    It's a Wonderful Life

    Just finished watching the classic movie "It's a Wonderful Life". I get teary eyed every year from watching it, but the last three years it has come to mean a lot more to me and LOML.

    You see it was just over three years ago that I was fired from a job. I was unemployed from July through October and even upon finding work I couldn't pay my mortgage. Then one evening I was on the computer and happened to see an email from paypal saying I had received some money. Then I found a dozen more. $10 from one, $20 from another, It added up and up. And they kept coming.

    It was from friends. From an extended family. Most of whom I'll likely never even lay eyes on, but you came to our aid at a time of great need. You made a very real difference in our lives.

    That Christmas I was George Bailey, and you were the Bedford Falls community. I still can't thank you guys enough.

    Thank you all again.

    If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

    I watched that movie too. I too was thinking of BT3Central and all the folks the community has helped. Great minds eh?

    The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

      I was thinking that this is the best place around to be a member of. All the things this place does for people and all the advice that we get around here is great. I think that I am going to trade in my "real" family for this one, lots less drama around here that is for sure.
