TO: Karyn
SUBJECT: Fashion Emergency

Hey Karyn,

The other night I had a dream that I was a cheerleader and the top of our uniform was a bright banana yellow (not lemon yellow) short sleeve Member's Only jacket. I looked pretty haught in it. Anyway, after the dream I figured that was a sign that it was time to track down a Members Only jacket and put it into my fashion mix. I love to mix vintage with current gear. So, I called my friend who just opened a vintage shop in Miami, and she had some dead stock Members Only jackets, so I had her send me a bright white one. Its just as nice and strapy as I remember it from 6th grade.

Do you think the dream was really a sign? Or do you think its way too early to mix Members Only with my Prada and D&G?

Joe

TO: Joe
SUBJECT: Re: Fashion Emergency

Dear Joe,

I so believe in signs, and I feel that you, my dear friend Joe, received one. A Member's Only jacket can be very cool when worn properly. And it's definitely wise to mix it with some hot D&G or Prada to show that you are not some out of work actor left over from a very special Blossom...

I'd like to also commend you on the color choice. A white crisp jacket is really the way to go. Although the yellow might have potential, it's best not to take chances with this one. The white will be much more versatile...

I'd like to leave you on this parting note, Joe. Fashion and style is much more of an attitude than anything. If you wear that jacket and feel like a superstar, then you will be a superstar. If you wear it and are unsure about whether or not it looks cool, then you will look unsure of yourself, and therefore look like a moron. If you wear it, own it, live it, love it - the you, Joe, will be just fine.

Dear Greg,

Thanks for the $5. I'm glad to hear I am your queen. Better than being your bitch, I suppose. And good to hear you may be cutting back on the beer this weekend. Girls don't like guys that drink too much beer. They slur their speech, spit a lot... It can just get really messy.

It sounds like you may have had some bad experiences with beer and chicks mixing in the past. Greg, don't feel bad. Just like love can make you do stupid things, so can beer. So good luck. Let me know how you make out.

SUBJECT: URGENT HELP NEEDED

KARYN-

A co-worker of mine and I read your website daily to help us in our similar endeavors to live on a budget. You see we too have recently been thrust into income levels that threaten our former "pop-queen" lifestyles. We have new jobs that simply can't justify the spending habits we were accustomed to in the past.

ANYWAYS, we have been good frugal city folk for almost a month now: taking public transit instead of cabs, making our own lunch, buying generic frozen concentrated OJ (I know, but something's gotta give). Then just yesterday we were presented with what appears to be an impossible expense to pass up: Cher, the diva beauty incarnate, is coming to town.

How could we pass this up? How could we justify the $200 expense? Would Cher understand? Surely our pop-queen memberships would be revoked for missing such a monumental event. Are there welfare packages for such crises?

Please advise oh budget goddess.

SUBJECT: Re: URGENT HELP NEEDED

Dear Ted,

Looks like you got yourself into a pickle. Let me start by saying, I totally understand what you are going through. Exactly what happened to you, is exactly what happened to me.

This is my advice... Like a pair of Prada shoes for $100, some things in life are just too good to pass up. And Cher, my dear, is one of them. You may be on a budget, but when you look back in 20 years, do you want your memories to be of frozen OJ or Cher? My guess is Cher.

Now, I had the pleasure of seeing Cher from the seventh row before. Not trying to rub the row in your face or anything, but I REALLY got to see Cher (from the seventh row.) And that Cher just rocks! She was coming out of the ceiling on a swing... wearing all these wigs... lip-syncing, er- I mean, singing her heart out... all for her fans! Just like beauty magazines, Cher makes you want to be a better person.

So, go to the concert. Forgo the OJ. Skip a few breakfasts. CHER WOULD GO IF SHE WERE YOU. Don't buy the program, I'll give you mine if you want it. And, don't buy the beer. Bring a flask or something. Those arenas are such a rip off! Go and sing! Go and dance! Your pop-queen meberships are on the line.

Just to put some order in your world I thought I'd let you know that Bill Buckner is now living in the Boise, Idaho area. My cousin built his house, a nice big one.

Once your debt is paid off, buy yourself a ticket to the land of famous potatoes and do a little stalking...

I don't figure you for much of a stalker, but it would make for a pretty economical vacation!

