Checked her profile, you must mean sell, not buy. I see only a couple of buys quite some time ago.

Not to defend this, because this type of auction is one of my pet peeves, but just to play devil's advocate - in the last month her auctions sold only totalled about $130 or so dollars, not much more. *IF* she had those big bills and problems she mentions, that's a drop in the bucket.

/end advocate

But these auctions do suck.

I seen that she had comments from buyers and sellers. Maybe I screwed up. Let me change the thread so it doesn't look like Rod did it.

If you don't put links to eBay inside of html tags they don't work. Not quite sure why. I fixed it.

This is why you don't teach your children to believe in imaginary beings in the first place...

Her kids have never been to Disneyland? Boo frickin hoo. Is that now a major life goal for people to reach so they don't grow up feeling something's missing?

Well, for some reason, alot of people like to brag if they have been to Disney World or something because it tells people that they spent alot of money, that THEY can afford to go. I, myself, can not afford to go, nor do I care. I have known some people to act suprised, here in Texas, if I say I have never been. It's there way of bragging I guess.

I can picture it now... "You're momma's so poor you'll NEVER meet Mickey!"

For some reason every once in a while the line of grey boxes doesn't come up (you know, the one right above the comments box). When it doesn't show up I have to put the whole link in cause I'm too stupid to write down the needed html codes.

But every time it's there, I use it.

There, I just wrote the href thingy down so now, all I have to do is not lose it. 😉

I really don't care for people trying to make money off their kids, thats pretty low. it is their responsibility to care for them. If it was really bad, she can just sell the computer she is using. Hell, I don't even have one at home.

She doesn't type or spell like a college student. Or an honors highschool student.
