I agree, with everything you said, I didn't go overboard, but I did do what
I wanted to. She wanted me to get ti out a 25cent vending machine, she
didn't care. However I could not do that, for more than enough mushy
reasons. I didn't go overboard, I paid mine of when the credit card bill
came so I did what I could.
