    That's so amazing that you got to hang out with them! Wow, I am insanely jealous! I would give my right arm to have a cup of tea with those 3! Lol!
    So @shadylane what are you going to do with all the money!?

    It was quite a day, ending in the most bizarre weather I have ever seen!

    The prize we presented @shadylane with consisted of a grant for school, a computer, toys, clothes and a bed for her daughter, grocery money and more. :)

    I prefer not to think before speaking. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of my mouth.

    Ohmygosh! I'm sooo frickin... Idk the words... I'm crying! I know how bad you needed this! You stay strong woman! I'm so frickin moved! I mean I knew someone wpuld be chosen obviously and I knew they would be deserving but I'm so glad they chose you! I hope this helps you to start anew and sho you that you're not exiled from society, as you said. But that you can come back a better person and be an inspiration for others! (not that ur not now, bc u have been an incredible inspiration to me!). You know my struggles and you share in them bc you know. And you still stay positive for yourself and others.

    I'm so proud to be a part of this community and so proud of you, Shady!

    Thanks so much everyone and those that nominated me, this well help so much and the best part was getting to meet them. But they're saying we could be out of power for days and all the stores are shut down so I can't even go get my groceries and stuff! Or play with my laptop or anything! I can't go get J cause I don't have any food! Boo

    @PurpleFlowers I wasn't planning on it. I'm not sure I'd want to know, in that position. (At least, that was my thinking.)
