Guess it would be a little suspicious to call in sick huh?

Fawnn re: financing... I have an interesting story to relate. I wanted to go to the Valley Forge Rally for AMerica so much in April. a local FReeper was going to drive w/me & share expenses (needed, as I had just had car repair done & really did NOT have the cash for the trip..gas money). I have been on very tight finances this past year.

His girlfriend from France surprised him by visiting the night before. I went to bed at 10 just sick about it all.

woke up at 2 & thought. shoot, I am going money or not. I knew it would be very close financially. Rally & all was wonderful. I had half forgotten that my gas tank was on fumes when I drove out of the natl park.

I passed on road a car with hood up. I stopped & asked if they needed to use cell phone etc. The man asked if I could drive him up about 5 miles.. I said sure. He had just had some type of foot procedure done & walking tough. Oliver was barking at him like crazy.. the car was a wreck... looked like a good break-down candidate. The man also looked pretty poor.

When we got to the elderly uncle's home the uncle came out & pushed some money into my hand. I said.. oh, no... I was embarrassed as it was ON THE WAY & I always try to help people. Uncle told me that I was their angel that night. THe young man's wife was sick & really wanted him by her side.

I wish I was in a position to give them the money instead..

BUT as it turned out that 20 was the money THAT I NEEDED TO DRIVE HOME & THEY WERE MY ANGELS.

This happened this spring. I have never shared the story with anyone..just not right opportunity
