just thought i would let you know i paid through paypal and it all went through (with help from costacat and lance).

i clicked on "services" for payment (was going to use quasi cash, just because it sounded right, but didn't thanks to lancecrossfire).

this was on Jan. 20. around 15 minutes later paypal e-mailed me and verified payment. then on Jan. 23 i received a payment received/pick up by ginger notice from paypal.

so, that just gives you and idea of how paypal worked for me (the timeline).

eta: i used a credit card for the payment.

Hi Ginger! So glad you are back at work. Like Faery I am crying too. TVCH is the most wonderful place. More support here than in real life sometimes. Definitely full of angels.
Take care Ginger

I haven't received a pick up notice from Pay Pal either. I wonder what generates the notice? I used quasi-cash option. I wonder if that matters?

FYI:

I sent mine in using the e-check option. That option take a few days to clear through your bank before the recipient can accept the payment. I received a notification that the funds were available and then one saying that the payment/order/process (forget how it worded) was complete.

Ginger: Let us know if there is anything specific that you need. I know I have some things that I can't replace here in town as they were bought when I lived in other places. If there is anything like that that you need, maybe we can track it down for you! :-) You know the drill. If you need ANYTHING, please don't be afraid to ask!

We love you bunches,

I am just checking in. The past few days have been pretty rotten. I think the reality of all this is finally hitting me. Everything just is going wrong. We ordered a sofa and when it came, they could not bring it up, it was too big to fit in the elevator or up the stairs. They broke somebody's window outside, trying to get it in the door. They had to take the sofa back and I had to go out and order another one and won't have it for 2 weeks.

I have no dressers to put my clothes in, so they are in bags all over the place.

That was just the beginning. Everything is just starting to get to me. Living with someone after being on my own for so long is a little irritating.

I am trying, I know I have to be patient, I am really trying, but everything I touch goes wrong.

I just need these few minutes to feel sorry for myself. I don't do it often, but it just all hit me.

Vent away, Ginger! Let all those frustrations out. We understand and support you!

Those portable drawers you can get at Target would be a good temporary dresser. In grad school, I moved from a mobile home with TONS of built in dressers to a house with no dresser. At least you can put your undies in these little drawers. You can use the drawers later for storage or for office supplies.

I wish I could get over there to help you shop.

I hear you about the roommate thing. Strong single women have to adjust to sharing living abodes.

Do you have a preference as to how we can help you? Do you want to make a list of things you need and we can send them to you OR did you want to "register" online and we can buy you stuff and the store can deliver it?

Hang in there kiddo.....and may next week be a better week!

Venting is so important. The roommate situation is the hardest. After being on your own for so long it is a big adjustment. Especially with the stress from everything else.

Hope you like the 2nd couch as well as the first one.

Ginger, you have every right to have those feelings. Vent here all you want.

This is one of the best places to do that, you know.

Ginger, I have a brand new, never out of the box, DVD player I would love to send you if you don't have one already. We bought it for a Christmas present for a friend who we found out just in timee they had gotten one from someone else. And we can't return it and we already have 3 so we don't need it and I'd love nothing more than to send it to you.

My pleasure, honey. Hubby is off work Wed. and Thur. so I will get it to the UPS store then. This FL girl doesn't drive when the roads are icy and hey....that's what husbands are for.

Cj, if you sent quasi-cash, you will not receive a pickup notice. It's an instant transfer from your account to hers.

Ginger, hon, don't forget to keep that list going for me. And, girl? Keep your chin up. Remember this is just a small (albeit very large seeming) bump. You'll soon get back into a regular routine, and will soon have a house that will start to feel like a home. And in almost no time at all you will be back in your REAL home, with new paint, and new floors!

Holler at me if you need anything! Love you!

Ok, an update. So far there are no dead bodies LOL. We have bad days and not so bad days. This too shall pass, I will live through this.
But, on the homefront, My bedroom furniture is coming today, so I can finally put some clothes in drawers, and not in plastic bags. We ordered a living room chair which came this morning. We get a couch next week. Can fold up those beach chairs. The insurance company's dry cleaners that took all our clothes is delivering them all today. We are not sure what we can salvage out of them. They were pretty wet and smoke damaged, so we have to go through everything and see what we can keep and what has to be discarded. Hopefully I can keep even half my stuff.
Costa, I am going to give you a list before next week, I promise.
I love you all, and one day I hope to be able to give back to all of you or anyone here who needs me - in any way.

Ginger, just knowing that you are ok and that you are still hanging in there is all any of us need. That is what a friend does for another friend. You have already given so much to us here by allowing us to be a part of your life!!

Hey Ginger! I need to touch base with ZM, but as far as I know, we're still on for a shopping trip for you. Glad you're finally gonna get your furniture set up and some of your clothes back. It should start feeling more like home once you stop living outta black plastic bags! <smooch!>

Ginger: I am so happy to hear from you. I think we all know it's going to be a long process for you to get through this. Of course, you know we are all here for you (to vent, get crazy...do anything you need to do!).

I'll ditto everything everyone said...

The best way you can repay us all is to just be happy. You have been through so much. And right now your life is a bit like a roller coaster. Believe it or not... you are helping all of us by allowing us to help you. :-)

We love you! Take care and super big hugs!
