That picture is of a Cooper, not an S. I owe $40,000 in student loans, think I can get 40000 people to pony up $1 to help me out?

lame.

Check the photo album on her website. She already owns an MCC, acquired a year ago. But I guess it's not good enough and she really really needs a new MCSC (has she been reading NAM?). Keep those donations coming.

I seem to recall her posting on NAM more than a year ago, asking for money. That thread was locked and pulled.

There's an idiot born every day..

and she's found 1100+ of them! Ballsy, for sure. But who can blame her? If suckers will pay...... I'm just jelous that I didn't think up some scam like that...

The Dr Obnxs retirement fund collection.... "Want to help reduce stress in the world? Contribute one dollar to the Dr Obnxs fund each month for good karma and less stress." Do you think I have to mention that the stress reduced is mine?

I'll bet you she is one of those poeple you see on the sides of the off ramps asking for $$. They look real down and out until the end of the day when they get into thier NEW MINI Cabrio and drive off with all your $$.

Hey maybe I can start a halp fix my VTEC Classic fund.

I've got a fund you can donate too... I want to go on vacation this year to Costa Rica... Let's get this money train going!

I understand how hard it can be to obtain a MINI, but hardwork and waiting is the joy of getting a MINI.... It took me one year before I could PLACE and order... Good luck on your quest MINI Giggle...

Like a sucker, I sold my MCc and bought my current MCSc with my own money! Considering depreciation, it should cost her less than $6000 (not $29000) to upgrade to the MCSc, unless she really really needs two MINIs.

Hummm...I wonder if she ever heard of getting something call a JOB like the rest of us

The fact that people are stoopid enough to donated money to her amazes me. Hey wait, I have a piece of toast that kinda sorta has the profile of Elvis on it if you squint at it just right...ebay here I come...

If beggars can beg on the street...why can't beggars beg online too? Inventive, I say.

If only there were a way to FINE her

There hasn't has been nearly enough time since that unspeakable $#@*! at savekaryn.com weaseled out of her credit card debt and this waste of bandwidth begging for funds.

If working for a living is too hard she should get a job in marketing, like me. Oh wait...

I wrote her a note on this link here is her reply.

"
wow! they certainly are in an uproar... i've just registered so i can write a little note on there...


let me dispell some rumors...

i do NOT make $250,000 (no idea where the heck they found that tidbit)

at the time i posted that mini giggle fund, it was may of 2004. i did it as a joke on my website (since there was some chick out there who whined about being $60,000 in debt from credit cards and people sent her a dollar. rather than get angry and jealous about it, i posted this mini giggle thing on my gigglechick.com site to see if anyone would send a dollar - not for nothing, but, I have been writing my site for 6 years, i've got about 2500 readers per day, i've raised over $3000 for breast cancer by asking for a buck hither and tither as well.

some company sent me $1000 - yeah, i have no idea why either.

as far as the down payment thing, i took a loan to do the down payment and then took another loan to finance the car.

so, i am paying for my mini the "hard way" as well"
