"What?" you might ask An hour of Rod Stewart! He was, is and always will be just smashing! I have wanted other things in the past too, even when I didn't have them, and fortunately I have friends who lent things to me. I then returned them of course. Well... not always There was that time that... when I had finished using what they lent me, I couldn't possibly have returned those items as they were not in the same condition as when I received them I did eventually end up replacing them with brand new items but... I used those too before I got round to returning them Then I forgot about them for a long time and had no contact with my friend during that time either. Recently we met up again and I was reminded that I still have not returned them The problem is that now... they are rusty! There is only one thing I want to do now... and Rod knows.... I don't want to talk about it Do you always return everything that you borrow? In the same condition that it was when you received it? Would you replace it if it broke while you were using it? Or maybe give the equivalent amount in cash so that your friend could choose something similar?

Neither a borrower or a lender be.... I borrow from my husband, but that's a whole different story.

Have I told you lately that I love you? I think I'm worse than you, MysD. I sometimes never return at all. And my things were not returned to me either.

I try not to borrow any item from others, however, if I am forced to borrow and the item gets damaged, I would make sure that either I replace it or get it mended and also inform the lender about it.

@mysdianait you need to note it down somewhere or in a diary, if you are forgetting what you have borrowed from others, so that you do not lend in an embarrassing situation.

Oh yes, I started reading this and then was not able to return here. When I browsed through your discussions looking for it, I overlooked this one. I do return things, and I try to return them in the same condition as when I borrowed them. I am still waiting for certain people to return some things, though, as they have not been replaced yet ... or maybe they were and have since been borrowed by another friend.

If the things that you lent out had become rusty in the meantime, would yu want them back in that condition? Or would you prefer thetthe person concerned bought you new ones to replace them? In that case, would yu like to choose you own?

@purplealabaster Not even online shopping? You could do that from the comfort and privacy of your own home and then let the person concerned know your choiuces and they could order them and have them delivered to your door. If they had been unused for along time, mybe due to that person being in ill-health, then they could indeed have become rusty through no fault of the person who borrowed them

@mysdianait I would hope that they would take better care of them, so they didn't get rusty. However, in the case where they were rusty, I would prefer new ones. I would not want to choose my own, though, because that would involve shopping, and I normally do not like shopping.

@pgntwo BUte surely 'practice makes perfect' suggest the same theory? Here in Italy a coffee maker produces a better cup of coffee the more you use it and the older it gets, even though it is so obviously shabby, the tastier the coffee!

@mysdianait I am reminded of a principle in a book I read many moons ago, The Practice Effect. I must dig it out and have a read through it again. Things got better the more you used them, unlike here where things weaken and fatigue through repeated use.

I don't blame you. You should buy two. One to replace the one you borrowed and the other for yourself. Good song.

I love Rod Stewart too . Well, if ever the owner told me about a borrowed thing and i can't remember where i stored it , i would offer to just pay it or maybe buy a new one . Though , i always return borrowed things at once .

I have particularly been a fan of Rod Stewart myself. I usually don't borrow things from other people but when I do it isn't for long either. I would replace them if they were broken.

I don't borrow. I lent. When I lent I already am in the mindset that it is as good as gone. Though they came back and some didn;t, I didn't regret lenting. Except that one time I lent something of personal nature to a friend. It never came back. It didn;t have anything incriminating in that BUT it had taken me years to compile things in that diary. The hard work of those years lost bothered me more than the diary.

From that I deduct that .... if they are asking for them, then they are important to them Interesting.... especially if the person concerns knows that I now know that too
