We all make mistakes...

....but some just make you more sick than others....Here is the letter that I have now out of pure absurdity have sent to everyone that I can think of...From Oprah to Jay Leno!

Hello:

My name is Diane Barden and I am a 44 year old woman from Greenville, SC. I have a terrible dilemma and need help. I won tickets to the July 6 Rod Stewart concert at the in Charlotte, NC. I was so excited to have won them, because I knew exactly what I would do. My best friend from high school and I have been Rod Stewart fans the '70's. We always played 'Our Man Rod' music. We graduated and took different directions. She remained in NC and survived an abusive marriage and two kids. I moved to FL. I married a man, put him through 2 degrees. For several years my friend and I would get together on birthdays to do something special, once to see Rod. My friend has divorced and remarried and now at 44, & the mother of a two year old. I have 2 grown children that I am helping through college so my finances are limited. As of September, my husband was suddenly terminated. The point of this letter and my dilemma is: In is that when I won the tickets and they came in the mail this week. I opened my mail with great excitement I called my friend, whom again, I've not seen in over 2 years. I asked her if we could meet in Charlotte for the concert. She called me tonite to confirm babysitter arrangements and to 'make it a date.' I went to retrieve my tickets realizing the envelope and tickets were tossed in the trash with in error. I have searched my house in hopes that they missed the can, but I am realizing that has not happened. I understand it is a ridiculous request to ask for help replacing my tickets, but they would be the most appreciated tickets you could ever send out. So, my plea to you is if there is any way, could you find a way somehow to help my friend and I get tickets? I cannot tell you how much this would mean. Please let me know if there is any way that you can help.

Sincerely and with great appreciation,

Diane Barden

Well, there you have it...I don't know why ANY of the people I sent it to would respond...but who knows...Maybe it'll be like the 'Door to Door Witnessing or Vaccum cleaner sales'...Hit enough people and someone eventually bites.
