[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 522849, member: 13542"] Daisy, this may or may not be an option for you, depending on what it is you want next, but when I have wanted something it appeared I couldn't have in the ordinary way, I sometimes simply called up and asked if the person was willing to negotiate with me. I once did this with a therapist in the town I was living in then. He was known to be excellent but he was also very expensive and I didn't even have insurance then. I called him up, told him my situation, explained I was a single mom, told the truth, and that I was committed to doing whatever it took to do therapy with him. He made an appointment for me and we talked and (GOD BLESS HIM) at the end of the meeting, he said, "[I]how about $5.00?"[/I] I saw him for 3 years and he was one of the best therapists I've ever had and he REALLY helped me. Since that time I've utilized the concept of "life is a negotiation" and often have simply asked for what I want, and asked what I could do to make it happen. There is also a trade, bartering, etc. It doesn't always work, but really, you would be surprised at how often it works, it just doesn't occur to us to ask. [/QUOTE]
