Hardly! Our dollars up to about 94 cents US now. There ain't too much difference these days. I wish ours was still low ... I'd be making more money when I converted all that US cash to Canadian.

You gave him money after all. You can't give people everything they ask for. Plus, he might have been allergic to crayfish ... giving him that delicious food might have caused him more problems.

When he expressed an interest in the boxed leftovers that I had taken away from our meal at a fancy restaurant, I lied to him assuring him that he wouldn't want what was in the box. It was fettuccine with crayfish. I wanted it for myself. Is that wrong? I mean, he might not have liked it.