SUBJECT: Re: Bill Buckner

Dear S,

Thank you for putting my mind at ease. I had many crushes when I was little. But none of them affected me quite like Bill Buckner. My sister and I would play house and often have fictitious husbands. We were bored I guess... There was Eric Estrada from Chips, the blond guy from Starsky and Hutch, Bo Duke, Shawn Cassidy... I even liked Sonny Bono.

But when I first laid eyes on one Bill Buckner through a pair of binoculars at a Cubs game, all my other "husbands" vanished. That Bill was a looker.

So, thanks for letting me know his whereabouts. I'm not a stalker, so I doubt I'll find myself in Idaho anytime soon. If you see him around, tell him I say, "Hey there!"

I just have one more question? Since you know where Bill Buckner has been, how about Axl Rose? Where’s he been hiding? Just wonderin'...

Thanks,
Karyn

SUBJECT: Message from Manchester, UK

Hi Karyn,

This morning, before I left home I gave my wife a kiss. I did this not because I wanted to, but because I know she likes it. I also kicked my wife's cat quite hard this morning because it was behaving in a sinister manner and I suspected it of being up to something. Now according to your theories I should have derived pleasure from kissing my wife and not from kicking the cat. I have to tell you this was not the case. Kissing my wife was a thoroughly unpleasant experience; kicking her cat was delicious.

I have tested your theory and it doesn't work.

You are therefore obtaining money by deception, and that my dear is fraud.

Chris
:::::
FROM: Karyn
TO: Chris
SUBJECT: Re: Message from Manchester, UK

Dear Chris,

I don't care about your wife, but you should have never kicked the cat. Maybe you shouldn't have married your wife if you derive such little pleasure kissing her. Chris, was she the only woman you could get? Or Chris, has she turned bitter toward you due to your less than stellar performance in the bedroom?

The poor defenseless little cat that you kicked may have been up to something, but who's to say you did not deserve whatever he was up to? Cats have a good sense about people. If he was digging around your closet looking for a shoe of yours to pee in, my guess is that you deserve it. My cat peed on my bed once or twice, and it was because I wasn't giving him the attention he needed.

So Chris, I suggest you kiss your cat, AND kiss your wife again LIKE YOU MEAN IT. Do some push ups. Get some Viagra. Try to spice up your love in the bedroom. Maybe that'll fix your problems.

Dear L,

You know, the expected thing for me to do would be to send you some smart-alec response laden with exclamation points. But I'm not going to do that.

I am just going to say that I am sorry if my over-use of exclamation points makes you feel uncomfortable. I use exclamation points to show that I am excited about what I am saying. And I use them to show how happy I am. Yes, I may be buried in debt, but I am happy.

So, I'm sorry if me being happy somehow makes you feel uncomfortable. But it is just who I am. Sometimes I get so excited that I can't sit in my chair. And for me, the only way to properly convey that to you is to use an abundance of exclamation points. So, 'til later, g'bye!

Here are some tickets to a Yankees game that you can sell. Thought they would be better to send than a buck. Keep up the good work and faith in people. I think you will be out of debt by the new year!

Good Luck Karyn,

PS - Hope this is cool enough to be mentioned on the website...
:::::
Dear yankeebear,

Thank you so much! I am so excited! I'd love to go to the game, but I don't know too much about baseball. I'm the girl who likes to sit in the bleachers, drink beer and talk to my friends. When I was little, I attended quite a few Cubs games and actually developed quite a crush on one Bill Buckner... no idea what happened to him except that I hear he dropped a ball or something and his career hit the can...

Anywho... I am auctioning off the tickets on eBay. Click here for a link to the auction...

UPDATE: THE TICKETS SOLD FOR $41. THE LADY WHO WON THE AUCTION BLEW ME OFF AND DIDN'T PAY. THAT'S CRAPPY. SO I GAVE THEM TO A TEENAGE BOY I SAW PLAYING BALL WITH HIS FRIENDS DOWN THE STREET FROM WHERE I LIVE. IT WAS ONE HOUR BEFORE THE GAME, BUT HE WAS STILL EXCITED TO GET THEM AND GO. HE HAD A MOUTH FULL OF BRACES AND A SAMMY SOSA JERSEY ON. I HOPE HE HAD A GOOD TIME. PS - I KNOW SAMMY SOSA DOESN'T PLAY FOR THE YANKEES.

