I was out tearing down the wheelchair ramp we constructed 4 years ago for
my mom when a Katherne Hepburn look-a-like passed by on the other side of
the street while walking her dog. Since it's garbage day, she found a
desk thrown out by one of our neighbours.
Next thing I know she's back with a sub-compact sedan and is struggling
to squeeze this desk into the trunk. I could tell in a flash that it
wasn't going to happen. Next thing she's over on my side asking who owns
my red Ford Ranger. I admitted it was me and she attempts to hire me to
pickup & deliver the desk for $5.00.
Since she was a fellow dog walker and I assumed a neighbour, I asked
where she lived and offered to deliver it no charge. She insisted I take
her money and proceded to shove a big handful of loose change at me.
After delivery was completed she wanted to know if I hired out my truck.
I said no..it was for towing my sailboat. She then offered me $20. to
deliver some objects to an address about a 12 minute walk from our
neighbourhood.
Said I was busy but would think about it...got home and found out she
stiffed me....counted only $4.44 in change.

Start a fundraising campaign for the additional money. JohnH can give you
some pointers on how to do it.


That's a good idea. In my neighbourhood, we constantly have fundraisers at
the door wanting money for one cause or another.
If I could negotiate a percentage for my 'expenses', I could do quite well.
I'll ask Johnny .
