[quote:ArmedonLSD:MV8yMDk0OTM1XzM1MjgwNjQ2Xzk5RjhDNUYw] I'll keep my case nice and short since many on this thread are just as needy. I'm currently 28 and have worked full time most my life doing factory/assembly and warehouse work. Sadly most of the jobs I land are through temp agencies that use their employees for one year or two before layoffs happen. I was frustrated to the point of suicide after i lost my last job for Phillips electronics, making respiratory equipment. I have always worked hard grueling over not just long intensive shifts, but afterwards working a 2nd job on the weekend just to pay the bills, nothing else. Last year Layoffs again happened, so i fought with hopelessness and depression yet again. I was still young, I told myself it didn't have to be like this for the rest of my life. So i did what i thought I could never afford to do in hopes of creating some small hope in my future, I signed up for school. Trade school for low voltage technology. One year, 40 hours a week at the cost of 27,000 dollars. Not a large amount for some people but you also need to understand that I have little outside support. I have come to enjoy the FUCK out of school, and don't stop working even when class ends. I stay after or go to the library to learn everything i can about the theory, and currently have a 4.0 GPA with just three weeks left before i graduate and hopefully can become an apprentice. I am really focused on solar panel installation, and would like to get a job in that field not because it pays well ( which it doesn't compared to say a big company in fire alarm installation) but because when i die I would like to look back and say that maybe i did a little something for the planet as well as others. I want to die knowing I gave a little back to the world even if they can't see that. I want to die knowing at least I TRIED. With 333 dollars I wouldn't pay a bill, or rent, or use it for invasive surgery that would save my life. I would use it to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend. She has been with me for 8 years and we are madly in love. When people question why we aren't married we always answer that we are always too broke. I promise to you Trin, I would buy a ring in a heartbeat with that money and marry her the next week even if we had to do it a City Hall. She is the best thing to happen to my and deserves to be someones loving and faithful partner for eternity. It's time for the next chapter in my life after I graduate. For the first time in a long time I don't want the world to end, I don't want some dramatic revolution. I want a wife, that good job around the corner ( hopefully career), I want a family. Thanks for listening and God bless you all on GLP ( yes even you shills )!!! Merry Christmas GLP, I'm going to cuddle and watch a Gremlins with the only person I've ever truly loved like a goddess.

Original Message
I will give the next three gifts of $333.33. I have sent an email to Trinity informing him. I'd like to find out from Trinity and Brief who has been chosen so we don't duplicate.
I am not doing this for any reason other than I feel compelled to do so and there are more than 6 people who are in need...I sincerely want to help. Please accept this for what it is.
