Don't know if this is worth my time, but if things I write here are read by folks I care about, it will be......

Thought for the day, "If you never ask, you will never get."

Ask for the job at the end of the interview, ask for the discount no matter where you are, ask for the order... then shut up, ask for help when you need it, ask for forgiveness easily, ask for friendship, ask for love and by all means, ask for more salsa..... don't just sit there and hope they bring it.

.....BUT, never ask for permission to ask.
