July 11, 2008 at 16:43LillyAnn's daughter says: my Mom's friends and clients are trying to raise money to get her into dialysis before August 1st.
July 11, 2008 at 16:44LillyAnnMom is uninsured and is two weeks behind in treatments. paypal to my_pathways@yahoo.com if anyone can help us, or just pass this plurk along

July 12, 2008 at 04:24MissAttitudei would help too
July 12, 2008 at 04:26talespinnerexcept Gabrielle might be too young to set up a PayPal acct, if LilyAnn doesn't have one already
July 12, 2008 at 04:26talespinnerbut it also takes time to transfer from PayPal to a bank acct, so we need to do something fast
July 12, 2008 at 04:26greytfriendsaysplease, it would really be doing us, or at least me, a favor to have a way to help. If we each chipped in just a little...
July 12, 2008 at 04:36MissAttitudeyep, wait till tomorrow

July 13, 2008 at 19:10ConnieIf more money is needed, one of LillyAnn's friends should start a Chipin.com widget. (would go to her paypal acct.) I would plurk the link.
July 13, 2008 at 23:21LillyAnn's
daughter updates: There were serious complications today that caused a
transfusion to be necessary and she will need emergency surgery
July 13, 2008 at 23:21LillyAnn's daughter says for the kidney infection
July 13, 2008 at 23:21LillyAnn's daughter says: I just came home really quick to update everyone
July 13, 2008 at 23:22LillyAnn--thank you so much connie for your suggestion, I've done that really quick too but I don't have a website
July 13, 2008 at 23:23LillyAnn's daughter says: And am not allowed on Social Networks, really .. not supposed to be here!
July 13, 2008 at 23:24ConnieGabrielle, you don't have to have a website. And someone here that's a friend of your mom's can do it for you.
July 13, 2008 at 23:24LillyAnn's thinks her Mom's gonna kill her when she wakes up from this .. :/
July 13, 2008 at 23:24ConnieOh,
you've already set up the page. Good. We will all help spread the word.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for updating here.
July 13, 2008 at 23:25LillyAnn's daughter says " Thank you for your help Connie!

July 13, 2008 at 23:27talespinnersaysbut doesn't she know? You said she had dialysis already, right? Wouldn't she wonder where the money came from?
July 13, 2008 at 23:30LillyAnn's daughter says to talespinner she has not been conscious for most of this time
July 13, 2008 at 23:30LillyAnn's daughter says due to the fever
July 13, 2008 at 23:33LillyAnn's I am home schooled though and know about Plurk from watching my Mom have fun here
July 13, 2008 at 23:34LillyAnn's daughter says: she is the one that originally told me to tell you guys she was sick so nobody worried
July 13, 2008 at 23:38LillyAnn's daughter thinks: So I'm thinking that I can't be in too much trouble ...
July 13, 2008 at 23:40talespinnersaysi'm sure you're not. LilyAnn would understand extenuating circumstances
July 13, 2008 at 23:41talespinnersaysHere's
one thing I learned when younger: It's easier to beg forgiveness than
get permission. But in this case, you did the right thing
July 13, 2008 at 23:42ConnieGabrielle, could you give someone here access to the ChipIn page so they can add some info about your mom and her situation?
July 13, 2008 at 23:43ConnieI
don't really know her so don't feel comfortable doing it. Adding a
picture, etc. will help people understand the need & who they're
helpng
July 13, 2008 at 23:47Rev. Godfatherbut
there's a hospital here where i live that will help her for either free
or a small ammount cause it's part of a medical college
July 13, 2008 at 23:47Rev. Godfatherjust don't know how her body would handle the flight if they were to go that route
July 13, 2008 at 23:47LillyAnn's daughter says to connie OK I will try doing it
July 13, 2008 at 23:56LillyAnn's daughter says: I think that I see how it's done and will do that a bit later when I return from my last visit
July 13, 2008 at 23:57LillyAnn's daughter shares a with everyone
July 13, 2008 at 23:59Rev. Godfather Gabrielle, give me a call later, your mom should have my number written down there somewhere
July 14, 2008 at 00:05LillyAnn's daughter says to godfather I'm sorry I cannot call people from the Internet, I'm not allowed to
July 14, 2008 at 00:06LillyAnn's daughter says I hope you understand
July 14, 2008 at 00:13NancyNallysaysI've been out of town and just saw this...hoping for good news about LillyAnn soon! Thanks for the updates Gabrielle.
July 14, 2008 at 00:16LillyAnn's daughter says to Connie, I think that I fixed the page now, I hope that is OK
July 14, 2008 at 00:22Rev. Godfatherit's
ok, i'll either call later for sure or i'll just post my email address
so you can email me a full update if that will be better for you
July 14, 2008 at 00:27LillyAnn's daughter says godfather OK but nobody is at home my brother's stay with her 24/7
July 14, 2008 at 00:27LillyAnn--- and I stay with my dad who lives near the hospital
July 14, 2008 at 00:29LillyAnn's daughter says I'm just coming by to keep the seahorses alright and fed
July 14, 2008 at 00:32LillyAnn's dater says: Ooops I'm sorry the url changed when I edited that page sorryugh
July 14, 2008 at 01:38LillyAnn's daughter is going to work to pick up her schedule, but I will be back
July 14, 2008 at 01:48greytfriendhaschipped
a donation to get things rolling. Please keep us posted when you can
and don't worry about getting in trouble. It's more important
July 14, 2008 at 01:49greytfriendto take care of your mom, as you clearly already know. More prayers coming your way, too.
July 14, 2008 at 01:51bronsontsaysLillyAnn
is caught up in the problem of people with insurance driving up the
cost of insurance and health care by overutalization.
July 14, 2008 at 01:51LillyAnn's daughter says to greytfriend TY! Running to get my schedule and see Mom once more tonight if I can
July 14, 2008 at 01:52bronsontthey
run to the doctor with every little sniffle and someone without
insurance winds up with $100K bill because they couldn't get a $300
July 14, 2008 at 01:52bronsontprocedure when they needed it.
July 14, 2008 at 01:53andexsaystell we miss and to get better soon
July 14, 2008 at 01:54LeighJsaysI know that first hand... I havn't had insurance for 7 years... with a wife who has MCTD... it sucks...
July 14, 2008 at 02:19ShimmerGeek*gives a huge hug*
July 14, 2008 at 02:20Danasaysoh wow! i hope everything will work out alright. you and your daughter are in our thoughts
July 14, 2008 at 13:32Conniewww.plurk.com/p/1cx8b shows that LillyAnn sent seerysm a drink on Facebook while supposed to be in ICU. Screenshot included.
July 14, 2008 at 13:39oyunfoundsaysgodfather if you have spoken to lilly or gabrielle directly you need to let some people know cause there are definitely skeptics
July 14, 2008 at 13:39LillyAnn--I made a mistake on facebook trying to send out allot of emails at once and my father caught me
July 14, 2008 at 13:39LillyAnn--Didn't mean to make anyone mad at me. I will have my mom call Godfather.
