[QUOTE="Star*, post: 145928, member: 4964"] Thanks nvts - I have always figured that any money you find is angel money. I was married and Dude was just born. I think he was maybe 6 weeks old. I got pneumonia like I did every year back then. I had just enough gas to make it to the doctor, I had just enough money in my hands to pay my part for the appointment., I thought maybe I could get some samples of whatever drug he would give - to cure me. I left the doctors office with a prescription for a generic antibiotic that if I did not take - I would be more sick within hours. I cried - we had no money - my x was an addict and since Dude was born I had not gone back to work. My x left us with basically nothing all the time. I had to buy formula now for Dude - because he couldnt nurse with me being on antibiotics I could not afford. I had no idea what I was going to do. I pulled over at a convenience store to use the phone (we didn't have one) and I was going to call my Mom collect to see if she could help. As I stood at the phone trying to call her - I looked down and there was a $10.00 bill. I picked it up, and went after the man who used the phone before me - he was honest and said "It's not mine - I guess it's your lucky day." And that was enough to buy my prescription. But the formula? I got home and there were coupons in the mail for free cans of baby formula - Now when I loose money - it doesn't make me so angry - I know that somewhere someone found my lost paper money and it is THEIR "angel" money. And I'll never get to know that I was someones angel - But it's a lot easier to look at it that way than to be angry at myself for loosing paper money. [/QUOTE]
