Ahh. That's better. Good afternoon Cloudy, Bilqis and LadyZ!

Hmmm, well, that explains why it seemed rather ummm, large, for someone who was only five feet tall...I thought something was off, but I didn't want to be rude!! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gifhttp://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...smiles/485.gif

**She makes her way to a corner table and flops down, trying to change her attitude.**

KDog you sweet scoundrel, thank you for the drink. I need it more than I can say.

LadyZ: I can wait. That's ok. Heavens, it's not like you don't have other things to do! Plus it'll give me something to look forward to. Are you all packed & ready to move?

Bili - no problem, I could sense that you were in need. Charean must be rubbing off on me... Can I offer you anything else? An ear to bend, a partner for a dance, anything like that? I would love to help in anyway that I can. I believe that the lovelay Lady Reeka currently has dibs on me for a dance, but I would be honored to swing you about the floor and make you feel as a young hearted maiden again after that. Can you stay for a bit?

Reeka - Lovely Lady Reeka!! I believe we may just get that dance yet!!

Bilqis: How goes it sister? Thanks for noticing the new sig. This is the real me. Took me awhile to find and several people to help get it going. But I like it, it is what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I'm not on-line at home and have beem off work this week. I have gone by the office twice, right now I'm at the library. I've missed everyone terribly. It's beenlike being cut off from family (no actually not--I don't like my family)

Oh yes. I intend to be here for awhile. So much reading to do!! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...s/biglaugh.gif And this place is very pleasant after today.

I do have one question you could all help me with perhaps? Honest opinions please. Many of my volunteers are very poor, and the stipend they receive from us really helps. Well, one of them came in today and asked me to front her $150. She would give me a post-dated check, but she needs to pay her rent.
There is no way our program can pay her in advance. (her check will arrive around the 20th of April). We have been instructed to say NO when someone comes in asking.
We called all the social service agencies today to see if they could help, and they can't.
She needs it. I've worked with her for 2 years now and know her situation well. She's never asked me before. I'm heartsick.
Kindness says yes.... practicality and cynicism and the RULES say no.
What do I do?

You deserved much better. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif On that note my friend, let us have some good ol' FUN!! Somebody needs to liven up this farewell party!!!

Hey, I'll take a dance with any of these lovely ladies! Not a one of them could ever be forgotten *Now Kdog rolls his eyes as he knows what's coming*. To do so would be like forgetting to breath.

No, it would be like forgetting to breath the sweet air of the blossoms of the flowers in the spring, as that is what being in the presence of these fair and beautiful ladies is like.

The DIPS KDog are rather breathtaking! I've been meaning to ask you about the other night in the inn when BK walked in on you and Charean. Don't the doors have locks on them?

Actually, my fear is I'll be opening a door that I won't be able to shut again. And she's not at risk of eviction, which is why Social Services won't help her. But she does need the money. And I like her. And I believe in giving people a hand up when they need it.
SEE???? I'm so torn. Someone tell me what to do! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/conf.gif

My dear, dancing with you is like dancing on air, for you are as light to me as the very breaths you take..
Err, well, yes, ummm, that is a bit embarrassing. The best way to describe it would be to say that we became 'empassioned' and worldly things, such as locking doors, removing covers, indeed http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/FRblush.gif making it past the door, became lesser concerns to us!!


LadyZekke - Don't you worry, we're gonna party tonight!!!

Oh, God, Bilqis. That's like a question for Solomon. And I'm the wrong person to ask. I'm a real soft touch and constantly bend and break rules when anyone plays on my sympathy (and then pray and no one finds out). Could someone (I'm not suggesting you mind you) make her a personal loan until she gets her check. I would be a little skeptical of something like this but since you've known her a long time it seems like you think she is trustworthy. I do little things for the students all the time (little favors). I guess I'm too big hearted. Good luck on this one, Bilqis. I'm glad I'm not in that position today.

Best,
Reeka

That's a tough one Bili. You could personally lend her the money if you have it, but there is always the risk she will ask for money again in the future. If you don't have the money to lend her, then just tell her there is nothing you can do in a very nice way, showing her you feel for her. As you said, she is not at risk of eviction. Maybe she'll be able to find another way to pay her rent.
As I said, tough one!

Thanks Reeka. I'm glad you understand. I'm too tired to decide now anyway. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/frown.gif

**bilqis drops her head into her hands and closes her eyes.**
I'm sorry... I don't mean to bring you all down.

I am a fair bit tired and as BK is off fighting evil somewhere, and my archnemesis appears to have run off , I have nothing to occupy my time. I shall be here for a bit but must needs attend ot rl things anon.

Fear not, fair lady! My feet will never get tired of dancing, when I am floating on the beauty that has filled this room. I shall take you up on that shortly.
