    If borrow, will the boy ā€” like Andy Capp on pints ā€” pay his dad back?

    Tony asked, about 8 hours ago

    Do you lend or borrow?

    Sometimes borrow from my husband for mutual things if Iā€™m short on cash (but he always gets that cash back) ā€“ and sometimes lend to friends in case of emergencies, but larger sums only with a receipt. Works nicely.

    And no, Tony ā€“ you pay for your drinks yourself. No money from me.

    ā€œNeither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friendā€ā€¦ says Polonius

    Good adviceā€¦ hard to followā€¦ mostly the lender part, cos I hate borrowing anyway.

    Ā 

    I guess it depends, thoughā€¦.

    There are a few, a very few, people to whom I would lend whatever I could, knowing Iā€™d get it back right awayā€¦.

    and in fact theyā€™re the ones Iā€™d give money to, if I could, in a time of needā€¦. and even though they probably wouldnā€™t ask.

    Theyā€™d do it for meā€¦ and when it comes to ten or twenty dollars, sometimes we donā€™t even keep track.

    Ā 

    I also know a few perpetual sinkholes, actually I can think of three, offhandā€¦ friends or relatives, always broke, bad with moneyā€¦

    whom I usually allow to borrow and repay, borrow and repay, the same ten or twenty dollarsā€¦

    an arbitrary amount I feel like I could live with losing, for friendship sake.

    Ā 

    They know not to try to borrow more when they still owe me someā€¦.

    and I try to just shrug my shoulders, when they show me some foolish extravagances they bought, instead of paying me back.

    Ā 

    As for borrowingā€¦..

    I donā€™t have muchā€¦ but if I owe anybody money, for any reason, Iā€™m compulsive about repaying it as soon as possible.

    Ā 

    As for Elliotā€¦ I donā€™t think he or Peter ever thought there was any notion of repayment in his request.

    Ā 

    BTWā€¦. when I was a kid in the Midwest, we said ā€œCan ya borrow me fifty cents?ā€

    So the one word sufficed for both.

    It must be regionalā€¦. havenā€™t heard it in years.

    Almost forgotā€¦..

    Happy St. Patrickā€™s Day!

    The day when everybodyā€™s Irishā€¦

    for no good reason at allā€¦.

    unless you count corned beef and beer.

    Ā 

    Yes Plodsā€¦ I know.

    As to the QotDā€¦. Iā€™ve resigned myself to neither since ā€˜lendā€™ always turns out ā€˜giveā€™.

    Although, I prefer ā€˜donateā€™.

    I do not borrow. However I do ā€œlendā€ and lend and lend. Seems like those I lend to do not know how to repay, but since it is all family, I just donā€™t look to get that money back. When it comes to things, though, I will go get them after a decent interval of time.

    Neither borrower (unless you count my mortgage) or a lender. But sometimes I treat. I got this round.
