Thanks for sharing your story, David. That's so nice what you did for your friend! It is uplifting to know that there are still generous people in the world. Hope you get plenty of good karma back in return!

That was very sweet of you, David.

A little act of kindness goes a long way...

David, that really is so nice. Twice I have brought people to Stevie/FM. I flew a friend out to Vegas to come and see Stevie there, got her ticket, and the hotel room, and a ticket for a third friend who did pay her own airfare. I really wanted them to be there with me so I helped them out. We had a great time. This was the Enchanted tour in '98. We wound up getting back stage and meeting Sharon and Carlos. That was such a cool experience.

For The Dance concert I bought a friend a ticket, she paid but I got it from a scalper so she paid the face value and I forked over the rest. We had a good time but the seats turned out to be way over to the left so we had Stevie's back to us the whole night.

I could have spat on Christine's piano however, she was right in front of us.

You are kind David. Be as kind to yourself as you are to others.

Although, of course, I feel like I would do that if I had the money, but I don't think DavidMn is rolling in it, or you, and you did it anyway.

Yep, I did. I worked for a consulting firm had some stock I bought through the employee purchase plan. I made a couple grand so I cashed them in and viola! I did feel guilty being so "frivolous" but the stock tanked anyway so I am nothing but pleased that I spent it when I could!

Hmm, so Aries fans will pay for your tickets? PM me and let me know who the Aries peeps are on the board.

It's true they are supposed to be thoughtlessly generous, though.

Right, of course, "Aries". I guess its just my brain wanting to do its own thing!

I didn't know it was an Aries trait to be generous, interesting.

That's a great story David, it's good to have friends like that.

Well, I am not surprised by your generosity to your friends, because I have seen how nice you are.

I can attest to that fact. I HAD money, but I spent all of it, and now I dont have any. But I wouldnt change a thing. At least I have memories of what I did, and I'll be back on my feet soon enough. I have a handle on my depression now, and I'm on Selexa, which has helped.

[/QUOTE/]Really? I didn't know that about Aries people. Well, I'm glad to know that we are known for that. I rather it be that than a kick in the balls!!

DavidMn · #30 11-06-2005, 05:36 PM

I wanted to say this too. I feel that with Stevie as an inspiration of mine, just looking at her example of what a good person she is, has been a guiding light for me.
