((( Ginger ))) A disaster like a fire is soo hard. It's not just the actual event . . it keeps going on and on. Even with your saddness and exhaustion, YOU are going on, too. I've been there, it's very hard. But, you are accepting warmth and strength from those who want to help . . and that's a wonderful thing. It works! I agree with Reader, no need to send a response, you've got so much on your plate . . Very happy to hear your're in another place. Having your place back will give you privacy to think and feel, and give you added strength to continue dealing with your loss . . sending healing thoughts to you . . .

I missed Ginger's call (something about danged deadlines and meetings), but will call her tonight. She did email me to let me know she figured out how to accept the deposits into her PayPal account, so if anyone had a not-yet-processed payment, you should soon have record of her picking it up. I'll keep ya posted, too! (Funny how she called... I was thinking I was gonna call her this weekend, just to touch base!)

I talked to Ginger last night, and she *is* feeling a bit overwhelmed! She has moved in to her apt with her roomie, and they are starting to set up house. They've received some items from a shower that friends of her roomie gave, and they both have beds and TVs. They are desperately in need of furniture (although they have a kitchen table) and are going shopping this weekend. They still need a LOT of stuff, so Ginger is gonna keep a list of stuff that she needs (as she remembers it), and will keep me posted. ZM and I are still planning on a shopping trip in three weeks. And I'd still like to do the TVCH Survivor Shower for her, as soon as we have an idea of what she really wants/needs. I was thinking that a couple of us could "host" a virtual shower. Rather than making Ginger do a trip to Target or someplace, we'd have a list of items she needs. Then y'all could email for the list, and email back what ya bought. The getting it to her I hadn't thought out yet... maybe everyone just sends things separately? Maybe we could do a virtual shower for her on a specific day, and then everyone can get their shower gifts to her by then? I know she's gonna need a LOT of stuff. I think they've got stuff like can openers and coffee pots. But I think stuff like utensils, dishes, glasses, cups, pots, pans, baking materials, mixers, linens, bath accessories, decorative items... there's a LOT I can think of that she may not have and may want/need. Anyways, let me know what y'all think of a virtual shower. And let me know if you want to be a co-host (er, hostess?).

Actually, if she registers ONLINE at, say Target or some other store, we could BUY it online and THEY would deliver it. Since she is buying stuff at Target anyway, it wouldn't take much more to register. She would just take the scanner thing and scan in items that she likes. That might be easier, or the same amount of work as compiling the specific list of what she wants. She doesn't cook a whole whale of a lot, but will need some kitchen gear. Cat stuff. Animal prints. She is one classy lady, and I would hate to get her anything "kitchy". She also might enjoy certificates for broadway shows, as that is something that she really likes. She had never done the TKTS line before Reiki and I took her through it, so TDF certificates might not be right. I'm still thinking about that. I'll help with whatever! I start getting really busy at work the end of the month through April. Ginger....get some good rest in that wonderful bed! And keep us posted once you get to a computer.

Good morning!!! I am in work and able to have some time to write a brief thank you to all the people here who have been so generous in their outpouring of love and support and kind donations. I am extremely overwhelmed and tell everybody about this. My office took a collection and I was given money, but while that is welcome and I am happy for it, the gifts I received from TVCH have meant so much to me. People are amazed that I have received help from people who I have never met - they just don't understand. They cannot realize the bond that the people in this community have. We have been brought together by a common interest - Reality TV and it has taken us so far from there. We are truly a family. I know that I need time to sit and write individually to all of you who have supported me through the first 2 weeks of this horror. It is still very rough for me, but I have a roof over my head and am rebuilding. Knowing that I have the support of people like all of you makes it so much easier. Okay, now I am sitting in work and crying like a fool, so I have to stop. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!

And you have me crying like an idiot in front of my supervisor! I am so glad that we could help! When something like this happens, you find out who your real friends are. What's amazing is that while I have considered many of you friends for years -- it's nice to know you all feel the same way. How do I know that??? Because when something like this happens, the outpouring of affection and support never ever ceases to amaze me! We truly are one big TVCH family. And family takes care of each other! So let us know what you need to get through this Ginger -- we are here for you!

I don't "know" most of you and don't "know" Ginger, but have beed reading these posts. I can't imagine having your home burn and lose everything. Thought everyone might be interested in this if you don't already know -- I got mass e-mail from Target this morning: Free shipping on top kitchen brands until February 10. Check out Target. Some might want to take advantage of that.

{{{{Ginger}}}} Just sending out my positive vibes to you! Also, you might want to remember to check Pay Pal again. I know a few people mentioned sending in a donation after your initial "pick up" from there. Should be more there....

I received yours Faery, thank you so much. Babyruth, I did not get the target gift card, so you might want to check to see if they billed you incorrectly. I received target gift cards from 2 people. I am trying to keep careful track so I can properly thank you all when I am normal (if I ever was) My cybermom Who - (HUGS and KISSES)- you are a very sweet woman

Unless it got dumped to my "junk mail" folder, I never recieved a "pick up" notice from Pay Pal. I've only used Pay Pal one other time, so I really don't know how it works. I just read others here saying they'd gotten a "pick up" notice, and assumed I'd get one too. Just want to make sure my donation went to the right person! {{{hugs & kisses back to my cyberkidlet}}}

I should be one of the target gift card people. Paypal keeps telling me I already have an account with them, but won't accept my password, so I can't use them.

Hi Ginger! I've been following this thread and thinking about you too. I did send a donation via PayPal and like the others, I didn't receive any type of confirmation from them. I'm not too concerned about the confirmation, I just want to make sure you received the donation I sent about 2 weeks ago. I'll be looking for my bank statement to make sure the transaction went through on my end. It's so good to see you posting once again. I also remember that you had tickets to go see Bette Midler...and to be honest, I don't remember if you actually got to go or if that was scheduled after your devastating news of the fire. The reason I remember is that you offered to call me when she sang "Winds Beneath My Wings"...LOL! Please continue to take your one day at a time and let the numbness slowly sink away... Take care Ginger.
