Kristy, I'm sorry but your posts following the questions posed to you about this entire situtation makes it seem like you're grateful for the help you've received, but also rude and spiteful torwards any questions or skepticism.

YT members are very giving. I have often seen that first hand. Even to people who are not asking for financial help. You may not have started posting your troubles, expecting a handout. But historical patterns of giving on YT must have given you some idea that you'll get some help even if you don't ask for it outright and directly. It is the loving nature of the many YT members. They are always there to help out another in the event of an emergency.

But having a crisis once in a blue moon, is an "emergency". Having a crisis every few months turns it into a problem, a pattern of neglect or irresponsibility. You have exhausted your network of personal family and friends able to help bail you out of situtations. You've come onto YT more than once and more than once YT members have helped you out financially. To me, it's starting to sound like a pattern, not a one time "emergency". I'm sorry if patterns results in skepticism on my part, but it does.

And really, you should get your priorities straight. That means rent before christmas presents, a steady job before what to do for nye or hubby's bday. Your energies right now should be put towards finding yourself a steady paying J-O-B. As I said in my post, 2 full time jobs paying minimum wage would cover your housepayments, insurance, taxes, food for the kids, and then some. Instead of spending time on YT, figuring out what to do for your husband's birthday, your priorities should be on finding employment with a steady income so that you can meet your financial obligations. You're an adult and a mother. You should start acting like one rather than a teenager who spitefully responds with a "FINE! be that way!" and attitude to match.

My parents were blue collar workers who raised 3 children with 2 full time jobs and 3 part time jobs between the both of them. I never knew a human being can work that much. I didn't know what day my parents birthdays were until I was nearly in jr high because they never celebrated it. They prioritized dinner on the table over a cake for themselves. I later found out they gave each other a card for their birthdays and the birthday person got to sleep in on their birthday weekend while the other took the kids out solo. That was their gift to each other. I'm not saying that's how you should prioritize. But I'm just illustrating how some people, like my parents have. And I love them for their sacrifices and self reliance.

I'm all for "Paying It Forward" but I don't want to wind up like "Matchstick Men" either. Personally, I work hard for my money. I give to causes to make myself feel good about making a postive impact on society, but I prefer to give to individuals who are truly victims of unforseen circumstances and not victims of their own irresponsibility.

Okay, so it took a little more than 10 mins. Admin is free to edit or delete my 2 cents as it is deemed appropriate. I just wanted to voice this opinion for myself, even if no one else cares for it.

If you are older than 40, you probably have seen a lot of unfortunate situations.....

I believe enough is enough.....no one is perfect.

Move on .......

Maybe it is time to move on. I am one of the people Kristy owes money to, over $100 for things I ordered in Oct. and Nov. that I never received. She said she is going to put the money in my PayPal acct on Jan.3, 2006. I have every confidence she will. The tone of this post seems to make the people who want their refunds or merchandise out to be bad guy. You might try looking at it from the perspective of the people whose money she's received and kept and they've gotten nothing. Stop and think, what would you call that if it happened to you?

the order from october was totally overlooked there. she was as confused as I was so.... the second one i sent them but sent them first class mial...no delivery confirnm nothing. Even a really good seller on here learned that the hard way! again theres only 3 ppl that has come forward. I took care of them all EXCEPT CPG which she will get a refund on January 3, 2007. my problem is i HAD NO FILING System. my filing system consited of a piece odf paper with writing on it and i did lose a few. no dounbt but in the end not only did they get the order they got EXTRAS also for the problems. Im trying to start freash for the new year and im trying to make this up to those that havent recvieved them..i would also like to say there a a couple ppl on here with very unrealistic expectations. cant order it one day and have it the next. I understand some things were overlooked on my part. IM TREYING TO FIX IT! I DONT KNOW WHAT Else TO DO!!

I too have purchased fro Kristy. A sewing machine. Some may remember. I was VERY excited because I wanted to make my mom something special for xmas and she's been having health issues..(another story)

So anyways....I waited and waited but no machine. So I PM'ed and posted. I did finally get my machine. It was too late to make my mom something....(I did end up making her a large No Sew tye Blanket...She Cried!!!!)

But I did get it, but I was dissappointed in how long it took. Here is the Thread. I paid for it the day she advertised it and I posted on the day I recieved it http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58146

But I did get it.....Now I need to figure out how to use the darn thing!!! LOL

i know some of you may think kristi doesnt have her "priorites" in order but i can sympathize with her. for example about the holiday gifts and the b-day gifts i will sometimes but off a bill that i know i can just pay next month and go ahead and get that gift and feel so good for doing something nice and then POOF Somthing happens and now i have dug a hole for my self and i have a bill that i cant pay and have to find a way to make it work, so we should never assume we now some ones lfe and life styles, especially when all we do is chat online, where all you know is what is posted. and we should never bad mouth someone because you dont know how much info you really have, by going thru post and getting parts of the converstations. i think if someone had a problem w/ krisiti they have or will contact her with out notifying 1000's of people on here that she made a mistake. how many people have never made a mistake? let them be the ones to "post stones"..lol

i think krisit is a good person whom i have spoken too several times and she has just had a rough year and when that happens your brain is just confused and you may do something wrong or forget something. when i stress im like a bomb messing everything up...so please dont assume you know her or anyone because a smart teacher once told me assume means making an ass out of you and me and i beleive that whole heartly i also dont think she meant to come out gruff to some people for asking questions but lots of people handle stress differently and can be come defensive towards questions and remarks. maybe she did make some bad decisions last year and someone may have it a senstive place but in sure that she is working hard to correct these chapters in her life and maybe she didnt know how to response to the kindness of others and the questions from others..i know my head would be realling from something like that

but i do think it was awesome the over all coming together of a "yorkie communtity" had me in awe. there are alot of wonderful people out there still, and we dont get to meet people like that every day and i am grateful to be in a group with people like that..

GOD BLESS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.. i have a kitchen to clean..lol

[Lexi Rae]

very nice, i feel the same..............
