Poor starving chickie could sell the I-Pod and one (or both) of the digital cameras, and any other extraneous stuff. Despite what some people think, you don't NEED an I-pod or most other electronic devices to live.

Yes, it's time for chickie to wake up, smell the coffee, take responsibility for her actions, and pay Uforgot back. And if that means selling stuff, so be it. Let this be one of Life's Lessons. Sometimes bad things happen that we have no control over, like being "down sized" out of a job (I have been, twice). But it's what we do with the circumstances, and making decent responsible choices, is what's important.

I better stop before I start sounding like an old phart, or worse, like my mother.
