"I told him I'm not present enough to be of any help to anyone, and so I can't ask for it either."
Now, Daisy, if one of us said this, you'd be the first to tell us that this is not the way babble works. Because it is not, in fact, the way babble works, thank goodness. Are you listening to me? You know I'm right. Those rules you're stating are your own internal rules, not anything that your friends at babble have agreed to. You're cheating us of our opportunity to help, if you don't let us help you when you need it and we want to help.
Imagine what it would be like if everyone you have access to refused to let you help them in any way. Wouldn't that stink?
So, please trust us to be able to choose for ourselves whether/when we want to offer help. This is a voluntary board; We are not burdened by participating. Quite the opposite.
And even if babble did work that way, you have contributed so much over the years that you have a lifetime pass now for asking for help.
Please take good care of yourself. We all look forward to you being among us.
(((Daisy)))
