6. She can get help from her church
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 04:22 PM by Bushneedstogo
If she came on to my SO I wouldn't put a boot in her butt. Tell her to call the electric company and ask them to give her the number to public aid or some place like that.

Run an extension cord to your apartment until she gets help and tell her to stay away from your SO in the future or else.

12. I don't want to sound mean
Before AC's were invented people got by without them :evilgrin:

I have been burned before and that's why I generally hang out with men.

11. oh, i would help her out and show her what true compassion
is, its not just words whipped out when its the easy thing, its neighbor helping neighbor esp when its the hard thing to do

and make sure to tell her youre a part of the big tent, people helping, compassionate liberal, democratic party!
though i have a feeling she already knows this!

best wishes to you and to her family
