Hi everyone, I haven't been reading this list for a while, just too much going on right now in my life. As some of you know, my Father was very ill for months and just recently passed away on June 25th. I took it pretty hard, even though he had been sick for a long while, I was in denial and thought he would get better. Now there are other things going on also. The drawing for the slot machine was re-scheduled due to all of this. I did not raise the amount that was paid for the stupid thing and I had so hoped I would raise more than that because I was going to give 3 shelters $50 each. I did not want to let them down. I thought it would do better than it did. I will be holding the drawing in the next couple of weeks, maybe even this week-end. I don't plan to draw the winner, it's going to be done at a business here in town. I'm going to find out when will be good for them. I have also been sort of harassed by someone who claims they bought 2 tickets, the name is d.Eckert@aol , I don't know who they are, but they are very upset that the drawing was delayed and they have threatened to call the state of Florida. I would think people have better things to do over $2. They think it is a scam. If the drawing had been done when originally planned it would have been right in the middle of my dad's slow death. I wasn't leaving the house and going anywhere but to the hospital and my Moms. I still don't go anywhere now since his death. I asked this person to please have some respect and let me finish my grieving, nope, they are being nasty and persistent. I'm about the most honest person anyone could meet. I'm sometimes too honest for my own good. If anyone has any questions, please email me and I will be happy to answer any questions. Hug those fuzzies for me Sue & the fuzzies [Posted in FML issue 3498]
