Homeward Bound - Page 12

While I have known Shelley for well over 15 years, I don't think that autobahn's opinion is out of line. For me, airing my dirty linen on a public board and begging for charitable contributions on the internet would be the ultimate humiliation and loss of self-respect. It just could not happen--no matter how down and out I might be--period.

I might share my embarrassing predicament with less than a handful of close personal friends via telephone or private email. I would not beg from these friends. If they want to volunteer to assist me financially, let the respective conscience of each individual be his guide.  Set up a PayPal account? Never!!

There--I've said what has been on my mind for a while and don't feel like Scrooge....

BOB ...
Shelley needs you to call her...she may meet you for a cup of joe...
STeph
Tonight Sunday...if you are close to where she is...She has made it as far as Nashville, TN tonight.
 

 Louise, I have been a member of this board for along time, I don't post much, don't feel the need to, but on this one I must say something, I respect your opinion very much, and I can understand what you are saying,but, unless you have been in her position, you really can't say what you would do. I have been there and done that, before computers were around! Did I beg for help? I am sure I did, just not on the computer! Would I have if computers were around at that time? I am sure I would of!  In life, I go by, never say never!  You just don't know what might come along!
