i'm copying this bit off a message board, because i'm too ass lazy to type it all again.

On a lighter note, I went to ROH in Chicago last night. I was the only chick in my section (not to mention the only chick besides my friend I came with) who cheered for Chris Hero. All the fatheaded losers around me were chanting "Fuck you Hero". I wanted to punch all of them and tell them they didn't know what good was.

I know this won't make you feel any better but this kind of shit happens to a lot of people. I once got an electric bill for over $600. Turned out they'd put me on some "once every 6 months" schedule and I didn't know it. Well, they wanted it all right then or they'd shut off the service. I didn't have that kind of money, so they agreed to set me up on some payment plan, but I had to go there in person everyy month and pay it like I was some kind of a criminal.
Since then, it's happened to me a few more times when I mail the bill a day or two late, and they send a disconnect notice, and I have to go pay it in person at a sleazy liquor store. I don't know what it is about electric companies that they have to stick it to people like that.
I've got you in my thoughts, and I hope things work out for you.

I know, my sister is currently living with my parents and her two kids and has been for well over a year. It makes me very reluctant to ask them for anything. When I turned 30 and everybody was knocking on my door I told my Dad that I always thought I'd have my shit together when I was in my 30s. They had their shit together then. My Dad shook his head and informed me that they were struggling just as bad then too. I had to give them kudos for pulling it off well because I never suspected. Not really.
Have you tried calling various churches? Even if places are only willing to donate $50 bucks, it all adds up in the end.
