[QUOTE="paperplate, post: 580491, member: 15831"] Because I don't know who you are. But I have an idea who you may be...So here goes: Dear library ladies, Last week I came into the library, the same library I've gone to since I was a child. I was having trouble working the fax machine and was tearing up as I wearily hit the buttons, trying to send a request for SNAP to human services. One of you came over to help me. I told you how embarrassed I was to need to apply. The following night, another one of you called my house to say: you understood....everyone has a moment when they just want to breakdown.
