    The idea I could remember a backfired scenario in my life and answer this question.
    The problem is, everything I plan ALWAYS goes step-by-step accordingly.
    Big Winks and Smiles!

    I'm still thinking.

    If I revealed all my secret ways, there wouldn't be near as much magic in the world today! 
    But, thanks for asking. :)

    I'm still thinking... ;) :)

  • It can't be any worse than the Au Gratin Scandal of 1999.

      Gris? There are some investigators here to see you. Gris? Hello, Gris, quit fooling around already. Did anyone see Gris leave?  I could have sworn he was right here ten seconds ago.  Hmmmmm.  Gee, officers, I don’t know what to tell you . . .

    Oh, the best one thus far is a doozy. Sparing the details, I discovered someone very close to me was abusing drugs. I helped them detox and got them into a recovery program. To be fair, the discovery was not a pleasant one and I essentially wanted to cut all ties with the person then and there, but I opted not to because I knew they needed someone in their corner. To a much lesser degree, I was motivated by the belief that, in helping this person, I'd eventually benefit from having someone in my corner too. It didn't work that way. Life happened and, viewing situations through clear eyes, the person realized they needed to be elsewhere. I couldn't even be angry with them because they were right. Ergo, by helping them with the expectation that they'd remain in my life, I was ensuring they'd leave. I still believe I made the right call, but the irony of the situation still gets me.

  • I think you made the right call too...regardless of how it ended.
