Bill. It was a MEMBER of THIS community. Like if it was *I* soliciting help for my daughter, please send her stuff to cheer her up. You all would bend over backwards to do it wouldn't you? Most of you anyway. How would you feel if it turned out I didn't have a daughter? You'd feel a bit betrayed eh?
Give me another break. You got to be a tad bit cynical in some areas or you'll always get taken advantage of in life! It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the feeling of GOODNESS and HOPE when trying to do something good. You still have to make sure the source is right and then do your deed! And Beth, for the record, I never doubted *you* ... just in case you get that feeling from some of these replies. :) We know you're good people. :) On Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 8:52 AM, Bill Wheatley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > :) Should have just sent a card like it said.