Thanks again! You should be the lead singer in a rock and roll band...

Hi Karyn,

I'm currently drunk on cheap canadian beer and have absolutely no intention of sending you a dime. But your web site is still funny. I don't care about your financial problems, hell I don't even care about mine. You know why I don't care? Because that's what cheap canadian beer will do to you! Just thought you'd be very interested in knowing this...

Etibur
:::::
Dear Etibur,

You say that you don't care about your financial problems. I can look at this two ways...

Way 1... Drowning away your financial woes in beer is no solution to your problems. And CHEAP beer just makes matters worse. That means you'll wake up with a horrible headache and hangover much worse than if you just drowned your sorrows in regular good beer.

Way 2... But I guess being in financial trouble and all is probably the reason you bought the cheap beer, because it was cheaper. So kudos to you on that one for living within your means! You are on your way to fixing your financial problems!

Thanks for the email! Save your dimes for your own financial debt! Or save your dimes to buy better beer! Or save your dimes to buy the same cheap canadian beer you've been buying! Good luck!

XOXO,
Karyn

SUBJECT: I'm concerned...

Dear Karyn -

Perusing your site, I noticed you have a cat on your shoulder on the Daily mE-Mail page. As a lover of cats (purely platonic, mind you), I'm always concerned about the possibility of cyber stalkers trolling for our defenseless furry companions. I think you know what I'm talking about.

Kitty porn is not to be taken lightly. Thousands of kitties are abducted every year and forced to wear hot pink g-strings and shave their tails for a small contingent of thrill-seeking pervos with too much money and Astroglide on their hands. These disgusting deviants scan the internet fervently, looking for potential targets. When we post pictures of young felines on the internet, these people send out an elite, highly-organized cadre of professional cat-snatchers (more commonly known as: the mailman; the pizza delivery guy; the cable guy; old Miss Henderson down the hall; and several Liberace impersonators) to abduct our furry friends. It's only a matter of days before the small, innocent kittens are hooked on the devil's weed (catnip) and rolling about in fishnet stockings looking desperate for the camera.

I notice you have placed a black bar over kitty's eyes to lend some anonymity, but you know as well as I it's not the eyes that identify one cat from another. A good whiff of a hind-end and the target can be confirmed to 97.1% accuracy! These people don't fool around, Karyn!

So, I beg of you - please leave the defenseless ones anonymous, so that the fur fetishists are not tempted to come take kitty away.

Thank you for your time, and good luck with the bills.

Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Re: I'm concerned...

Dear hosemedown,

I thank you for your concern regarding kitty porn. Kitty porn IS a serious matter, and I agree, it should not be taken lightly. I'll be honest... the cat has had a few run-ins with kitty porn in the past. I'd be lying if I said I never walked in on him humping a fluffy blanket before... Fixed he may be, but horny he still is. He was "makin' muffins" or whatever people like to call it these days. He was really going to town. I don't know if anyone else was involved in the humping, but I put a stop to it as soon as I walked in. The fluffy blanket in question has been put away.

As for the bar accross his eyes, it was placed there so his other kitty friends wouldn't find out that his mother was selling herself on the internet for a few bucks... He's got a reputation to protect. Me, I don't.

So, thanks for the warning. I'll be on the look-out for the deviants you refer to. But taking into consideration the cat's previous humping experiences, he may be into that sort of thing...

Thanks again,
Karyn

hi again karyn...

i read your daily buck about the roach. this is my advice to keep the buggers to a minimum. if its food and its open, stick it in the fridge or ziplock bags. Clean all dishes. gets some bleach and some water---mix together in a old hairspray bottle and spray everything down---they hate the smell. I had an apartment and cause of the foilthy mofos next door we stated to get them. when i saw my first one i thoughnt it was a fluke---then i saw another when company was visiting---it was on the stove---I screamed and then cried as my friend kimmy held me---chris her husband killed it with a spoon rest. I had never seen a roach before that. My roommae blamed me---she blamed me for everything that happened. chaos follows me wherever i go.

anyways im glad to hear your cat got him cornered---those things are ultra fast too. it sounds like the lil guy earns his keep inspite of puking a lot. anyways good luck with the roaches---and remember---dont wear black when cleaning with bleach---it will make you sad inside.

