I'm not saying everyone in this thread was jumping on her, but reading through this whole thread, there are so many snippy, borderline accusing post in this thread that I can't believe is being forwarded to someone who just wanted to vent her frustrations. If I were her and pouring my troubles on to this forum, I would frankly be shock and greatly displease by this reaction.
Keep in mind that when someone post a thread about their life situation and needing help, they themselves already considered many alternatives. When someone suggested selling the Ipod, they had no idea that she was already planning to sell it on Craigslist. She corrected that and said that she was, and yet people continue to bring it up. She gives reasons why certain things can't be sold, yet people jump on her and say she isn't doing enough for her situation. We aren't there with her. We don't know all the things she is doing for herself. All we can do is to be an ear for her troubles and give out advice, not analyze every single reason she gives and scoff that reason off as not good enough. Come on.
