Does it depend on whether it is an acquaintance, a family member, a lover, a child? At what point does one cut them loose and say, you are on your own?

Yes it does. And that point depends with each and everyone of them.

Someone today said that getting coins for free was to much of a risk. I ask if they played the lottery they said yes. I said talk to you later.

That was a quick cut off. Others I would spend a little more of my time with even if it was just a conversation.

That monkey worked overtime on this post 👍