July 14, 2008 at 13:41talespinnersaysWhat's with Wispy.com, which is the URL as my_pathways' customer service addr.
July 14, 2008 at 13:42ConnieThat's
not an easy mistake to make. You have to log into the application Top
Friends and choose a drink to send. It's completely different
July 14, 2008 at 13:42talespinnersaysIt says "Lilly's services" but lists all psychic stuff and google ads
July 14, 2008 at 13:42LillyAnn's daughter says I'm really sorry to have caused any trouble I will leave her social networks alone now
July 14, 2008 at 13:43oyunfoundsaysgabrielle that would be appreciated by a lot of the people on here, we all care about your mom but the online thing can be tricky
July 14, 2008 at 13:44oyunfoundsayswhich
i am sure your mom and dad have talked to you about, we ALL appreciate
what it is you are doing but there are some baaaad people out
July 14, 2008 at 13:44bronsonttalespinner, Whispy.com is her business web site.
July 14, 2008 at 13:44oyunfoundsaysthere
and alot of us have been affected by them, noone is upset at all and
you should ask the community to help you with things like faceboo
July 14, 2008 at 13:45oyunfoundsaysi know that everyone wants to see her better and would do whatever it takes to help, GOOD LUCK little princess
July 14, 2008 at 13:45talespinnersays"business"?
It looks like a directory with spammy ads. Sorry, i like to believe in
the good of people, but this looks like no business site
July 14, 2008 at 13:45talespinnersaysi just hope i wasn't wrong
July 14, 2008 at 13:46seerysmsaysThere are some things that are not adding up Gabrielle, but we don't want to be skeptical - we want to help you - we don't want you to stop
July 14, 2008 at 13:46bronsontgabrielle, nothing to apologize about, so many internet scams around people just have to be careful when sending money out.
July 14, 2008 at 13:53bronsonttalespinner,
on internet nothing is for sure, but Lilly did share several emails
with potential advertiser while discussing contractual
July 14, 2008 at 13:53bronsontproblems, so I feel that is legit.
July 14, 2008 at 13:54bronsontthinksGabrielle should share hospital info with us that would clear up the doubts.
July 14, 2008 at 13:55oyunfoundsaysbronsort that is the only reason i am in belief as well, she forwarded them to me too
July 14, 2008 at 13:59bronsontsaysyep, legit or very good! Unfortunately if we are left spinning in the wind only option is to hunker down for now.
July 14, 2008 at 14:14talespinnersaysno that was another thread. I saw that and was surprised
July 14, 2008 at 14:22ConnieThat
thread had some tough questions about health care and pointing out
inconsistencies in what Gabrielle has said. (by JustJen, I think)
July 14, 2008 at 14:34bronsontfeelsseerysm
has a point. The string with Justjen's comments re:ICU/Clinic and need
to leave ICU to go to clinic for treatment is gone.
July 14, 2008 at 14:47talespinnersaysthat
does not bode well when you add up everything. But the Paypal addr had
169 confirmed "buyers", which suggests some stability, no?
July 14, 2008 at 14:48talespinnersaysI
never used to but, but a few years back, I started living by the rule
of Occam's Razor: that the simplest explanation is usually the
July 14, 2008 at 14:48talespinnersayscorrect one. What is that, here? Possibly that Gabrielle's so young that she's leaving stuff out, or feeling overwhelmed
July 14, 2008 at 14:54bronsontfeelstalespinner is correct, at least I hope so.
July 14, 2008 at 15:02ArmchairDeitysaysI was disappointed to see that she's pretty much an internet psychic for hire, but there were a lot of detail in the second like
July 14, 2008 at 15:03ArmchairDeitythat
match other conversations that I've kept up on. It means either she's a
freakin MASTER con artist or she is genuine and the kid is
July 14, 2008 at 15:03ArmchairDeitymessing up some of the details.
July 14, 2008 at 15:05ArmchairDeitythinksthat as for being an internet psychic... if people are helped not hurt, I am less concerned...
July 14, 2008 at 15:06ArmchairDeitythinksit IS very weird, tho', that the details in those two links haven't been updated since 2003 or so...
July 14, 2008 at 15:16talespinnersayssigh. let's hope that all is well, in whatever way we take that
July 14, 2008 at 15:18ArmchairDeityisnot saying this is or isn't a scam... I'm just layout out details that have made me question the situation...
July 14, 2008 at 15:22seerysmsaysagreed - I hope for nothing but the best - for all involved
July 14, 2008 at 19:22CeeDubb: Okay...there was a Plurk that LillyAnn had on here that just got deleted...
July 14, 2008 at 19:23CeeDubb: I started to go into detail and why I thought that all this didn't sit right with me...
July 14, 2008 at 19:23Rev. Godfatherplurks get deleted when they hit a certain number
July 14, 2008 at 19:24CeeDubb: I called *Shenanigans* and now the Plurk is gone... way too fishy now.
July 14, 2008 at 19:25talespinnersaysGodfather. I can't agree. That deleted plurk had less responses than this one.
July 14, 2008 at 19:26Rev. Godfatherwait, was it the quote one?
July 14, 2008 at 19:28talespinnersaysBut Godfather, you're onlly one of 2 ppl to have talked to them on the phone.
July 14, 2008 at 19:29talespinnersayswe need for Gabrielle to tell us the phone # of the hospital
July 14, 2008 at 19:29talespinnersaysand Lilly Ann's full name so someone can verify.
July 14, 2008 at 19:30Rev. Godfatherwell i'm suppose to be getting a call tonight so i'll let ya know if i get it or not
July 14, 2008 at 19:31CeeDubb: Come on...kid was in a bad car accident and it was only talked about for a few of days before it went on to new subjects...
July 14, 2008 at 19:32CeeDubb: I hope I'm wrong because I'd be the first to profusely apologize, but stuff ain't adding up.
July 14, 2008 at 19:32CeeDubb: I can't fully trust someone whom I've never talked to or met.
July 14, 2008 at 19:33CeeDubb: If we've haven't met...you'll always be suspect.
July 14, 2008 at 19:33Rev. Godfatherlike i said, if i get the call tonight i'm suppose to i'll let you guys know what's goin on for sure
July 14, 2008 at 19:35ArmchairDeityishoping beyond hope that this is not a fraud... that would be even more tragic than the actual events...
July 14, 2008 at 19:35ArmchairDeityhasrefrained from stating his fears for fear of a lynching...
July 14, 2008 at 19:36talespinnersaysI
just sent an email to Plurk staff to check on some suspicions, incl.
whether LillyAnn's IP is really from Chicago or not. Might not prove
July 14, 2008 at 19:36talespinnersaysconclusive, but if it's Indiana like some said, then we know this is a hoax
July 14, 2008 at 19:37talespinnersayshopefully Plurk crew responds.
