OMIGOSH! I recently met someone that has really been a God-sent.
To me,this seems so wild,because most guys that I've known,often have some hidden motive for wanting to help you in some way.Not to say ALL men are this way,but there are men as well as women that offer to do something for you when your in distress,but they let you know real quick that there is a big price-tag along w/ that favor.
But recently I met someone online.He let me know real quick that he's married,so he's never even come close to propositioning me or anything...but he lives many many states away,and has become such a terrific online friend.Some people would like to think that most guys have a hidden motive for befriending another woman on the internet,and I have to admit,THAT'S what I tend to think sometimes(my bad,I know).I have never really exchanged emails w/ someone(a guy) that I didn't know w/ the exception of a person I met online that I met on a "computer help" type message board...this guy is a genius and has taught me so much since I bought my first computer.But I have just never been interested or took the time to lolly-gag w/ anyone on the net.Lack of extra time,maybe,not to mention the fact that since I've been to prison,I have met the most sweetest,honest looking people that have actually committed some of the scariest crimes you could imagine....so I can't help but be a little skiddish.I'm sure that there are so many ppl that would also be a little leary of someone,such as myself,that has spent time in the penetentiary...and that's okay,because even though my crime was a paper crime and didn't physically hurt anyone,it's only normal to cautius....cautus....darn,how do you spell that? Sounds like: CAW-SHUSS...??
But in the short time I have known this person,he has blown my mind.Since my car accident,it's been a struggle making ends meet.I did not mention that because I wanted sympathy or a handout or even a loan...I just tend to yakk about whatever comes to mind.And it seems like I have to rob Peter to pay Paul.lol
The next thing I know,I get an email that says that if I had an address that was not my own,or simply a place for me to recieve money that he would be happy to help.Of course,I never figured him to be a nut or anything,but it's always better to be safe and never reveal your address or personal info.I have a sister that gives her phone number and things out alot and that is her business,but there are some people out there that prey on innocent ppl and children and have nothing but harm on their mind,and that's pretty scarey,to me.But I don't get the feeling that this guy is that way,but I won't bet the farm on it.Not because he's said anything wierd,but I think it's okay to be on guard if you don't know someone personally.
Okay,so I give him an address where I do not live and he shocks me when he sent $100 the first time,then sent $500(Fed-X) shortly afterwards,and then as if THAT wasn't a total shocker!! He then sends $1,000 to me via Fed-X!! I almost fell out.I had so many mixed emotions,because at first I thought,geez! I can't accept this! Didn't take long too shake that thought off.ha ha.Of course I needed it and wanted to keep it,but what was he thinking he would get in return? So I emailed him and let him know how much I appreciated it,but what was I supposed to do? Pay him back soon,maybe? And his response was so awesome.He said that I did not have to pay him back,but that he realized that sometimes ppl need a little help,and that from what I have mentioned (he's talking about my rambling emails) ha ha,he said that there may have been a lack of ppl in my life that are kind to me.He just simply wanted to be helpful.
Now isn't that awesome?I do know that there are ppl that can see when a person is really really trying to do the right thing,and things just don't seem to come together as fast as we would like them to.I do know that with hard work and the determination that I have,things will always work out in the long run....but it sure is nice to know that someone cares and just wants to be of some help if they are able to do so.
Which reminds me... I am going to try and volunteer to work at the Nursing Home here in the town, where the Katrina victims are going to be coming to.I'm not sure if I will qualify yet because of my criminal history,but I am hoping that they will see past that and see who "I" am,and not the mistakes I've made in my past.An idle mind is the devils workshop....I don't think I have much time for my mind to be idle(lol),but the devil sure does set up his friggin workshop in my head sometimes anyways.Gotta stay busy busy busy so I can lose some butt butt butt.Speaking of butts....whoever invented Milky Way's and Snickers oughta be ashamed of themselves...don't they know how hard it is staying on a slimfast fruit diet with chocolate like that around?
Anyways...I may complain that bills sometimes run me crazy,but there are alot of people that have it waaayyyy worse than me...Daily Confirmation today will be: today I won't have self-pity for what I don't have....I can always wish (giggle)...but I won't .....I'll "TRY" not to complain :-}

he sounds too good to be true, if hes genuine then you have indeed found a good friend...
and only because you asked its spelt cautious...
and a chippy is like a takeaway food place to get fish and chips, with lots of mushy peas...yum
have a great day
*hugs*

He sounds great, not every man online is a creep. My sister married her online boyfriend. They have not long celebrated their first anniversary.
Hugs
wow, that's an amazing friend you have there..not many people will be willing to do that. All the best!
Thanks everyone for the positive input.So many ppl always try to take something so incredibly sweet and find some way to make it sound like he is (or wanting to do) something shady.And you never know,that could be the case in the long run....but all I know NOW,is that he has been a true angel,and I'm glad that ya'll are seeimg what I see.Thanks for the encouragement.
Ya know...I've also put myself in "HIS" shoes....b/c if I had the funds to reach out and help someone that I know is struggling,you better believe,I'd do it in a New York minute.I even wish I had Oprah's money.I'd go out and buy a really nice apartment bulding,or have one built that would house soooo many of the Hurricane Katrina,as some of those poor victims would rather starve than to break down and ask for a hand-out.Isn't that so sad?
cross stitch can be really relaxing, i like blackwork too, the best site i know is
www.leonconraddesigns.freeserve.co.uk
i love his work and blackwork can be so simple, i'm sure you can find magazines with free kits on the front to start off with too...
any advice let me know...
