From this Craigslist barter ad:"My husband tripped over his mid-life crisis and landed in a pair of boobs that weren't mine." I went to the woman's site and read the story -- it's pretty frustrating (on her behalf). Go ahead and check it out: WeThinkCheatersSuck. It's not glamorous but she's really honest about the situation and trying, in a pretty creative way, to support herself and her special-needs child. When I see stuff like this, I always wish I had the resources to make a grand anonymous gesture -- ya know, pay a month's rent for a needy person or something. We're having a bake sale on Monday on behalf of a company employee who lost everything in a house fire. She lives in another state, but still I wanted to gather up a ton of stuff and send it to her. I'm not tooting my own horn, here. I just think it's good that once in a while, I can stop being a selfish brat. But since I can't afford the grand gesture, I think I'll keep my eyes open for coupons that WeThink can use. If you have some for her, too, maybe you can pass them along. She has a Wish List of practical household items here, so if you get coupons in your Sunday paper, maybe you can spare a stamp to send some her way. (Send them to Dawn, PO Box 404, Westfield WI, 53964.) If we can help someone less fortunate, who also happens to have a great turn of phrase, that would be pretty cool. |

I remember the Xmas before last, Tbloggers donated a boatload of $$ and gifts for April/KrazedOne. I sort of got it started - was blown away with the generous response we got. She was so grateful to have things showing up in time for the holidays...

People can, on occasion, be pretty cool. How is April?

I don't know how she is. Haven't heard from her in months despite sending her a couple of cards. Just mailed a letter off to her yesterday (with a stamped return envelope).

Interesting. Just wonder if it is real. I'm being skeptical, I know. I might buy a hat, or perhaps bid in her auction.
