*Help!*
« on: May 27, 2005, 02:52:04 AM »
Edited for new plan.

We have a little situation.  Old One is going through a very messy divorce and needs some people to help move some stuff, probably on Monday.  None of this is set in stone, but I figured I'd ask if anyone in Provo (or who could be in Provo) is available.

Do you have a car?

I would like to help. You know that mornings are not my best time of day, but if you are desperate I can make it happen. I'm not a big or male, so I can't offer much help in the "intimidation factor" area.

If I'm going to get up then I should go to bed right now. I can, because my roommate left the room.

Whoa! When did this happen? Was this happening a few months ago when I was out there? I can't offer any tangible help from here. Is there anything else I can do?

I'm available Monday and have a car, if anyone else needs a ride.
I know where she lives, too, which is a bonus.

I'll be happy to help now that it is on Monday. Just let me know the time.

Very sad to hear it!

I'm not in the area...hope everyone works through, physically and emotionally...

Brenna, Fish, you know how to get ahold of me.  Drop me a line and let me know when and where, and if anyone needs a ride, please post.

Well, most of the stuff actually got moved by Old One's Mom today.  So unless anyone has a truck with which to move a washer and dryer...

Hmm, well my husband has gone off on another trip and left me alone this weekend, so let me know if you (collective or singular) need help with anything else.  Girly movies, comfort foods, drive by fishings, whatever.

Um, and there's probably not a proper way to say this, but I'm obviously wanting to hear more info on the situation in general, even if it's none of my business.  Just... you know... thought I'd put that out there.

No truck, just my little Honda Civic. I'll be happy to provide moral support, though.  :)

Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who offered to help.

Fuzzy, I'm perfectly willing to fill you in on details in a less-public forum. I'm sure you can make me laugh about it: you're good at seeing the humor in any situation.

No washer and dryer for me. BYU released it without the claim check. But I'm all for girly movies and chocolate and stuff. I just don't have a VCR. Or a car. Or a DVD player. Or my DVDs. Or my books.  Kristy is letting me borrow a little TV (it works and I hooked up the GameCube today. They're having fun being cruel to monkeys who run around in little balls), and I have a computer with Internet access.
All is not lost (yet).

Hey! I clearly remember you coming over one night and borrowing like six of my favorite books from my personal library. All is not lost, indeed, when you have such a prize! (I'm very protective of my books, and only lend them to people I like).  ;)
