I was invited to join a really cool roller derby group. If you know me, you know that this would be really great for me. I need to get out and be social which its been a long time since I have been. Two of my sisters are joining and I wanna join too. The cost for the skates and pads are the problem. It will be like $150.00 to get the equipment necessary. That includes the skates, elbow, knee, wrist pads, mouth piece and the fee to get started. I can't afford to get started but once you have the equipment your good to go. This is not only a great social oppurtunity but a wonderful outlet for the aggression I have since my divorce (December 7, 2009). It's also great exercise, its not what your thinking the stuff on tv. this is flat rink roller derby which is not all violent and stuff. Thanks for listening and please throw some stars my way. :) Oh btw I included a youtube video the first few mins show you how much fun it is and how its not like what your first idea of it is. (more)

My husband has Bi polar disorder and recently made the decision to go back on his Meds. However after 4 medications they still haven't been able to get the right one and he has to go back once again to try something else. Even though we have insurance all the Doctor and Presription co pays are killing us. Money is tight and my h is starting to say forget it because he can't afford to keep seeing the Doc and paying for medication changes. It took me over two years to get him to see he really needed to be back on medication and I don't want him to get discouraged and find excuses such as money to not go back to the Doctor until they get his meds right.
So my wish is for money for his next doctor and RX co pays.
Thanks for taking a peek at my wish! (more)

Not many know but in Aug.2009 I had cash stolen, license stolen, and my credit card stolen by some neighbor we figure who was arrested before fraud charges started appearing on my card. I got my new credit card back but the money and license was never found. Since I moved here I have lost money again two times and I have tore this place upside down looking for it. So if a neighbor comes in I watch my purse like a hawk!!! I keep my cash in one place and it is not there and I can not afford to lose any money..I still need someone to take me to get a copy of my dang license so I can order a pizza once in a while. I had some work checks cashed by old time friend and ordered a pizza for 10 bucks and later when a neighbor was over I said hand me my purse and only had 27 bucks in it and there should have been more than that... the picture too bad not a girl is how I feel like what the heck!!
Thanks for reading this.... (more)

I'm in the dangerous, secretive business of making and selling demonic babies on the black market. My clients are reluctant to purchase or barter for a baby because I don't have any way of providing them documentation to fool any social service investigators they might encounter. I need this printer to forge realistic adoption paperwork. It would also be awfully handy in printing shipping labels (it's okay, i put air holes in the boxes) and invoices.
I don't know the exact printer brand I am wishing for because the prices fluctuate (like on amazon) and I want to get the best deal possible. But, thanks to some advice from a fellow GoNer about ink pricing and quality, I will definitely be going with something from the Canon Pixma line. Right now $80 (the chip-in amount) would cover a Pixma all-in-one, but if I wind up just getting a printer, that's cool too. (more)

I've recently started working with wood building different items to sell to make money.
I put this in the needy category because it's a need and will benefit my family.
This is a nice set on Amazon that I would like to have. Keep in mind some of these bits run $35 to $50 a piece.
They are $99 plus shipping but my wish is for $50

This wish is for Brenda Archambault. Many of us have recieved a card or two from this sweet lady and we know she loves to send cards to let people know she's thinking of them or wishing them a happy birthday or just as a little pick me up.
I would love for all of us to send Brenda what she needs to keep sending out cards to her friends and loved ones. So i'm requesting everyone send her card and mail supplies - wether its a few postage stamps, leftover cards from holidays past, or whatever else you can think of that would help with her card giving as the holidays approach us.
I am wishing for $20.00 so Archambault can buy whatever else she may want or need. Please PM me or Heavenleigh for her mailing informatin. (more)

This is a post that Barbjon posted in the forums about a dirty braless barebutted old lady.
and asked me to put a thread up for her. where she works ,it is a private pay place. they take no medicare or any insurance. the people pay cash money per month . there is a little lady there who needs things because she doesn't have money to buy stuff. you all know ,things like shampoo, shower stuff , deodorant, this lady needs underwear and bras and stuff. she wanted me to ask if anyone could send even samples of shampoo deodorant,and things like that.this little lady wears a size 36 -B bra and size 8 undies. the bras can be used as long as the hooks on the back work. she said the little lady's bras are so bad that the hooks are hardly there anymore. and she said she would come on here tomorrow when she can and update. she said any help would be appreciated.
Lets help Mommykidd and Barbjon take the lady out for a shopping spree. Fifty bucks should buy some shampoo, soap, panties and at least a bra or two with careful shopping maybe a bit leftover for a hershey bar or two as well. If you can help let Mommykidd or Barbjon know as well in pms. (more)

