Cannr , If you need some of my points, you got them

I know I dont have many points to give, but I would be honored to help!

..and cannr, we are here for you! Money problems are tough believe me I know. We are dodging collectors left and right from old credit card debt, but after joining this site, I know that it takes time to get out of it.

Please keep your head up :wink:

Hey girlfriend....spend a few minutes crying...and then eat some chocolate. Now are you ready?? Your better than them..they are the ones that are wrong..you had a bad day. ..Tomorrow will be better...ask me to do anything and I'm there...need me to drive down???

OMG. Thank you guys so much! I'm bawling now! Maybe that's what I need to do! You all are such wonderful people. And you all keep your points. Every single one of you earned those points by helping others and deserve every point you have. Please keep them for yourselves. I think it's just that everything is hitting all at once. You all are so kind to me. And I love every one of you. Thank God I have someone to talk to who understands what's going on. It's got to be okay. Maybe not right now (as I run and hide under the bed), but hopefully the sun will come back. You don't know what your words mean to me. I know each one of you "has my back". And I do appreciate that. I didn't mean to burden anyone with my problems, but I just had to get it out. I'd rather help people out so they don't feel like this instead of bothering you guys with my "downer" moments. But I couldn't help it today. It's just looking ugly at the moment. But, please, just know that you caring about me is all that matters to me. Not the points, not anything else. Just the fact that I do have people who care about me makes me feel better. You honestly don't know how touched I am just reading your words. I hope tomorrow will be a better day. luke, thank you. ang, thank you. kash, thank you. morning, thank you. volley, thank you. and everyone else, thank you. Whoever even took the time to read this post shows that you care. That means a lot to me. I promise I'll try not to be a "downer" anymore and burden you guys with my issues. I can't thank you enough for your kind words though. You are all true friends. I just wish to God you were here with me now.

Cannr :hug: We all love you and when you are scared or hurting we are scared and hurting for you :rose: I know I don't have many points but you can have them. I know what it is like getting those disconnect notices. It sucks. But I know if you look hard you will see the light again. Try your community and see if they have a one time help thing (they do here, for hardships)try a church or an org. in your area they may help and ask for some sort of service from you in return. I know you will get through this. You are a fighter!!! Everyone has those downer days, heck I think I was today, I was bawling watching animal planet today. If you ever need to vent or just need to chat PM me and I can give you my e-mail addy or even my phone number and you can vent, cry or just to have someone there to listen, I will be there. Stay strong and we will always be watching your back for you :rose:

Cannr- I am sorry to hear about your financial problems. I know exactly how you feel! I wrote out all my bills for the month as usual- only this time I mailed them all at once instead of each time we had a pay day :shock: Put us in a world of hurt!

You must never think it is a burden to share with us, what is really going on! You would want to have others share their problems with you, wouldn't you? That help, and giving and receiving is hard for us. I would much rather give and help, than let anyone know what is really going on.

Fortunetely, because I am a counselor- I learned how to let someone know what is really going on and to get it out- what you surpress wil be expressed in something else- mine was depression, eating, somoking , you name it :lol:

Hang in there, we are here if you need to talk-or scream!!..KAren :D

Cannr -

I'm sorry you're going through this, luv. It can be so hard sometimes. Please keep your chin up - know that you're in good company. We've all been there - and some of us are still there! We all know what you're going through.

Have you checked into any local agencies for help with the utility shutoff? What about Modest Needs?

Hey Cannr...check your PM...for a note from me!! :lol:

Thanks, puddle, bossy, and sue. And, morning, thank you for the pm. It's okay. puddle, you keep your points. You give good advice and deserve every point you have. Thank you for being so kind though. You are all so sweet. And so nice to me. I'm hoping my spirits will get "back up" today. I hate to bother you guys with my stuff. I just need to try to stay focused and not let it consume me. I'll be okay. I just can't thank you guys enough for caring and for responding. You are all great true friends.

