My dear Herr Partrick Egobia, I am so sure that things will get better for you. We here at Lit-Ideas will conduct an educational and literary and enjoyable forum on your behalf. We will also begin a fund drive to collect what you need more than anything else. What does one need more than books, ideas, and scholarly journals? Nothing! So, rather than send you financial assistance (of which there is plenty to be had if you only ask the USAID to forgive you for being German and let you have one of their numerous pieces of aid), I have decided that, at the least, I will immediately ship to you a wide collection of my most coveted poetry and philosophy books. In case you need further inspiration, I enclose some of my most favorite children's books as well as a fine collection of self-help books. The rest of the Lit-Ideas world shall, I am certain, be forthcoming in the same way! In addition, I will send you a care package of cookies and candies. It is always a grander experience if one is able to munch on something while reading and pondering the ways and thoughts of Wise Ones. So, welcome to our community! I am sure you will be enriched in other ways besides that filthy manner which was besmirching your character simply by mentioning it! Most sincerely, Marlena in Missouri, unofficial ambassador #345 of Lit-Ideas ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
