[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny that you're sooo busy that you can't possibly help her, yet here you are wasting time on DCUM complaining about her.

Some "friend" you are.[/quote]

OP here - 90 seconds to make a post doesn't compare to committing several hours for me to make a 10 minute montage with music and intro/outro which is what she wanted. I'm competent enough to make something, but not skilled enough to crank it out in 15 minutes.

It's not like I've said "no" to the dozen other help requests immediately before/after her mom's death. I'm human too and I'm hurt. [/quote]

God you are pitiful. [/quote]

Ignore this pp.

OP, it is an unfair ask. She probably does not realize how many hours it would take to do a decent job. But her reaction to your saying no was also childish.

When my mom passed away I asked a close friend to come and keep me company while I sorted out her stuff. She came a couple of times and I was always cognizant of the demand on her time and potential impact on her family's schedule. Grief does not give us blank excuses for acting unkindly toward our friends.[/quote]
