Get caller ID if you don't have it already and stop answering when they phone.

Just tell them the truth. "The money tree has been picked clean".

Did you tell them what you just told us? That you really don't have money to send? Why can't they see this? Do they have the impression that you have the financial means to subsidize them?

Don't EVEN get me started.

I can bet them living much better than you. They want and want and want and want and you will never be able to give enough because them have you wedged in the guilt corner.

I don't know how that problem can be resolved without plain and simple HONESTY!

Lol !...you are lucky you just have one sibling,I have quite a few,plus quite a number of nephews,and nieces,I get the calls as regular as clockwork every fortnight from one particular brother,I now limit the nephews and nieces by not replying to the calls,but the brother has become used to his regular food that he is now dependent,......*sigh*

Everytime I went to Hi Lo in Negril there was a line of at least 20 people that were waiting for Western Union wires. One guy was super pizzed. Sounded like he was expecting 100 American and got 100 &quot;J&quot;.
