Look--caring people will deal with their friends' and co-workers' special needs, period. Yeah, I give one of my co-workers a hard time for eating cold ravioli out of a can for lunch , but when he needs me to take him to the bank on my lunch break 'cause his car's broken, of course I'm there for him. I have a friend with a couple of chronic illnesses. So when I was sick in high school, I would call and let her know that I shouldn't come over, 'cause a sinus infection that made me feel bad for a day or two would knock her out for weeks. Think about it. All of us here on the boards watch out for our friends and aquaintances--that's why we're here watching out for each other. We have every right to expect our friends to do the same for us.
