    I'm a nurse I've smelled it all. I do gag on a regular basis try to turn so they don't see

    My most memorable was a pt whose flesh was rotting out from the inside. No surgeon wanted to touch it so it took a week till someone stepped up.

    FS: You really had me thinking there.....and what a mental image you left in my mind.

    Stingy people: Well that depends. If you are trying to sell to them, you have to be firm. They will come back in a few days if your price is right.

    If they are in your circle of friends, just do things that don't require spending money. Go for a walk, talk, coffee shop.

    Don't invest anything that you are not prepared to lose.

    That is some good advice. Just because they are stingy doesn't mean we have to be. But, we do need to be aware that what we give is a one way street otherwise we could get fleeced. If you know this and still want to, all good.

    It really doen't matter if the other person is stingy or not...what matters is that you are not taken for a mug.

    ****but if they are stinky.....well, I'm not sure how to deal with that****
