So...I’m still having trouble asking people for money or help. I managed to overcome it when I gave the neighbor kid a couple of the X10 wireless cameras I had lying around so he would trim my lawn for me.

But the problem is that I might need to ask people for money every so often until we’re stable again. (Which shouldn’t be long BTW as we’re getting close to a start date for the 2 month+ call center position.) But I’m having a hell of a time doing it.

For instance I am in need of a good modern laptop to run Linux on so I can move my old ThinkPad R51 to run Windows. The new laptop needs to have 2gb of RAM, a fairly decent modern processor (C2D), and good screen size (15”+). Everything else I can work around. I’ve found a place selling Dell M90’s refurbished but the cost is $279 not counting shipping and I just can’t afford that yet. That laptop would last me likely several years before I’d have to do much of anything to it let alone upgrade.

There are several people I could ask but I can’t bear to ask them for it because either they’ve already been hit up by other people for money OR because I don’t have anything worthwhile to give them in exchange.
I could stand to win the lottery... )