Cannr - my original response blew up and when I couldn't find this thread I responded to you on the one about our friend Tracy from GECC. Please check it out - I do care!

Cannr
If you need me I am here or only a PM away.Anything you need you got .Anything I have I will gladly share. Im on a bit of a downer myself today because of that Cohen and Slamawitz crap, but that does not diminish the caring I have for others.

You guys are good people
This topic needs to be in a museum

Cannr - Things may suck right now, but look at how much progress you have made! You are on the right track, and you are taking control of things again. It takes some time to mess things up financially, and it will take some time to get it all back on track. But you are well on your way! [color=Red] Y[/color]

Thank you, mperez, kash, and goudah. Got another call at work today from "someone". She no longer works here. I'm programmed into saying that now. Don't know if it's another pdl or collector. Tried talking to the electric company. Got pissed and hung up. Called back and got a 1/2 decent person. Still can't swing it. The store front - I don't even want to go into that. I'm not going to make it this week as far as bills. That's all there is to it. So if I disappear, my electric has been whacked. Or my internet, as it's still "past due" even with a payment. Went around again with the illegal CA that reported me to the credit bureaus. Not trying to whine, but "I'm done". I'm weary. I'm beat.

Fighting the good fight is always hard and wears ya down can but dont' give up! Like goud said it's always SO easy to get behind yet SO dang hard to catch up!!! U are on the right track and things will get better, that i promise u!
U've got loads of support here! Wud the power co let u post date them a check??
Just a suggestion,
Ang

C, Ive got about 80.00 in points. Take them. If I need them I can borrow them back at another time.
Kash

ang, they're idiots. kash, stop it! You keep your hard earned points! I'll try and stop being a downer. But there's just no "smile" anymore. Kind of depressing.

My points are right here if you need them. I am right here if you need me.

cannr ~ I forgot to put a message in there, but I donated what few points I had to you. There weren't much but I hope it helps some.

Cannr do not go and hide. Keep your head up high. It is hard but you can't let them beat you. You are not a quitter. YOu will kick yourself for the rest of your life if you quit now. You have all of us here to support you and you know that. Remember if life hands you lemonade, make lemonade. :lol: Sorry I know it is a old overused sayng but it makes me laugh evrytime i hear it.
:hug:

Makes me thirsty

If anyone wants to donate points to Cannr - Go to a post of hers, and click on the Donate button to the left of the post under her point total. It will take you to a screen where you can donate points to her.

Regardless of what she says, we are all friends here. If we want to help her, we should be allowed! Yes, Cannr said don't, but that's because most of us would say that.

Goudah-Thanks for the instructions!

cannr- Just sent you some points....you said not to but I dont care. :P

Thank you Goudah. I was wondering if how and if we could donate even if she did not want us too. She does so much for so many people.

Exactly! Besides, imagine a day on this site with no Cannr! It would be like there was no sun . . . .

And I donated some points too . . .

I just know there are many people who would be lost. Myself included.

Exactly - Which is why regardless of what Cannr says if someone wants to help by donating points they should. I personally would not want to ask for help either. I understand where she is coming from.

As soon as I saw her first post on this thread I donated points. I just wish I had more to donate. She deserves it. She has done so much for me, it is the least I can do for her.

You guys! I swear to God, I'm going to be bawling all night long. I've already used my kleenex's up and have toilet paper here now. You all did not need to do this. I was not wanting anyone to use their hard earned points on me. You all deserve those points. You work hard for those points. goudah, I see you were the "ring leader" in this. Your kindness touches me. You all will never know how much this means to me. My only friends. And you've come to my rescue when you didn't have to. You've all already done so much for me with advice, help, support, and information. This is just above and beyond. I already thank God every day for finding this site. Now my mind is just totally blown away by all the support and concern and care. The only words to say are "thank you", and that just doesn't feel like enough. If anyone ever needs anything, please know I will do whatever it is you need. I could not ask for a better bunch of friends. No where in the world are there better people than right here. God bless every single one of you. And, know that my heart is overflowing right now. I just can't say enough. I love you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you with all my heart.

