it's the thought that counts. eventually we'll need all the help we can get.
to keep things in perspective, i think of myself when in my "pd state" as a very old person who might need help and that's basically how i treated my parents when they got older, the first time one of them stumbled or had an accident that was a game changer, i would rather offend them than risk having them fall,etc. now i'm in their position at times and i just grin and bear it.
