There are good people in fandom and we stand by each other. I don't have much but, hey, you guys helped keep my temple's doors open. The least I can do is help out when one of us is really stuck.
On that note, I'm doing a stupa run.
( This is a stupa. )
Now the story with stupas is that any wish (that's well-intended) you make while circumambulating one will come true. I always forget what to wish for when I get there and fall back on generic ones.
Oddly enough, it makes me sympathize with those folks in the Genie stories. They're caught off guard! That's why they make such boneheaded wishes.
But this time I'm compiling a list. Sanj is in there. Anyone want to add anything? Can't hurt. Might help.
sanj needs a hand. She stands to lose her loan for next semester-- and her car-- if she can't settle her debts by the end of the month.
I know times are tough; every week I see another signal boost just like this cross my flist, and I hate that the generosity of friends is the only safety net we really have in the US these days.
But this community's generosity never fails to amaze and impress me. sanj has been persuaded to set up a PayPal link on her post. Please, click if you can.
