Asking for help then refuse it

Sounds like she wanted something easy for her cat. Nothing that would require her to spend a lot of money on. As a suggestion only, what would be a good thing to give to a husky that's almost 10 and is having athritis in his hips??

Some people are like that about everything... My ex sister in law was. Have a great and restfull day there.

Some people just have something in mind and nothing can change it.

I bid you welcome to the newly formed "DO I HAVE 'I'M STUPID' TATTOOED TO MY FOREHEAD" club!!! I hate to tell you how many times I have given advice to have it ignored! Then they come back to me and tell me what happened because they chose NOT to pay attention to what I had to say. I warned a "ex" friend NOT to go on her date with her "boyfriend" it would be a disaster...(she's married and had an affair with the "boyfriend") she went anyhow and called me a couple of days later in tears; the date was a disaster. I told another friend NOT to buy a certain brand of sewing machine because it was at a "GREAT" price...she had to return it because it was a piece of junk. I told my Mom not to buy a certain fabric because she wouldn't like it after it was washed...Yep, she bought it anyhow. She washed it once and it was like a piece of cheese cloth. I warned another friend about their tires, that they didn't want to take the 400 mile trip on them, that I would drive them to where they wanted to go. They drove the car anyhow and had a horrible accident that totaled their car and fortunately they weren't injured, just vehicleless for many many months (their insurance only paid them book value on the car, which was around $500). I could fill several books on my giving people advice and having it ignored. I will say that the girl at work wants to have tons of attention so she will get it when the food she gets for her cat comes in and she has a huge bill for the food. You can be sure you're not the only one she's gone to with the sad tail, and I get the feeling that she is hoping that someone at work would start a fund for her to defray the costs of the cat's medical bills and food. (Come to think of it, my ex-friend informed me last November that she lost her cell phone...HINT HINT...like I was supposed to buy her a new one. She had been given many many cell phones and was very upset that the people that gave them to her didn't put time on them! No guts no glory!!! ) I don't give advice anymore. It saves me a lot on aggravation and being annoyed. As my Mom used to say, "Advice is free so it is worth nothing". My time is worth a lot, and if I am going to give advice I expect that the person receiving it will realize that it comes from experience, research, and trial and error.

I can tell one thing that we still need to consider : Some doctors, vets and other professionals are also human beings and they can make mistakes too. They may give the wrong advice and our duty is to doubt what they say. We have to understand the advice and discuss about it, try to find even better solutions and ask whether their advice is the best one. Some more questions are also possible. Don't get me wrong, but, in my country, doctors are assumed to be our enemies so we can't just trust them. We have to know exactly what they are going to do to us. Some times they hide some important information from us and we are all human beings. I still think that girl with the cat was a little rude because she didn't come with specific information and she didn't do her homework before talking with you about the food for her cat, she was more like an annoying and she didn't relate to your advice. She didn't tell why your advice was not the best. She could bring some other types of food with better prices and show you those have the same materials her cat needs, she could maybe just take the cat to somewhere else with other treatments... Well, information is the solution and questions are the answer, I guess.
