The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

And Jannie - if I had some gold, I would totally unload it, but the only "real" jewelry I own is a thin ring that was my mom's & her pearls, which she left me when she died. I don't think either would bring me enough to make giving them up worth it, if that makes sense - the ring is gold, but it's very thin and kinda banged up due to being old, and the small sapphire is chipped. I wear it because it was hers, but it's not much to look at, lol.

And Dani, I don't pray, but I have some warm fuzzies that are yours if you want 'em. Suffering is suffering, it's not a matter of degrees. I learned that from this one psycho British Zen monk I used to date!



Oh you. And the rest of you that offered to help - oh (collective) you, too.

Thank you so much for the thought and your kindness. It may or may not have made me cry (but if it did - and I'm not sayin' it did, mind you, but if it did - it was only a little, because I am wearing my Extra Strength Big Girl Pants today, so no worries), but I am not sure I can let you guys do something like that. I really have no idea when I could pay any of you back, and I just wouldn't feel right about it. It seems...wrong... for me to do that, I guess.

I still stick around here even when sh*t sucks because it's a good refuge - I suspect many of you do the same. You guys are good people, and if only Stevie & the rest of that lot knew what awesome people they attract as dedicated fans, they might be moved to release an album more often or tour Europe more often or something crazy like that.

I have had some new developments today, though - one good and one not good. The apartment complex that looks like they will approve me, if they do, said today that it won't take a whole week for me to be able to move in like the guy yesterday said, which is GREAT. But how I thought earlier that I could crash on my parents' floor in the interim...my foster parents have the same landlord I do (he seemed fine at the time, which is why I took this house), and he informed them yesterday that if they let me stay with them, then he will report them to the city for violating their occupancy permit and kick THEM out, too. So that is...y'know...NOT GREAT. I can't put them in that situation, and I don't think I've ever disliked someone more than I dislike this man at this moment.

And so, in conclusion, you are all wonderful and should each have a new puppy or some cookies, and this guy is a douchecanoe of epic proportions.

You should let us help. To me, it wouldn't matter if you couldn't pay it back. If you can't count on us Ledgies.... then who can you count on?!! Seriously, you are in a bind and you need help. Let us help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
