This post really shows the growth you have made in life. To be able to end with "there is a silver lining to that.....what if i had gone to the grocery store and loaded up and my card had been declined?????????? i would have passed out right there in the store..... " shows how far you have come.

I can't say that I would have been able to find a positive so quickly - it would have taken a few days!

Hope today is a better day for you my friend.

Tranquility

thank you, each and every one......

i'm blessed that nothing worse happened to me. car wreck, house fire, flood......but mostly, i'm blessed with Psych Central. when you live alone and have no one to talk to, having a wonderful online community that you can lay it all out to.....that's something else!!!!!

today wasn't as hard to get through as i had feared it would be. it was if someone had taken me in their arms and held me for awhile. i really, really needed that. you guys did it......love you, pat

i forgot. i have a great detective working on this. all withdrawals were made at a bank that, of course, has a camera at the ATM.

and due to someone here, i looked and Texas has a law about bank insurance. so, i called the bank and they said they did and i got the forms to fill out. she said it takes about 12 months, if you get anything from the parent company!!!!!!!!

used paypall for the first time - quite proud of myself. I had someone wipe out my bank account quite a few years ago and I remember how awful it was. People can be really awful sometimes. Fayerody - hope things get better for you real soon.

Pat,

First time I have used paypal to make a donation....wish it could have been more..but at least every little bit adds up in a large group.

As I said in your other post about your situation, you can PM me anytime.....I went through similar emotions with the ID theft situation with my Mother when she was dying......your posts brought back memories of those feelings since it hasn't been that long ago.

I can really relate to the feelings you are having which I posted in the reply on your other thread. PM me if you just feel like sharing with an ear that relates.

Debbie

This site has really blown me away!!! I've only been a member for a few days now and I don't know how I lived without it. Everyone has been so accepting and supportive.

It's amazing how everyone has come to help fayerody.

I'm really sorry I can't make a donation, but yuo are in my thoughts and prayers.

i've cried so much the past two days and now you've gone and done it again...........you have NO idea how much this helps me, emotionally and financially.....i don't have many IRL friends. i have lived here a year and met very few people that i can relate to.........so, you PCers are really holding me up.

i had two 1950 chairs on "layaway".....means that the shop owner holds them til i have money........i went by and explained to him the situation and he just walked over and got the chairs and put them in my truck and hugged me and i burst out bawling. then he turned around and got an antique oil derrick that had been made into a garden fountain (i had admired it) and put it in the truck. by then i was sobbing......he told to quit crying, it was bad for business!!! --==-- Community Fund Drive for Fayerody! --==-- --==-- Community Fund Drive for Fayerody! --==--

so, i'm trying not to cry too much here on PC......it may be bad for business!!!! love you all.......everyone that sends me a message, posts in the threads, hugs, all of it. THANK YOU...........

I'm so sorry you've had to face this situation, but I'm also touched that so many people here do care. I hope we can help make this awful situation a little better.

And that shop owner sounds like he has a great heart too.

You can cry all you want here, though-- it's actually not so bad for business!

<font color="#000088">I'm so sorry you've been through so much. I have had the same done to me before, just with my bank account being cleared out, and losing my home and all my posessions. But to have so much support in getting it back, and being so positive about it. I really admire that in you. I don't get paid until wednesday, I hope I can still donate then. I would really like to help as well!

Hi Pat,
I just can't believe that with your great wit and sense of humor and caring and intelligence...well, I could go on and on...that you don't have a TON of friends IRL! That just seems impossible to me! What I can tell you, is that if we lived in the same community, we would be VERY close friends IRL!! --==-- Community Fund Drive for Fayerody! --==--
Best,
Okie

okiedokie.....wish you did live here. i'm still working on Wants, but she got a job where she lives. --==-- Community Fund Drive for Fayerody! --==--

i tend to isolate myself here. i have two gay friends, my mechanic/retired military officer with a fantastic sense of humour, my "good" neighbors, (they don't fight dogs or cut trees down on "my" property)the priest at the Catholic church in front of me, the two maintenance men there. i guess that is it. no, wait, a great guy that i helped pick out his Christmas presents at Wal-Mart.......i work a lot and don't see many "public" people. just the patients and their caregivers...

after listing them, i see i have more than i thought i did!!!!!

thank you all so much for the support. i just got home from work and am going to have a bit of lunch. xoxox pat
