Dear Cr-Abby from On the Spot in Seattle


SHAMELESS 'FRIEND' LOBBIES FOR LOAN THAT WASN'T OFFERED
DEAR CR-ABBY: My friend "Tracy" has been hinting that she needs to borrow money. I don't loan money to people unless it's an emergency, and frankly, I know if I lend her any, she won't pay me back.
Last week she took her family on vacation and to her uncle's funeral. When they got back, she went on and on about all the fun they had and mentioned that she had spent almost $1,000. She then followed it up with, "So, next month I may need to borrow money from you. Does your offer still stand?"
Cr-Abby, I never offered to loan her money! I quickly changed the subject because I didn't want to say anything I might regret later. How do I tell her I don't want to loan her money without losing a friendship or hurting her feelings? -- ON THE SPOT IN SEATTLE



Dear Rainy Days and Mondays,


Refer her to GWB who seems to be in a very generous mode in these last days of his Presidency...

Bail Outs for Everyone!!!
