How Do I Give Things?

Employ someone to steal from you without your knowledge then covertly give it to them.

I'm sort of on the other side of it but not really - I've got basics like food and shelter taken care of but it's rare for me to be able to go anywhere requiring admission payments or anything like that above like $2 (which really limits dating). I guess the best thing to do would be to offer loans instead of trying to give freely so the other person can feel that even though they owe you, they (yes my pronoun usage is TERRIBLE, forgive me) will be able to pay the debt in a material way and not have all kinds of emotional complications instead.

Hi Anon, Maybe he/she doesen't want to feel beholden to you. Maybe they can make it on their own?

"Money Changes Everything was written by Tom Gray in the seventies and originally performed by "The Brains".

"In a show called the "Hot Ones" in 1984, Cyndi said about this song: "The Brains wrote the Song, and the Brains were a great band, that was around the same time Blue Angel was." Then she said that she was inspired to record the song because it so perfectly represented the tragic events surronding Blue Angel: the frivolous law suit filed against them by their ex-manager, the bankruptcy, the Polydor experience and all that bad business that ultimately conspired to split Blue Angel up. She said everybody was always asking her what happened to Blue Angel, she said her recording of Money Changes everything was inspired by that. She also said when she was with Blue Angel she thought the Brains were really great, and that they were going to make it big! So when neither Blue Angel or the Brains did make it big, it was even more of an inspiration to record the song.

"The video was filmed in Houston on October 10th 1984.

"In the video, there is a part where a fan runs onto the stage to hug Cyndi. Several questions happened about this. This WAS staged. It took several shots of Cyn getting up in the garbage can to pull the whole thing off... at least two or three attempts... and each time the "girl" was brought onstage... (info from Greg Houston). This girl was rumored to be Susannah Hoffs, of the Bangles who opened for Cyn that night. In fact it was Marta Marrera. She was from Kids Inc. She later became the singer named Martika and had that one hit wonder: Toy Soldiers.

"Cyndi recorded it in an unfinished room at the recording studio, almost like a basement. She recorded it alone in the room.

I want to submit just " but this machine won't let me

This is not just superfluous trivia, this is THE ANSWER to your question. Think about Martika: when she ran on stage, did she have any idea that one day she would be a star, filming her own video, with fans running on stage to hug HER? No, she did not. Like Cyndi, you should encourage your friend (Martika) to 'run on stage' and take your money, not allowing him or her to think about the day when they will be on stage, handing out their own largesse. Perhaps you could encourage your friend to 'act more like Martika.'

It doesn't help to dwell on what happened to 'The Brains' when pondering this analogy. Remember - no Brains, your gain.
