When I am cutting fine timber, or lining boards, I want the end to be held so the cut is clean all along itself.

There is a story, a 3rd party story, but still a story. New interns show up on the farm. The farm is widely known (to those who shop at farmers markets here in Tennessee) and popular. So on the first day the keys are handed to a new intern, and is directed to drive the truck over to a particular place on the farm to work. The intern does as told. Out of the vehicle and doing whatever task was assigned to the intern, a crash is heard and the truck is no longer where it was originally parked. Intern left it in neutral, turned off the key and didn't know to set the parking brake or leave it in gear when not running. The truck rolled downhill, through a fence and into a house on a neighboring property.

However, few of those past offers of "help" thought me that while I didn't (and still don't) want to sound rude or as a total bitch, I made several signs inside and outside of my home that reads:
"Lets be comfortable and don't ask me for loaning you anything. Thank you".
It's better this way I think. I also learned to be assertive after spending serious $ on helping others (pick-up truck for 3 months returned without oil and...empty, broken drag lawn mover + tractor, rusted garden tools, pneumatic tools, damaged books, etc... I've had enough!).
People can think of me what they want. They will anyway. Good or bad. I don't care![]()