July 14, 2008 at 19:37bronsontsaysdon't think that would prove anything talespinner, isn't Chicago close enough to Indiana state line to have suburbs there?
July 14, 2008 at 19:43CeeDubb: LillyAnn said that her son was the driver in a car accident that killed his passenger...
July 14, 2008 at 19:43talespinnersaysyes, this now sucks for us either way
July 14, 2008 at 19:43CeeDubb: Do I have that wrong?
July 14, 2008 at 19:43ArmchairDeitythinkshe should have called foul sooner but had no evidence, no details, nothing... just a hunch and a... spidey sense, I guess.
July 14, 2008 at 19:44CylithriasaysI'll state simply for consideration, my sons and nanny were killed in car accident caused by drunk driver. If you did a check
July 14, 2008 at 19:45CeeDubb:
I take people at their word until something proves otherwise. It's the
inconsistency in your story that's enough to trigger suspicioun...
July 14, 2008 at 19:45Cylithriasaysof accidents in 1998 where I live in Mississippi, you'd find none. It didn't happen here
July 14, 2008 at 19:45Cylithriasaysso there are times when a person can state something, it be true, but also factually incorrect in a local jurisdiction
July 14, 2008 at 19:45Cylithriasaysmaybe we cal all wait to see what godfather hears?
July 14, 2008 at 19:46talespinnersaysthis is the atmosphere of stuff that makes us more bitter as a race
July 14, 2008 at 19:47CeeDubb: Well...to be Devil's Advocate here...information and the Internet weren't as prolific in 1998 as it is today.
July 14, 2008 at 19:48CylithriasaysI agree with that CeeDubb too true.
July 14, 2008 at 19:48CeeDubb: Too many things don't make sense...
July 14, 2008 at 19:49CeeDubb: Can't rustle up $1200? Have you seen the pictures of *her house*. And if you get expensive sea horses, you can pay for dialysis.
July 14, 2008 at 19:50CylithriasaysYes,
I don't know what is going on. But I do know that for me, MUCH of my
life etc, does not make normal sense, due to duty. Yet it's true
July 14, 2008 at 19:50Cylithriasaysso perhaps godfather will get a call and we will know more
July 14, 2008 at 19:51ConnieWe
have had plurk conversation threads with 650+ responses. They have not
been deleted. Besides, she sent a private one to me & then deleted
July 14, 2008 at 19:52Cylithriasayswell whatever happens, this thread has shown me the incredibleness of the people at plurk and for that I am grateful.
July 14, 2008 at 19:52CylithriasaysLots of GOOD people in this plurk. I like that
July 14, 2008 at 19:53ShimmerGeek$1200 every week is still a huge amount.. that's like $5000+ a month
July 14, 2008 at 19:54ShimmerGeekregardless of how big someone's house is - it is a HUGE amount of money; even if you have a good job
July 14, 2008 at 19:54ShimmerGeek$60,000 a year is no drop in the ocean for anyone
July 14, 2008 at 19:58ConnieI agree with you ShimmerGeek. And if we answers to some basic questions I would not hesitate to ask people to donate.
July 14, 2008 at 19:59Mystress Devylwantsto
know how, though, she maintains a huge house with expensive things if
she can't afford dialysis? Certainly, it would be better
July 14, 2008 at 19:59ConnieBut
too many things don't add up, so until we get some basic proof that
Lilly/Gabrielle are who they say they are, I cannot endorse this.
July 14, 2008 at 19:59Mystress Devylto sell the house and use that for treatment?
July 14, 2008 at 19:59CeeDubb:
Maybe I'm a tad practical in some situations, but unless I were upside
down in my house, I'd ditch that expense to pay for my health care.
July 14, 2008 at 20:00Mystress Devylagain,
i think the family should ask the newspaper to reun an article, then
link us to the appropriate place to find it ... and we'd all
July 14, 2008 at 20:01Mystress Devylfeel
better. The article doesn't have to give her full name, address, or
telephone number, or any other personal info. The information
July 14, 2008 at 20:01Mystress Devylcould then be kept private, but the situation publicized so that the townspeople and we can further help LillyAnn
July 14, 2008 at 20:01Mystress DevylI
still don't think i'm asking too much. I only make $300 a week, but am
willing to part with some of it, to help her, if I can only do
July 14, 2008 at 20:02Mystress Devylso KNOWING this is not a hoax!
July 14, 2008 at 20:04CeeDubb: I'm sorry...but there's a line I draw the line at helping.
July 14, 2008 at 20:05seerysmsaysher full name is all over the place - just knowing what hospital or clinic she in would help a ton
July 14, 2008 at 20:05CeeDubb: For example, I need some help fixing my car and it's gonna cost $5000 and I'm asking people to help me out...
July 14, 2008 at 20:06CeeDubb: ...but I've got $15K worth of bicycles sitting in my garage.
July 14, 2008 at 20:06ArmchairDeitythinksthat everything anyone would need to spoof her in the way that has been done here can be found on whispy.com...
July 14, 2008 at 20:10bronsontthinksthis
is like a train wreck, you just can't look away. I think we just wait
it out, either Gabrielle clarifies or we sink into the woodwork
July 14, 2008 at 20:11ArmchairDeityif
this is a scam, one of two things is happening: There is a Lilly
Calandrello who's an internet psychic and psychologist whose details
July 14, 2008 at 20:11ArmchairDeitywere pulled from her website and used to get $ from plurkers in a well-planned and executed con
July 14, 2008 at 20:11bronsontthinksand Ceecubb can I borrow a bike to ride the Copper Triangle in August?
July 14, 2008 at 20:12ArmchairDeityor
"Lilly" herself has set this all up to get $ from plurkers and will
recover from her "kidney problems" and show up back on Plurk before
July 14, 2008 at 20:12ArmchairDeitypeople get TOO upset that her "daughter" has been filling in for her, keeping us all RIVETED to the drama
July 14, 2008 at 20:13ArmchairDeity(that's
assuming that this really is a con)... there was a page on her site
that gave her details... names of her kids, that she has lupus
July 14, 2008 at 20:13ArmchairDeitythat she's married and loved seahorses... everything else could have been creatively role played here.
July 14, 2008 at 20:15CeeDubb: For the Copper Triangle?
July 14, 2008 at 20:15CeeDubb: Sure! You can borrow this one.
July 14, 2008 at 20:16seerysmaskshas anyone called her psychic line in recent days?
July 14, 2008 at 20:16ArmchairDeityonly
it's fairly oldish and all the issues that could trip up a scammer have
changed. Divorce, death, etc., are all easily used to
July 14, 2008 at 20:16ArmchairDeitycreate a very sympathetic character and at the same time circumvent any difficult questions
July 14, 2008 at 20:17ArmchairDeitycuz who's gonna challenge "oh, he's dead"? or "we had a very difficult divorce"?
