I am sorry...I think about my own personal experience the past two months....dad on life support for a week (placed on thanksgiving night), in nursing home for a month, came home Christmas Eve, his wife has 8 hour surgery and was in the hospital for a week, we are trying to keep the family business afloat while caring for our ailing parents. I personally haven't spoke to my best friend but twice via text messages...she completely understands. sometimes people are just busy...I really wish people would be more understanding...maybe she has something personal going on. Maybe sending it would brighten her day....

She could probably find it online and buy it herself. I keep certain online major retailers in business.  Tell her to Google it. LOL

You didn't read the OP's further post about her relationship with this person. They are not BFFs - far from it - and the person is bordering on toxic behavior with the OP. It would not only not be a loss for the OP to cut the person loose, it would be freeing for her.

I know friendship is different for everyone, but what you've indicated here, @NativeJax sounds like your "best friend" should be calling you or either being there with you if it's feasible.  That to me, is what a best friend would do.

I find people use the term "friend so loosely."

I don't think that @Pqfan is going to do squat for them, hence her last sentence of her opening post, "Insert language that I can't use here"

 

 

In other words, "Are you freakin kidding me with this?!? I don't think so!"


 

Yes, I thought it was pretty clear from her first post that she had no intention of doing this. It seemed to me to be more a "Can you believe the nerve of this person?" post rather than a request for advice. 

 

Under the circumstances, I think she made the right decision.

First of all, it is my feeling that you already had a problem with this person before this incident ever happened. This request of hers just added fuel to the fire.  I can understand that.  I think I would first let her know how I felt about her attitude towards my other friends, see what she does with that, and go from there.  Her answer may be the very thing that tells you what the best thing for you to do is and have peace of mind about your decision.

@NativeJax, you have a kind heart and I'm sure you're awful busy. Sending up a prayer for you and your family. Know the trials you're going through and the difficulty that is with you, so I wanted to send best wishes. Take care of yourself.

Since I won't buy this item they said I have until the end of February to get of the house I am living in.

I am in the house of her fiance.

I rent a room in the house.
