From: FlBalloon@aol.com Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 14:33:00 EST Subject: Re: Hyatt Pricing To: WynnLindyB@aol.com, balloondeco@fooledya.com I just wish there was some other way, to try to get there, maybe some type of program, scholarships, etc. There 's people that think it is soo easy to pick up and go, even if i plan ahead of time, who is going to stay with my kids, when no one can? How do you abandon 3 kids, 2 with disabilities, and every penny that i have earned, believe me, i invest in my Balloon education. How else would i learn? It's not easy being a seperated mom of three and NO ONE to count on. I decided to get into this business because it was something i could do from home, my youngest was born at 6 months weighing 1 pound 1/2 and it's been therapy every single day for the last 3 years. So i guess i do get upset when people say that if "you" really care about your business you will go. (This is not towards YOU personally, just a saying, but )NEVER tell people what they can do, unless you've been in their shoes or you're willing to help them out. I want to go to IBAC, i want to meet all the pros out there, i want to become an inspiration to my children , i want to give them everything they need, so that the government doesn't support me and then there's another issue, (which is for a Rickie Lake show, LOLOL) i DON'T receive SSI , child support nor AFDC, so i live from this balloon business , and i'm very proud of what i've done so far. So please don't be so harsh on us, specially when you dont' know our situation. Sincerely, Shari