July 14, 2008 at 20:21CHiCasksand
what if you're wrong? What if this poor woman is dying due to lack of
insurance in a country that doesn't give a crap about people?
July 14, 2008 at 20:21CHiCwishesyou would just let it alone.
July 14, 2008 at 20:22CeeDubb: Sorry CHIC. This Plurk wouldn't change that fact. People shouldn't give up money *just in case this isn't true*...
July 14, 2008 at 20:22CeeDubb: Too many inconsistencies have come to light. If I'm wrong, then I'd be the first to be an advocate.
July 14, 2008 at 20:23CeeDubb: I was an advocate turned doubter...
July 14, 2008 at 20:23ArmchairDeityif I find out I'm wrong, I'll be the first to say OMG I'm sorry... but plurk and plurk alone is a stupid place to go for help
July 14, 2008 at 20:23CeeDubb: Even without insurance, you can get treatment for critical care.
July 14, 2008 at 20:24seerysmsaysI'd promote this fundraising effort if I *knew* this to be true. The question of what hospital/clinic should've been easy to answer.
July 14, 2008 at 20:24Mystress Devylthinksthat those who will give, will not refrain. In fact, I know of three that have given despite having doubts about the truth.
July 14, 2008 at 20:24ArmchairDeitywhere's
her ex-husband? Where's the rest of her family? THIS MAKES NO SENSE...
her daughter lives near the hosp with her dad, yet the kid is
July 14, 2008 at 20:24Mystress Devylsaysand, once again, I suggested the newspapers FROM THE START (when I was made aware of this thread).
July 14, 2008 at 20:25ArmchairDeitythe sole agent for fund raising and does it via Plurk? Forgive me for being suspicious, but I am...
July 14, 2008 at 20:25seerysmsaysand
the deleted plurk asked a ton of hard questions that were avoided
and/or presented inconsistencies that are really hard to ignore
July 14, 2008 at 20:27CHiCaskswhat do you gain by this skepticism? I can't confirm or deny the need - but I don't understand the bon fire you've created here
July 14, 2008 at 20:27seerysmsaysI will give some w/out knowing the truth, I am looking to help and don't want anyone to be hurt
July 14, 2008 at 20:29CeeDubb: CHIC...have you followed all of this for the past few weeks/month?
July 14, 2008 at 20:29ArmchairDeitysaysCHiC,
NOBODY wants to be right that this is a scam, but our friends have been
giving hundreds of dollars to what looks to very possibly
July 14, 2008 at 20:29ArmchairDeitybe a scam... some of us have finally spoken up about our fears...
July 14, 2008 at 20:32Mystress Devylthinkswe
should all just take a deep breath here. Ready? ** EVERYONE TAKE A DEEP
BREATH NOW ** Ok. Let it out, slowly. And listen a moment:
July 14, 2008 at 20:32Mystress Devylthose
of us that have spoken out have also been the most vocal about getting
behind this movement to help 100% once we know it is verifiable
July 14, 2008 at 20:33CeeDubb: Me...and probably a few others...have had multiple Private Plurk conversations with LillyAnn.
July 14, 2008 at 20:33CeeDubb: ...With me...the private ones aren't meshing very well with the public ones...
July 14, 2008 at 20:33Mystress Devylthose of us that have spoken out are willing to help donate money, help also raise funds through friends, and
July 14, 2008 at 20:34Mystress Devyldo whatever needs to be done to help LillyAnn get what she needs. ALL WE WANT IS VERIFIABLE INFORMATION BEFORE WE DO THIS.
July 14, 2008 at 20:35Conniewell said, ViolentBeauty. We just need something tangible and verifiable.
July 14, 2008 at 20:36ConnieIf this is a legitimate need, that should be easy to do.
July 14, 2008 at 20:36CHiCsaysCeeDubb I have folllowed the tread and agree that it's odd - they still burn witches in the world
July 14, 2008 at 20:36ArmchairDeitywithout
a cross-reference we have the word of Gabrielle, LllyAnn and Godfather
to go on... that's it, and we have no verifiable data on any
July 14, 2008 at 20:36Mystress DevylSo
please. Anyone that can give me hard facts, do so. I know some pretty
anxious people who would be willing to put forth some serious
July 14, 2008 at 20:36Mystress Devylfund-raising efforts.
July 14, 2008 at 20:36ArmchairDeitynobody wants to burn anyway, we just wanna get our friends to show some better judgement till we know what's going on!
July 14, 2008 at 20:36ArmchairDeityscratch anyway and make that anybody
July 14, 2008 at 20:37CHiCsaysArmchairDiety thanks for explaining your motivation - again I have no idea what is the truth - only concern about the rage in the growing
July 14, 2008 at 20:39AmberCadabraI too am willing to help. All I'm asking for is something to verify it. There are too many scam artists out there, unfortunately
July 14, 2008 at 20:39bronsontsaysthis
is like a train wreck, you just can't look away. I think we just wait
it out, either Gabrielle clarifies or we sink into the woodwork
July 14, 2008 at 20:40ArmchairDeitywasin
a long distance relationship with a girl who used her cousin's
photograph and a kid she was babysitting to convince me that she
July 14, 2008 at 20:41ArmchairDeityhad 2 kids, was pregnant and on her own, was extremely physically attractive and wanted to marry me and make a family
July 14, 2008 at 20:41ArmchairDeityreally,
no more is there a willingness to simply accept someone's story, if it
calls for any kind of commitment, on their word alone
July 14, 2008 at 20:42CHiCsaysoh ArmchairDiety that's awful. I understand more now - thanks.
July 14, 2008 at 20:43ArmchairDeityit was very long and involved, but those are the high points.
July 14, 2008 at 20:43ArmchairDeityhonestly
my problem with this situtation is based on that experience and the
lack of verifiable details... everyone has details... things
July 14, 2008 at 20:44CeeDubb: So how attractive was she?
July 14, 2008 at 20:45ArmchairDeitythe
cousin was hott! The real girl was... ummm... not-traditionally
attractive? I thought she was hott... we tried to work it out, but too
July 14, 2008 at 20:46ArmchairDeitymuch damage was done by the deception that I reached a point where I could no longer convince myself that it was a good idea
July 14, 2008 at 20:46ArmchairDeityand all due to an inability to cross reference information between more than one source.
July 14, 2008 at 20:50ArmchairDeityin
any case, I take responsibility for continuing to believe after my
intuition was telling me I was being misled, but I was emotionally
July 14, 2008 at 20:50ArmchairDeitydependent
on the relationship at the time and chose to continue believing as a
matter of survival. The point is that without the ability to
July 14, 2008 at 20:51ArmchairDeitycross-reference the details of this situation, there's really a 50/50 chance that this is a fraud...
July 14, 2008 at 20:52ArmchairDeityhasalso saved this plurk to a PDF so it can't just be deleted.
July 14, 2008 at 21:25normankosmalsaysis this getting out of hand?Looks like it to me.
