checkout your local thrift stores, that's the best place, i picked both of these separately for under 5$ they both have cover prices of 15. selfhelp books are great, cause a lot of people get them read the first few chapters and forget about them, then give them away to thrift stores..

Here is a question on forgiveness that we had a lot of fun discussing. If you loan a friend a posession (say your car, or let him live in your house while you ago away for a month) and he ruins it through stupidity or neglect (ran car into pole cuz he was going too fast and not paying attention cuz the first issue of the new Teen Titans comic came out with Geoff Jones writing it and he just couldn't wait to read it so he was sneaking peeks as he was driving or let his cats poop on your carpet and claw your doors when he was living in your place)
does it still count as forgiveness if, even though you are not mad at them, you still refuse to let them borrow your car/house sit for you?

Just curious on thoughts on this.

According to my personal "forgive, but do not forget" rule, then I would say it's still forgiveness.

Just because someone is your friend doesn't mean you can't be afraid they'll act like an idiot with regards to your property, especially if they prove that they're likely to do so.

Never forgive, never forget.

There is no mercy, forgiveness nor peace.
Only hatred and vengeance.
