I'd assume if a friend was telling me this, she was asking for help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-offer-advice#post-1513885 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 11:02:39 +0000 MoonMoon 1513885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since she brought it up, your advice wouldn't be unsolicited, but just let her take the lead in bringing up the topic, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-offer-advice#post-1513839 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 10:39:38 +0000 Applesandbananas 1513839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a good way to throw it out there without coming off the wrong way.