July 14, 2008 at 21:32ArmchairDeitythinkssomeone being questioned for getting people to send $1200 on false pretenses is NOT out of hand
July 14, 2008 at 21:33ArmchairDeityespecially when this: www.plurk.com/p/t8xb came either from Chicago where Lilly is supposed to live
July 14, 2008 at 21:43ConnieNo, this is not getting out of hand. ArmchairDeity is more vocal than the rest of us but he's not alone in being skeptical.
July 14, 2008 at 21:44ConnieGenerous people are standing by, ready and willing to help. All we need is verification that this is a legitimate need.
July 14, 2008 at 21:44erinsapsaysarmchairdeity when she posted that pic, i thought it looked way too fake
July 14, 2008 at 21:45ConnieSomeone w/ a backround of working in the design industry told me that was not a photo but a digital rendering.
July 14, 2008 at 21:45erinsapsayslike a picture from a aquarium designers portfolio.
July 14, 2008 at 21:46ConnieJust tell me the name of the hospital where she is, and I will have a friend go by and visit her personally and find out from
July 14, 2008 at 21:46Connieher health care professionals what she needs and how we can help.
July 14, 2008 at 21:47CHiCsaysI'll go one better. I have a friend at the Chicago Trib. She'll go by for a look see.
July 14, 2008 at 21:51ConnieThere you go, CHiC. That's all we're asking for.
July 14, 2008 at 21:53ArmchairDeitywantsto know if CHiC's friend is a reporter or some other type of employee?
July 14, 2008 at 21:54LexibabysaysArmchairDeity if you look at the window of that picture, you can see the photoshopped leaves from a "tree" in the background.
July 14, 2008 at 21:54Lexibabysaysdoesn't look like any tree i've ever seen
July 14, 2008 at 21:55CHiChasan investigative reporter friend at almost every paper in the country.
July 14, 2008 at 21:57talespinnersaysi've given but turned doubter, yet hoping that we've helped a real person, not a scammer
July 14, 2008 at 21:58talespinnersaysGabrielle
hasn't responded once since the doubting began, and even deleted the
other thread she started. Now Occam's razor says, based on
July 14, 2008 at 21:59talespinnersaysher details, that she's just at work or at the hospital, given that the surgery could be today
July 14, 2008 at 21:59talespinnersaysmy email to Plurk has not been replied to yet, btw
July 14, 2008 at 22:00erinsapsaysya the TV is shopped too
July 14, 2008 at 22:13dangrsmindshareshis professional opinion: fraud.
July 14, 2008 at 22:18ConnieDo you have a law enforcement background, dangrsmind? (you mentioned professional opinion)
July 14, 2008 at 22:19dangrsmindsaysI am the chief scientist of a company in the fraud prevention business, but I am not a law enforcement professional.
July 14, 2008 at 22:19dangrsmindsaysI work with some however.
July 14, 2008 at 22:27ArmchairDeitythinksthat anyone who's been on MSNBC and CNN and written for the NY Times and USA Today should have references outside her own site
July 14, 2008 at 22:27ArmchairDeityand her very own social networking accounts on the various services... but there aren't any.
July 14, 2008 at 22:28talespinnersaysso we've been had...
July 14, 2008 at 22:32CHiCsaysinternet fraud is the juristiction of the FBI. You can file a complaint here: www.ic3.gov/
July 14, 2008 at 22:32ArmchairDeityisstill not 100% sure, talespinner... her Digg account was opened in 2006, but the profile photos aren't all the same person... wtf?
July 14, 2008 at 22:35ArmchairDeitysaysI
tell you what tho', it's more likely that there's frayd here than
not... there's too much inconsistency, too many missing details...
July 14, 2008 at 22:35ConnieTimely that we are having a live discussion (a "plurkshop") on Internet security tonight w/ 2 experts. 6 pm PDT/9 pm EDT at plurkshops.com
July 14, 2008 at 22:38ArmchairDeityand a reference to a book that's to come out in 2005 on that same page
July 14, 2008 at 22:45ArmchairDeitythere's
this "article" from 2005 that reveals that she's been getting donations
thru PayPal to support her dialysis and lupus treatments
July 14, 2008 at 22:50talespinnersaysaside: i don't quite get how we join the plurkshop. Hope you'll plurk that
July 14, 2008 at 22:50talespinnersaysWell, Gabrielle seems to have disappeared since before things started heating up
July 14, 2008 at 22:52talespinnersaysthe Digg pics are all the same person - at least they seem so to me - she's just younger in the brunette pics, i think
July 14, 2008 at 22:56talespinnersaysBtw, LillyAnn dugg a story on digg on Jul 11 - after she was supposedly in the hospital unconscious
July 14, 2008 at 22:59ShimmerGeekmmm.. gotta say i'm suspicious
July 14, 2008 at 23:00ConnieasksWas the story on Digg anything that had to do with her illness?
July 14, 2008 at 23:00ShimmerGeekbut i hate that we live in this kinda world both where some people do pull this kinda scam,and where it's natural to be suspicious
July 14, 2008 at 23:02talespinnersaysno, not related. But she also signed in to her Ustream.tv acct on Jul 10, the same day she went to hospital in the morn (i think) - could be
July 14, 2008 at 23:06ConnieIf you check seerysm timeline, you'll see that LillyAnn sent her a drink on Facebook, at the time Gabrielle said Lilly was in ICU.
July 14, 2008 at 23:06acomputerprothinkswhat is wrong with all you people? Can't you see LillyAnn needs help? How could you doubt the sincerity.
July 14, 2008 at 23:06ConnieI believe Gabrielle's response about a "mistake" was on the deleted thread.
July 14, 2008 at 23:07Kirstenwishesthat
if you all have doubts, that you just leave the thread alone and DON'T
DONATE. You don't have to be the damn computer police.
July 14, 2008 at 23:08Kirstensaysthose who know LillyAnn can support her. Those who choose to make this some sort of "She's a fake" witchhunt should have better things to
July 14, 2008 at 23:08Kirstensaysdo with their time than fill up a thread meant to keep us all in the loop. Grow the hell up, people.
July 14, 2008 at 23:14vryNRSNsaysI have avoided this conversation for the most part, however, plurklessinak's comment "brings me"... if you do know her personally...
July 14, 2008 at 23:14acomputerprosayson a side note... I've unblocked CeeDubb and have accepted his apology... but I will not unblock his asshat friends.
July 14, 2008 at 23:14vryNRSNsaysand can substantiate what is going on, you would do **her** a world of good... a lot of the people doubting this are people that I know...
July 14, 2008 at 23:15vryNRSNsaysto
be very generous... I'm sure that generosity would show itself again,
if they could put their doubts to rest...does anyone know LillyAnn
July 14, 2008 at 23:15vryNRSNsaysand can they lend any credibility to her situation?
