I know Debbie and Chuck- great folks, and her Dad, well... lets just say he is one of a kind and has been a great friend to me. I saw a couple posts stating it was not funny and "no class"- bad experience I'm sure, just understand it was all in jest- these are some of the finest people I have known. Thank you Debbie for sharing that with us- Its hard to believe your dad had hair!!!

I'm having a flashback! my dad did the exact same thing when I first introduced him to my ex-boyfriend... It was hilarious!

Thanks for making our day and posting our shotgun wedding photo! I was very surprised when I saw the post on Facebook and just could not believe it! I called my Husband to share the fun news!!!! I uploaded another photo to your FB page today after this post was done and it was taken on June 12, 2010 at our own Daughter's wedding with my Husband, (the groom in this photo above) holding the shotgun on our new son-n-law! Tradition has prevailed 30 years later!

Now, about the honeymoon we never had . . . !!
Thanks again for making our day!

Ellen,

I am usually not a begger or a person that asks for a hand out, but I am desperate. I am a divorced male from Amarillo Texas. I have had a real hard time financially for the past 3 years. The divorce really took alot (emotional, financially and physical) out of me. My financial status has caused me to have a medical condition with my skin from worries. I earn a reasonable pay as a xray tech. But with the last 3 years of dealing with divorce and me actually really starting all over again by myself at 44 years old. I have bills from my past that I am paying the minium on every month (well the ones that threaten me if I dont). The other bills I lay in bed thinking and worring when is the next call going to be and from whom? After I deposit my bi-weekly check from my place at work, I am already
-$650.00 in the whole. So, it is litterally pay check to pay check with no thrills. Most pay periods there is not enough left over for grocerys so I eat my meals at the hospital I work at, that way i can have it taken out of my payroll. Another thing since the divorce, it seems I am in this world all bymysef, even tho my son and daughter live in the same town as me. But the story behind that is. After the divorce my ex was gifted very well from her mother and step-father, that have had 2 gas well hit pretty good on their property. They also take care of the kids. I can't find a pot to pee in and they have a golden thrown. It really hurts not to be included in this finacial windfall, but it didnt happen to my family. So, therefore my kids migrate back to our home town as often as they can to collect their wealth why I sit in my pitty and nearly drown from my bills while working a pretty good job. A xray Tech. I think alot about my financial situation everynight before I go to bed, and one night I acually dreamed it. When I woke up my mind had let me when the lottery, a whopping $250,000. And then I woke up to the real truth, a nightmare. It would take a little less than $250,000 to get me out of debt but not much. I figure somewhere around $175.000 would get me 100% out of debt with about $15,000 left over to start a new beginning. God I pray and dream of that day. I am so tired and depressed from being so broke. Any ideas on how I can start getting out of debt would be greatly appreciated. If you do not have time to reply to this letter I understand why. I know you must get 100's of the types of letters everyday. This is my first and last letter I have wrote to anyone about my financial situation. I just see how you help so many desparate people out, that I thought I would bend your ear on this problem of mine to see if you had any ideas or help. Thank you so much for what you have done for so many people and countries, city's town's and country's.

God bless and keep up the reat work,
