Kong toys and a chewy for my dog

My dog sure does love his toys! He can rip through even the toughest heavy duty toy in a short amount of time. His Nylabone is just about gone and the extra large Kong ball I bought two weeks ago was just ripped in half. That nylon fabric squeaky toy that's supposed to take up to one ton of tugging? Yeah, my dog tore that open and pulled out all the stuffing in one afternoon.

I'd really like to keep my dog in toys at all times, but it's getting expensive to replace the stuff that he destroys so quickly. He doesn't necessarily *need* his toys, because he won't chew the furniture or destroy the house if he doesn't have them. But they make him so happy and keep him from getting bored when I'm busy or not at home. $40 would get my dog two new Kongs and a Nylabone.

This Wish Has Been Granted Net10 TopUpCard

I'm still struggling to get back on my feet after being off work for 2.5 yrs following a serious car accident. I'm back to work part-time and need a cell phone for my job. I have the cheapest plan I could find, which is Net-10, at 10c a minute. I am very conservative with my minutes, but just can't afford to buy a top-up card, which costs $60. I need this phone to communicate with the agency I contract with, as well as with my clients and their CPS caseworkers. This is a one-time need. My hours at work should be increasing soon. I recently got both Cervical and Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections, and I am hoping they enable me to be a little more productive. I would appreciate any help with this matter, and I do help others when I'm able. Thanks, Lisa

Gas money to continue transporting rescued animals

Gas money to continue transporting rescued animals

I love animals. I have devoted much of my life to rescuing any and all animals that I can. I currently am involved with transporting rescued animals. Ones that were on their last days at a shelter and due to be put down, find homes or rescue groups that may be states away. I volunteer on the weekends to make legs of the trips to help get these wonderful animals to their forever homes. Other times, shelters will find groups that take purebred animals and in placing these, more room is made possible for strays that would otherwise be put down right away.

It is starting to cause problems with me and my husband though. He doesn't mind that I want to help, but says that we don't have the money for me to keep doing this, with gas prices so high. It breaks my heart not to be able to help and so I thought maybe I could get some help with gas money, so he wouldn't be so mad and I could continue to help and feel like I'm actually making a difference!

This wish is for my wife. She is making some patchwork quilts(I think that is what she called them). Anyways she is going to make them all year long and take them to a local retirement home and donate them. I thought it would be cool if everyone who quilted could send her a quilt square to add to her quilts. And if you don't quilt maybe you could send her a little material to help her out. She can only make so many by herself but if you guys could help her a little she could make a lot more. Thanks for taking the time to read this. If anyone is interested in helping please pm me and I will give you an address.

Unique Wish - A paper GPS

Ok. so I am a park ranger and I am supposed to be able to:
a) find anything lost
b) have great navigational skills
c) always know where I am going

Well... HA! I do none of the above. I even flunked a GPS class using those kind that have all the buttons and things on them. Heck, I have to label my hands L & R, otherwise I have to tell people "no... I mean the OTHER right".

When I try to write down directions to someplace on a scrap sheet of paper, I always leave the paper ...... ummmm someplace???

Thus my dire NEED for this unique and wonderful paper GPS. I think it will help. That is, if I can remember where I put the pen I need to write in it. It's only $6.99 plus shipping.
Just hope I dont have to give directions as to where to deliver it.

here is the link

I too have been in dire straits due to serious illness and no insurance . In fact, eight years after the last event, I am still not able to get out from under that debt. I have been in the place where I could not afford my prescriptions, gas to put in the car to get to work, etc...

Now I have a young friend going through the same thing. Pauly has had medical issues to face since he was a child yet he has worked and done all he could to keep going. In nOvember of '07 he had a heart attack and is not not able to work for at least awhile longer. We have been able to raise money for his car payment for this month but he still owes back payments on that and his rent. You can make a Paypal donation to: musicmanschick@hotmail.com and the money will be gotten to him.

Groceries (non-perishable) 4 out of work mom with sick child

Groceries (non-perishable) 4 out of work mom with sick child

Hi everyone! This is dolphinlady5 9 (aka Carol) best gal pal to Ranger Jan. I'm making this wish for Kathy and Desiree (Jan's co-worker is Kathy & Desiree is her daughter with the brain tumor) to help them keep food in the house. Kathy has not been able to work since Thanksgiving of last year because she can not leave Desiree alone. Desiree's eyesight has deteriorated to the point that for all practical purposes I believe she would be considered legally blind. Kathy also unfortunately has no insurance to cover the mounting medical bills. Last week, she called Ranger Jan and while she did not ask for help with groceries, she did say that they were getting low on food. With Marta's help and Jan cleaning out her pantry and me buying some fresh meats, etc. we have been able to stock Kathy up for now, but that won't last very long! In another week or two she'll be in need of more food. If you can spare an extra can of soup, or beans or a box or rice or noodles, PM me and I'll send you an address of where to send it. As much as we both want to, neither Jan nor I can afford to support Kathy and Desiree. And Kathy is definitely a deserving lady! She always takes care of us up at the park! Thanks everyone in advance for anything you can do to help!

My wish is for PAULY HAS BEEN GRANTED ~ THANK YOU!

2nd try for this. all of my friends in the forums here said I should try again. I had a heart attack a little while ago. Still recovering, but I cannot goto work until I get a bit more used to things now. Then again, the docs say no heavy lifting anymore, so I do not know if I can keep my job. I have no medical insurance, but luckily the state paid for most of the hospital stay. After having to buy medications, and medication for being a diabetic, I have had no money for the past few bills. Missing work for this time hasn't helped.

I really could use the money for the past 2 months of rent and a late car payment. I hope someone could help here. I have no other place to turn.

Thank you for anyone who reads this.

I WISH for bird and dog items

Hello everyone. I am asking for a wish for myself and my faithful companion, Titus. Titus is an American Pit Bull (shhh, do not tell him, he thinks he is a cat, lol), he is the best dog I have ever had. He has been attacked by a Jack Russell and had his shoulder torn open, he had 20 stitches. The other dog suffered none. We do not have a lot of money to get him many toys and he loves to play. He is so sweet, he lays beside me when I am sick and is so gentle with me. He alerted my son the other day when my blood sugar dropped to low so I know he can sense some things. I think he deserves something. As for the bird items, I am not able to do much and like to sit and watch the birds, I really need more seed and feeders. I have made a wish list at Petsmart. Are there any hero's out there that can help. Thank you. (Sorry to say, the kitty in the picture has since went to kitty heaven, he was 18 years old and the boss of the dog)I am not asking for everything on the list.. you can also send me an egiftcard I can use only online at Petsmart.