July 14, 2008 at 23:15NotAMeanGirlOk... everyone needs to take a step back. No one is mentioning their fears about this being fradulent out of any malice for LillyAnn.
July 14, 2008 at 23:16NotAMeanGirlThey're simply trying to protect their friends from POTENTIALLY making a mistake and being taken in by an internet con.
July 14, 2008 at 23:17ShimmerGeekexactly...
all anyone has asked for is confirmation - even something as simple as
"which hospital is she at?" - but it's not been given
July 14, 2008 at 23:17NotAMeanGirlThere's
no harm in that. There's no reason for finger pointing at one another.
At this point all that can be done is we wait and see
July 14, 2008 at 23:17NotAMeanGirlif confirmation is given or not.
July 14, 2008 at 23:17erinsapsayspeople are just sharing their thoughts on this. It is fair that we should be allowed to make an informed decision on this.
July 14, 2008 at 23:18ShimmerGeeki know so many awesome people here on Plurk, and most of them want to do all they can to help
July 14, 2008 at 23:19ShimmerGeeksadly
in this world today, something like this on the net will be suspect -
people are just looking for some basic info to be sure
July 14, 2008 at 23:21erinsapsaystransparency is the order of the day...and there is none here.
July 14, 2008 at 23:22dangrsmindthinksthe pictures on her DIgg page are not the same person, and facial recognition software agrees with me.
July 14, 2008 at 23:25RohanPintoistoo scared to think this is a scam...
July 14, 2008 at 23:27erinsapsaysthe power of the internet will always sniff out what is right or wrong. ALWAYS.
July 14, 2008 at 23:32CeeDubb: Please refrain from using the term **asshat**. I'm working diligently to copyright it and would appreciate that you help me out...
July 14, 2008 at 23:33bronsontsaysI sat on my hat the other day, does that make it an asshat?
July 14, 2008 at 23:33RohanPintoLilly Ann and Dave Rice seem to be in a "relationship"
July 14, 2008 at 23:34RohanPintobut however i've seen plurks about off and on.. so i aint sure...
July 14, 2008 at 23:35RohanPintodave's FB status message says "is pulling for Lilly."
July 14, 2008 at 23:41erinsapsaysnow THAT'S an asshat!
July 14, 2008 at 23:43bronsontsays and that is us! LOL
July 14, 2008 at 23:43dangrsmindsayssame pictures she has posted elsewhere. I'd bet on fraud at this point.
July 14, 2008 at 23:43RohanPintoI'm on the phone with Dave Rice right now....
July 14, 2008 at 23:44dangrsmindRohan,
you're FB friends with Dave Rice, can you check this story with him? Or
is he just another virtual persona? Ironic if so...
July 14, 2008 at 23:45RohanPintoDave vouches that THIS is not a fraud.
July 14, 2008 at 23:46CeeDubb: Well I'll look up some *crow* recipes, but I won't start cooking it yet...
July 14, 2008 at 23:45ShimmerGeekhow well do you know this Dave guy though? :/
July 14, 2008 at 23:46RohanPintoDave is exchanging emails with Gabriel right now...
July 14, 2008 at 23:46RohanPintoI dont... I googled and found his number...
July 14, 2008 at 23:47bronsontsays but still no personal contact?
July 14, 2008 at 23:47RohanPintoGabriel tells dave that this plurk is getting out of hand and she intends to probably delete this plurk
July 14, 2008 at 23:48bronsontsayswhy delete it? LillyAnn's Karma is through the roof!
July 14, 2008 at 23:48RohanPintoi asked him to ask gabriel to not delete this plurk...
July 14, 2008 at 23:49erinsapsaysWhy delete it when she can post facts and get our support?
July 14, 2008 at 23:49talespinnersaysSomeone copied it to PDF earlier. I wish the plurk team would respond to my "email"
July 14, 2008 at 23:50talespinnersaysright - would you delete something if it was straight up?
July 14, 2008 at 23:50RohanPintohe says.. LillyAnn is not doing well.. her kidney is breaking down...
July 14, 2008 at 23:51dangrsmindsaysoh what tangled webs we weave...
July 14, 2008 at 23:52RohanPintoi asked him for her hospital name - and he's not feeling comfortable giving it to me..
July 14, 2008 at 23:52Cylithriasaysrohanpinto - can you ask what stage level the ESRD is in?
July 14, 2008 at 23:53Cylithriasaysand what type of CKD did she first present with?
July 14, 2008 at 23:53dangrsmindsaysRohan...you're FB friends with Mr. Rice but don't really know him? I think that's rather amusing given your profession.
July 14, 2008 at 23:54RohanPintoOk. I just got off the phone.... C'mon now. all of LillyAnn's details and Dave's are so public. why would this be a scam. ?
July 14, 2008 at 23:54talespinnersaystell him he had better think again because there's a revolt brewing. it's for the good
July 14, 2008 at 23:55ShimmerGeekbecause it's easy to put up convincing details and elaborate lies if you really want money (not saying it is- but that is *why*)
July 14, 2008 at 23:55RohanPintoI know.. and thats why I jumped in... Dave said that something similar happened on stumbleupon too
July 14, 2008 at 23:56Cylithriasayswhat is her diagnosis then? Did he say?
July 14, 2008 at 23:56dangrsmindsaysThanks for the clarification Rohan. FWIW fraudsters use real identities and identity information all the time.
July 14, 2008 at 23:57CylithriahasCKD and is heading towards ESRD so this is close to home for me.
July 14, 2008 at 23:57RohanPintoI dont **feel** this is a fraud. somethiong inside me says that this is not.
July 14, 2008 at 23:58Cylithriahasone dead kidney and one dying one, so I felt or related to LillyAnn closely simply due to knowing what a battle for your life this stuff is
July 14, 2008 at 23:58ShimmerGeeki didn't when i first saw it; i don't want it to be.. i'm just getting really put off by the refusal to give details
July 14, 2008 at 23:59ShimmerGeekall
these wonderful kind people want to do what they can to help; they're
more than willing to - but noone will give them details :/
July 14, 2008 at 23:59ShimmerGeekthat is the only thing that makes me nervous of it
July 14, 2008 at 23:59dangrsmindsayssomething "similar" happened on StumbledUpon as well? This is getting good...
July 14, 2008 at 23:59DaveWebbaskshow can you be certain that Dave Rice & LillyAnn are not two profiles run by the same guy? Just sayin'.
July 15, 2008 at 00:00bronsontthinkshe
agrees with rohan deep down, but the failure to provide any fact which
can be verified makes one skeptical. Best to just withdraw & wait
July 15, 2008 at 00:02ShimmerGeekagain, could just be a guy and a girl working together
July 15, 2008 at 00:02ShimmerGeeki just think that it's odd no details are posted; all that needs done is the hospital name and everyone would trust 100% again
July 15, 2008 at 00:02RohanPintoI googled and got dave's number in less than 60 seconds.. there's so much public info out there..
