Julie: I saw how you won that stone at your club meeting. I know you loved it and putting this up really shows what a great big heart you have. I have this Australian print stone rock and I will make you a cab, give me a little time to get my knee working again, but this really moved me that you did this for MJ. I will send you the rest of the rock to slice and tumble for yourself! Amber  |

Bejewel .... you and the rest here humble me ... but ...
I want this to be about MJ. Yes I love the zebra stone ... however I do not know if ever I was in his position I could be as graceful as him.
That is why I do this ... it gives me faith, more so in human nature to know that something as small as a very pretty stone can bring people together for the common good.
Too bad they won't let us .... RTHers run the United Nations. ;D I am sure we would find rocks for all walks of life to love instead of hating each other.
I would hope that if ever I needed help, I would have the courage to ask for help, let others know that I need help, and to accept help as beautifully as MichaelJohn does.
It's only a rock ... I know for certain there are many more beautiful rocks that will cross my path and they will pale in comparison to how much the previous little rocks could help someone.
My humble thanks, love, friendship, and BID AWAY KIDS!!!!!
As always
Julie

Julie, honestly, I wouldn't call my actions graceful or courageous. Simply put, it's a matter of absolute desparation. Asking for help is very embarassing, and makes me feel like crap. I'm a reasonably healthy, intelligent, ambitious man, so not being able to find work to support my very meager life is far beyond my comprehension. Before this year, I never asked for help from anyone ... no welfare, unemployment, workmans comp, disability, nothing. I went to work and paid my bills. I've never been rich, but I always did fine. Here I am now, with my bank account overdrawn like $110, my truck insurance due, and rent and storage payments due next week ... no clue how I'm gonna pay it all. Rock makes very little profit, I can't find a job, and I can't keep asking people to help me. So, if I come-off as graceful or courageous, it's purely in the text. The truth is that I'm scared, desparate, and at the end of the proverbial rope. I hope that doesn't ruin the image you have of me, but it's the truth.
Michael
