Her friend is way out of line even asking. Yeah not really. It is common to assume that others think things are expensive if you do. The friend may have thought with the room being so "expensive" she was doing everyone a favor by sharing the cost. What kind of friends are they if they don't even know that Powers can afford the room by himself ? I'm not even close to being his friend and I know that. They are the friends of the wife. She may not boast about money as much. I doubt that; what else is there to boast about when you're married to Powers ? I sit corrected.

Besides, I don't trust strangers enough to allow them too close whilst I slumber.

Financially, offering to pay $400 for a room to help out a friend is no more than picking up a check. It's not going to break the bank, and if we were in a similar position, I'd hope we had friends who would offer to do it for us.

I have no problem with picking up a check with friends, but if I had friends like that would only be my friend if I pay them to be, then I probably wouldn't. Nope didn't use it. A friendly gesture is not paying someone to be a friend. It is not like I am suggesting they invoice powers every month for friendship services. Stop being obtuse.

We're happy to share and we'll even pay for the room. Since we've reserved a king bedded room, you might want to bring an air mattress as I'd imagine the floor isn't very comfortable.

Isn't it usually over 90 degrees in Texas?

You are saying if you didn't pay them, they wouldn't be prompted to stay in touch. This is just like your extinction thread, except me = you and you = vector.

So why are you so opposed to sharing the room in 15 words or less. I want to know b/c I care about you and Mrs. Pow.

I don't deny I have done that in the past but since I offered further explanations to qualify it which was, no doubt, a waste of my time since you knew what I meant the first time around now you are arguing for arguing sake.