July 15, 2008 at 00:02dangrsmindsayscheapies is a domain hosting service they won't tell you anything.
July 15, 2008 at 00:03CylithriasaysI'm being deliberately not forward with the lingo because i don't want to give any scammer more ammo
July 15, 2008 at 00:03RohanPintoscammers dont publish so much info about themselves.
July 15, 2008 at 00:03dangrsmindsaysI take that back. Its all listed there...
July 15, 2008 at 00:04talespinnersayssure they do, if they're running something elaborate
July 15, 2008 at 00:04dangrsmindsaysapparently she lives in New Jersey not Chicago. I won't post the phone numbers but you can find them yourself.
July 15, 2008 at 00:04ShimmerGeekagain - why no hospital name? it would put everyone's fears to rest immediately and they could start getting back to helping
July 15, 2008 at 00:05talespinnersaysbut Rohan, did Dave say anythign about the donations? And did you tell him there are concerned people?
July 15, 2008 at 00:07erinsapsaysdangrsmind that's what I thought too until I looked. I didn't want to post the # either...
July 15, 2008 at 00:08talespinnersaysdangrsmind -I shared on Amber's plurk that Lily and I have 10-12 people in common, 7 of whom are SEOs, 2-3 of whom I don't trust
July 15, 2008 at 00:08talespinnersayswell i didn't say that last part
July 15, 2008 at 00:21RohanPintooops.. wrong window...
July 15, 2008 at 00:23talespinnersaysShimmerGeek don't feel that way. I felt like an ass all day, but since neither Gabrielle nor Dave will say, it's hard to be trusting.
July 15, 2008 at 00:25NotAMeanGirlisstill
reserving judgement. I see where the doubt is coming from but I also
understand why Gabrielle may have abandoned the thread...
July 15, 2008 at 00:28RohanPintofor those who doubt.. would u be able to live with yourselves if your proven wrong ? *I wouldnt*
July 15, 2008 at 00:29RohanPintobut I'm gonna post all the info I have and can obtain to help... *either way*
July 15, 2008 at 00:31Cylithriasaysactually I could rohanpinto no one here at plurk sought this info out. It was brought to us. Plurkies responded. Then asked for confirm
July 15, 2008 at 00:31CeeDubb: No problems living with myself.
July 15, 2008 at 00:32CeeDubb: When I'm wrong, I'm wrong and admit it.
July 15, 2008 at 00:33CylithriasaysLillyAnn could be very sick and someone else scamming plurk. I pray she isn't sick. No one should suffer ESRD.
July 15, 2008 at 00:33Myrnaslistsaysyou're certainly giving this woman alot of karma and attention at the very least
July 15, 2008 at 00:34CeeDubb: My trust has low limits when I've never met you personally.
July 15, 2008 at 00:37JustJenOkay, here is what I know and what was posted LATE LATE last night early this morning
July 15, 2008 at 00:37JustJenLilly Caldendrello lives in Hammond, IN and is 54-55 years old
July 15, 2008 at 00:37JustJenshe is a web designer
July 15, 2008 at 00:37JustJenwho claims to have a HUGE and varied number of degrees.
July 15, 2008 at 00:38JustJenThe bar that she has shown everyone where she houses her seahorse would cost an easy 1.5mill just for the set up.
July 15, 2008 at 00:39JustJeneach one of the seahorse pairs run from $250 to $600+ (the new orange she claims to have just received)
July 15, 2008 at 00:39NancyNallysaysI don't see anything in any of the online stuff attached to her name that says "web designer"
July 15, 2008 at 00:39ConnieI
can live with myself if I'm wrong, and I'll gladly -- happily --
contribute more to the fund. All it takes is a simple verifcation
July 15, 2008 at 00:39JustJenbased on the holding tanks and the colts - she has 100,000's + worth of exotic animals in her posession
July 15, 2008 at 00:40Conniethat Lilly Calandrello is a patient at XYZ hospital.
July 15, 2008 at 00:40oyunfoundsaysyou know what i had a few bucks to throw at it, if i get burnt i get burnt, I am confident in my end of things
July 15, 2008 at 00:40ConnieWith the name and phone number of the hospital being a matter of public record.
July 15, 2008 at 00:40JustJenI have verified that the number that the godfather has for her is the same number listed for the LC located in Hammond, IN
July 15, 2008 at 00:40ConnieThat is NOT too much to ask.
July 15, 2008 at 00:41JustJenShe
recently said she was going to a hotel for a conference in China and
had just booked it. The hotel won a design concept award in 2006
July 15, 2008 at 00:41JustJenbut ground has not been broken
July 15, 2008 at 00:41oyunfoundsaysthe pic of the aquariums is a fake, look at the tv
July 15, 2008 at 00:43JustJenDialysis
can be conducted in the hospital. People with renal failure continue
their dialysis while hospitalized. It does not require
July 15, 2008 at 00:43JustJenyou to be transported out of the hospital
July 15, 2008 at 00:43JustJenALSO
having a rare blood type will not prevent you from receiving dialysis.
The machine is the same and the procedure is the same regardless
July 15, 2008 at 00:44CylithriasaysJustJen is 200% correct on dialysis and rare blood.
July 15, 2008 at 00:44talespinnerand Hammon, IN is close to Chicago if I remember - will have to check google maps
July 15, 2008 at 00:46JustJenNeither myself or several other ppl have been able to find any blurbs online to substantiate the accident her son was in
July 15, 2008 at 00:46JustJennot by name, not by area or not by date
July 15, 2008 at 00:47JustJenI have checked with a friend in the Chicago area who works in healthcare and cannot find any record of LC being admitted
July 15, 2008 at 00:47NancyNallysaysso who's this guy who says she lives in NJ?
July 15, 2008 at 00:47ShimmerGeekalso Cylithria, just wanted to say how sorry I am you suffer from this yourself *hugs*
July 15, 2008 at 00:47talespinnersaysGabrielle herself said she was taking care of her brothers. The photos show only three children (1 girl, 2 guys)
July 15, 2008 at 00:49talespinnersaysDepending on where you look, Lilly Ann also has a PhD. PhD's usually have a good chance of getting a teaching job at a college
July 15, 2008 at 00:49talespinnersaysbut i'm sick of second guessing
July 15, 2008 at 00:49talespinnersaysenoughh for me today
July 15, 2008 at 00:51JustJenthe "daughter" also said she is not allowed on social networking sites yet has known from day 1 how to link plurk user names
July 15, 2008 at 00:51NancyNallysaysnoticed that all her credential lists are poorly formatted so you really can't tell what colleges she says she got degrees from?
July 15, 2008 at 00:51JustJenit takes frequent plurk users DAYS or more to figure it out
July 15, 2008 at 00:51Cindy Thomassaysquestion... if person is in ICI and no insurance, why would the ICU not give needed treatment?
July 15, 2008 at 00:52NancyNallysaysnotice that her credentials are always poorly formatted so its unclear where she says her degrees came from?
