[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 788433, member: 7509"] I agree with Jo above. Just take the money, say thank you and leave it at that. Don't try to read too much into it. They appreciated having you help, you did not ask for pay but just take it with a smile. It is especially appropriate in this case since there is no way they can reciprocate and help you in a similar way. My closest neighbor and I help each other in different ways. We know we will get to help each other again so no money changes hands. Another more distant neighbor helps me spread manure etc that there is no way I am going to be able to reciprocate so I pay him with some cash when we are done even though he doesn't ask. He says thanks and leaves. What makes things very uncomfortable is when I really want to pay someone for help and they refuse. I hate that. Some folks want you to force it on them...I don't like arguing in public about payment. Just take it with a thank you. Your help was valuable. You provided good help. I think whether you need the money or not is not a factor. Accepting reasonable pay sort of leaves the field level when you are done and should not be a big deal, in my opinion. Jim [/QUOTE]