I went through my drawer the other day & found that most of my socks are Sunday socks.
They are all holey! I have maybe ybe
2 or 3 pair that aren't holey, but they don't look that great either! I could use some unholey socks to perform my evil deeds in throughout the week. I absolutely hate having cold feet. Should you support my evility, I shall purchase unholey short & long socks, perhaps in a variety of colors & maybe even a couple of pairs of fuzzy, warm, around the house socks. Thanks for checking out my wish! Update: Someone(not sure if they wanted me to say who) sent me a pair of pink fuzzy socks & yellow slipper socks! Thank you! / Update #2: mom22 donated $5 towards the necessary foot coverage that will help me implement my evil plan! I adjusted the amount. Thank you! :} (more)

As most everyone knows, we really need to keep our car insurance current. We travel to several doctor/hospital's a month because of Tom's Cancer, COPD and other ailments. And for me too.
I am a bit short of the full payment to the insurance company, and they will not let me make payments, as it is already coming due, and would not be paid in full by the due date.
I can send the insurance information to anyone, if there is any questions about this.
I have $137.00 saved and need $288.00 yet. I really am trying to raise the money on my own.
I'm selling whatever I can.
Thank you for taking the time to read my wish. (more)

You heard me, I want chocolate PMS pills.
You see when I have my monthly cycle; I have become a total raging lunatic. My family has sworn that I become quite beastly. I grow fangs and slobber and seem to possess super human strength and growl a lot.
They thought at first I had been bitten by a werewolf but since silver had no effect on me, they continued their quest. They decided since this state lasts 4 days and does not necessarily coincide with the moon's cycle, then it had to be feminine related.
Last month they tried M&M's and decided that it soothed my beastly character. So they are pleading with you to keep a large supply handy. Help save my family from the beast with my own private supply of chocolate PMS pills.
(PS My husband said that he promises never to eat my supply of Chocolate PMS pills again as it made the beast angrier!)
This wish is for Woody’s Small wish contest. This is the link to WalMart for dark peanut M&M’s. [url][ link ] (more)

So... you guys know whats been going on with my budget lately. Somehow, this ends up happening every year right around my poor husbands birthday and he usually goes without a gift.
Now, I know and you know, that gifts aren't the most important thing in the world. However, this year, for my birthday, my husband went out of his way to get me the Sims 3 game that I kept whining that I wanted.
A little bit about Joey.....
Most of you know of him already. He works hard, extremely hard, lately not even coming home sometimes til 8 in the evening. He doesn't always use his best judgement in arguments, but then I get a period bag filled with chocolate. He always makes sure I have an energy drink on Saturday nights. He likes comic books and recently has become obsessed with physics and parallel universes. (Yeah, he is a dork).......
He always makes sure the girls and Evan have shoes that fit. He always makes sure I have shoes I need. Basically, he goes without to make sure we have shoes. He hasn't even had a new pair of shoes (unless you count his $10 Walmart specials this spring), unless they were work shoes, for a good couple of years. I'd really like to be able to get him a new pair of shoes, and pawn it off as a really late birthday gift.
Thanks for reading! (more)

We all know what online friends can mean to us... this is the story of a friend I met 3 yrs ago.... i hope this touches your heart like she has mine...
In or around June of 2006, I met a vibrant, loving young woman by the name of Emily. We were both pregnant and due in the month of March. We ran across one another on a pregnancy message board and both became a part of a group of women all due in March 2007. There were a good number of us there. Probably over 40, but as time passed, we thinned out to become a smaller but extremely close knit group of friends. We called ourselves cyber sisters, actually.
We were labor buddys. We gave each other shower gifts, Christmas gifts, birthday gifts.... We knew each other the way sisters do. We were there for each baby's first word, first steps, first teeth... We were more than "baby buddies". When one of us had a heart break, or family crisis we were there for one another no matter what... Which is why, even in death, we are here for our sister... taking care of her babies as best we can. These girls who are 1 and 2, are our family. They are nieces to us, just as if they were blood relatives. We as a group, are raising money to secure bonds for their future, to help take care of them in Emily's absence.
If you can find it in your heart during such hard financial times to do what you can for these babies, you would be doing such a wonderful thing.