July 15, 2008 at 00:52JustJenisalso amazed that if the daughter is not allowed on sites that she has found them all, the logins, been able to navigate, reply
July 15, 2008 at 00:52NancyNallysayssorry double plurk, thought it got borked the first time
July 15, 2008 at 00:53JustJenAND set up donation sites. NONE of it makes sense
July 15, 2008 at 00:53CylithriasaysCindyThomas if the hospital accepts federal monies, and a patient enters with ESRD by law the ER and then Hospital must provide
July 15, 2008 at 00:53Cylithriasayslife saving treatment
July 15, 2008 at 00:53CylithriasaysI know. I dropped in a wlamart after locking my purse in car
July 15, 2008 at 00:53JustJenif it's NOT a scam show proof. I offered to contact ppl in the spiritual community and the medical community for help
July 15, 2008 at 00:53Cylithriasayswith ESRD and was transported to hospital
July 15, 2008 at 00:54Cylithriasayswithout any ID on me at the moment
July 15, 2008 at 00:54NancyNallysaysassuming she was denied life-saving dialysis to begin with, once in ICU it would HAVE to be given
July 15, 2008 at 00:54JustJenoffered to send flowers to the hospital/clinic. No info was given and the plurk was deleted
July 15, 2008 at 00:54talespinnersaysIt says on her LinkedIn profile where she went to college
July 15, 2008 at 00:54ShimmerGeekaye.. the "daughter" bit does bug me... one thing being that she has her own Plurk with no messages
July 15, 2008 at 00:54Cylithriasaysthen agency step in to ID you, locate next of kin etc.....
July 15, 2008 at 00:54Cindy Thomassaysexactly cylithria
July 15, 2008 at 00:54ShimmerGeekeven though she is "not allowed"
July 15, 2008 at 00:57JustJenI
honestly hope for those that have donated that this is not a scam. I
truly enjoyed LillyAnn and our interactions but my spidey sense is
July 15, 2008 at 00:57JustJenand has been since day 1 of this
July 15, 2008 at 00:58JustJenand I have witnessed first hand another scam that would out do the size of this one if it is proven to be false
July 15, 2008 at 00:59JustJenif
not false I will post a public apology on every blogger site I know and
personally take up donations in the community and hold an auction
July 15, 2008 at 01:00oyunfoundsaysi am with you on that one JustJen i have people that would donate other than me but until i am more sure, i wont get anyone else involved
July 15, 2008 at 01:11dotlizardi
did some detailed, deep google digging last night. i feel i should in
good conscience make a blog post detailing just THE FACTS as they
July 15, 2008 at 01:12dotlizardare.
i would not post conjecture, just word for word what i have found. i am
trying not to have an opinion one way or the other but ...
July 15, 2008 at 01:14ShimmerGeeki'd really appreciate seeing that if you do post it dotlizard
July 15, 2008 at 01:14ShimmerGeeki
wouldn't know where to start facthunting myself (can't make calls
easily since I'm outside of the U.S.) so would like to see some gathered
July 15, 2008 at 01:15AndyG1128thinksthis has taken on a whole life of its own
July 15, 2008 at 01:16Lolagrrlsaysdotlizard did you come across Christian carter and the Las Vegas address too?
July 15, 2008 at 01:18dotlizardno, i did not. but i have a list of schools, a home address confirmed by ppl that have talked to her, and a lot of questions.
July 15, 2008 at 01:18ShimmerGeekpost it somewhere?
July 15, 2008 at 01:19dotlizardi don't want to be malicious though. if i do this it's with a full declaration that this might all be explainable as true.
July 15, 2008 at 01:19ShimmerGeek*can't contain her curiosity*
July 15, 2008 at 01:19LolagrrlsaysI think what I found actually has more to do with Plagiarism than money fraud... but I abhor plagiarism too.
July 15, 2008 at 01:21ShimmerGeeki'm sure noone would take it as malicious
July 15, 2008 at 01:21ShimmerGeekif it's just the facts and how/where you found them out with a disclaimer that maybe all will be explained; it's fine
July 15, 2008 at 01:22Lolagrrlsaysseerysm same here. looks to me like she either stole his work or he stole hers.
July 15, 2008 at 01:24veronicarommok I dont know what is going on but that was not Gabrielle a child speaking that first night.
July 15, 2008 at 01:25veronicarommthe things and the manner in which she spoke was not natural and I sort of left the thread
July 15, 2008 at 01:25veronicarommthe paypal account duscussion climched it for me
July 15, 2008 at 01:26veronicarommthat and the well rehearsed sob story
July 15, 2008 at 01:27veronicarommbut i have been burned b4 so I just dont send money to anyone unless I see it with my eyes and its my mom
July 15, 2008 at 01:30Cindy Thomassayssadly, it is often easy to get caught up online in drama that turns out not to be real at all
July 15, 2008 at 01:30Cindy Thomassayswe want to believe people....
July 15, 2008 at 01:31LolagrrlsaysCindy Thomas you just summed it all up.
July 15, 2008 at 01:31veronicarommwe sure so. kust for clarification, how much cash did they recieve and when was the last time they were heard from?
July 15, 2008 at 01:33oyunfoundsaysi just have to say DAMN i hope i neer piss plurk off you guys are GOOOD
July 15, 2008 at 01:35JustJenI would also like to call out that AB+, though a rare blood type, is the BEST blood type to have
July 15, 2008 at 01:35veronicarommso anyone know how much money was collected
July 15, 2008 at 01:35ShimmerGeeknoone is pissed off... it's perfectly understandable to want proof before you send money to someone you don't know
July 15, 2008 at 01:35JustJenit
means you can basically take blood from ANYONE except people that are
RH-. She can receive transfusion from A+, B+, AB+ and O+
July 15, 2008 at 01:35ShimmerGeekaye... AB+ means you can get blood from anyone
July 15, 2008 at 01:35ShimmerGeekO- is the worst one to have
July 15, 2008 at 01:36veronicarommif you go to the thread, its what i said its universal
July 15, 2008 at 01:37ShimmerGeeki thought it was only RH- that could not take RH+; i'm pretty sure RH+ can receive either
July 15, 2008 at 01:37ShimmerGeekso AB+ can receive absolutely anything
July 15, 2008 at 01:38veronicarommmy mom is a nurse nurse and she is o- universal and AB+ is the easiest to match
July 15, 2008 at 01:39veronicarommjust called her, she asked if she anyone needed blood? lol my mommy is nice
July 15, 2008 at 01:40ShimmerGeekits why the give everyone O neg if they dont know the blood type; because ..
July 15, 2008 at 01:40ShimmerGeekif someone is given A or B but they don't have A or B type blood; theyre body will reject it because it seems foreign
July 15, 2008 at 01:40mscaprikellissharing her first thoughts: why is a child in charge of raising funds? where's Godfather with his update? Who's Dave Rice?