And that is exactly the reason we all wanted to help and did what we could......

Yep!

:lol: What ever I had left is yours....

roxy, volley, goudah, 2ndband, pyb, puddle, morning - I'm still sitting here snotting and crying. You all are so kind and caring. I always knew that, but this hit me right in the face. You have shown me (in my nasty dark hour) that there are people who care and are selfless. And that there is sun. It took you guys to show me that. And I thank you for it. I'll be thanking you forever. You honestly do not have a clue how much this all means to me. I've never had anyone care so much. This is the best bunch of friends I could ever find. Thank you for raising me back up from under the bed in hiding. I was lost before I found you guys and I thank God for all of you.

I am sorry cannr but I already cashed in my points. Now I feel really bad that I can't help you right now. I hope that everything works out for you, I just wished I could have given you some you have been an inspiration to me and I feel terrible. :cry: that I can't help you at this time.

ladybug

Alright, stop it now!!!! Now I am needing a tissue. My furry pig is sitting here giving me this strange look lol. See, I told you that if you looked hard enough you would be able to see a light. We are a family and when one needs help we all get together and help the best we can. Oh and I was so glad to see "you" come out from under the bed, I was starting to think you had a pretty big dust bunny under there :wink:

I am glad you found your way. This forum would not be the same without you.

ladybug, don't you dare feel bad. Never ever. It was not my intent for my friends to donate their points. You are always kind and caring to everyone. You help a lot of people out. And we are all a team here. Your words of concern are more than enough for me, ladybug. Thank you.

puddle, pet the fat pig for me.

pyb, thank you. I wouldn't be the same without this site! I'd be one lost person in this world!

My points are on the way to you as I type this. I do hope it helps. You Know Cannr, we are all part of a family here, and that family will support each other in good times and in bad times.A million hugs from me to you.

kash, did I not tell you to keep your hard earned points? Don't make me start blubbering again today like I spent doing last night! You are one of the best. Offering to be my "employer", offering me your phone number, now throwing points at me. What did I ever do to deserve friends like this? kash, thank you for being so sweet and always there for me. And also for doing this, which you did not have to do. You know I am here for you. And you've all proven you are cetainly there for me. And, yes, we are a team. Thank you, kash. You shouldn't have done it, but thank you, my friend.

Cannr, You are so very welcome. keep your chin up .

cannr~ believe me, I do know how you feel. If you remember not too long ago when my husband was gone, I was in a fit. I could not believe the generoisity of the people here that helped me. But is that not what we are here for, to help each other and anyone else in need? You take care and keep that chin up.

(((hugs)))
Karen

Cannr - Thanks for being there for us all the time. That is why we want to be here for you. I'm in the same boat at ladybug though, but if I hadn't just cashed in my points, that $30 would have been yours, and I would have had no issues giving it to you. You say we deserve our points because we earned them, but we can do what we want with them and we think you deserve them because you are great.

And thanks for reminding us that we'll have our bad days but thanks to this site we can get through them together. You have taugh us all wonderful lessons, whether you intended to or not! Thanks for everything Cannr....

Cannr- hope things are going better for you!

I cashed in my points last week, or would love to help you and SueBee!!

Take care, if you need to talk, I am here! :rose: Karen

2nband - I remember. And were you not amazed at how quickly everyone is so willing to help? I am still amazed. Thank you.

poko - Please! You earned your points and you cashed them in! That is what they are for! Thank you for your thoughts, poko. That means the world to me.

bossy - You know I love you! Thank you for your kind words and your thoughts.

You guys now have me crying at work again. People are really going to wonder why my face is swollen and red and snot is everywhere!

I love you all. And I do mean that. There is not a better bunch of people that I have met in this lifetime.

Tell them at work that you are having a PMS moment :lol: Karen

Thanks for making me laugh, Karen! As I use paper towels now. I have to get more Kleenex since they're all gone from last night!
