I agree completely BigJ12. That is why I inserted this statement into my post above.
I would just about bet he would say it was all good with him as long as Coug didn't bash Ross. (End of technology)
I still believe the bow is/was a gift to Coug. If that is/was the case then no handouts were "asked" for. To ask for a gift and to be given one is two totally different things. If I asked for a new truck and you gave me one, that, to me is a handout. If you showed up out of the blue on Christmas morning with a new truck because I hinted I could not afford one or you just knew I needed one, that is a gift. You would not expect me to give anything in return. If you did, you probably would eventually get your feelings hurt because I might win the Lotto and buy the Vette and drive it more. (But being who you are, I would buy you one too. LOL)
While I see your point and agree with it to some extent, I'd like to turn the table and say "What's wrong with the world today" Everybody has their hand out and nobody want's to do the right thing.
So, what is the "right" thing for Coug to do?