Dear Nina,

Thank you so much for your advice regarding roaches. Roaches are a horrible thing indeed. And your friend Kimmy and her husband sound like good people. I do not want you to think I am a "foilthy mofo" or anything because I have a very clean apartment. I figure the darn thing ran in from outside. Do they do that? I swear he flew too. Do roaches fly? I thought he was going to come straight at my face.

The cat does earn his keep. He barfed twice yesterday. But thanks to my quick reflexes, he missed the bed and the rug. I picked him up mid-barf and held him over the wood floor. It was gross. He barfed "on the move" you could say. He's been eating Deli Cat this week, and I just don't think he likes it very much. Even though I'm not supposed to spend money, I bought some stuff called Petromalt to help him not barf. It's supposed to get rid of fur balls. I just got it, so I'll let you know how it works.

Anywho, it's not good to be sad inside, so I'll remember not to wear black when cleaning.

Thanks,
Karyn

Dear Illiterate Asshole,

1) Yes I actually expect people to buy my stuff. Not "my stuff for." It's nice stuff, so why shouldn't people buy it? So you are right, that is what they basically are doing.

2) I've looked in my couch for change, and there is none.

3) I enjoyed being on 101.5, and as much as you think they might have wasted their time talking to me, you wasted your time listening to it, logging on to the internet, going to my website, looking through my auctions, figuring out how to email me, drafting your lame illiterate letter to me (I can't imagine that actually took you that long), and pushing the send button on your email. Now that seems like YOU wasted a lot more time on me than they they did.

4) "Goochi" is spelled "G-U-C-C-I"

5) I got myself in "D-E-B-T" not "Dept", unless you think I got lost in a department of some sorts. A department STORE maybe, but not a department.

6) And I AM getting myself out of D-E-B-T. So thanks for the advice.

Although I recognize the cruel, unsavory banking establishment doesn't recognize the barter system, I have a vintage piece of memorbilia from the heady days of Footloose, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Silver Spoons, and the like.

It's an autographed "Alphonso's Breakin' Board." Unfortunately, I don't have the multi-flap, multi-zippered, red monstrosity of a leather jacket that accompanied it.

You recall the spleandor of watching Alphonso Riberro as Ricky's best friend on the teen-thriller Silver Spoons, or if you're too young, then certainly you'll recall his screen presence in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, playing Carlton, counterpart to his street-wise cousin Will.

In any event, I'd be willing to ship it to you F.O.B. for sale in your e-Bay collection. You're welcome to the proceeds to assist in defraying your credit card expenses w/out the hardship of a finder's fee OR I suppose I could send you one crisp dollar bill... your choice.

Best of luck.

Dear David,

I cannot contain my excitement!!! AHHHH!!!!

I LOVE (present tense) Silver Spoons! "Here we are face to face, a couple of Silver Spoons..."

AND The Fresh Prince... "Now... this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air." That Will is just so "street" compared to straight-laced Carlton...

The only problem I see in this "barter" is that it will be hard for me to part with the Alphonso's Breakin' Board once I receive it. But I understand that I must do it... I'm going to take a picture of me with the Breakin' Board before it goes. LOOK FOR IT ON THE WEBSITE SOON!

I'm just curious as why you HAVE an Alphonso's Breakin' Board? Autographed, none the less... I guess one might ask the same questions about me and Darrin's Dance Grooves VHS. I guess we know a good thing when we see it!

Thanks!
Karyn

PS - Oh, and you can keep the dollar in lieu of the finder's fee! I AM SO DAMN EXCITED!

I was at this bar the other night and I saw this really cute girl dancing. I really wanted to go up to her but I didn't, I am a chicken shit. So I left and went to another bar. While at that bar I got kicked out. So I went to the first bar again. I was feeling a little buzzed and was on the dance floor. I was thinking, I really like this girl's style. Then next thing I know she grabs me and starts dancing with me. I told her she was the most bueatifull girl I had seen all night (I wasnt lying either) and she hugged me, I am going to remember that one. We talked for a while and I found out she lives an hour and fifteen minutes away from me. I realy liked her, kind of wished I told her how bueatifull she was a few more times. Should I have gotten her number and called her? Maybe this is God's way of playin' with me. That's a long distance, but would it be too weird of we to even attempt to start a relationship over that distance?

SUBJECT: Re: none

I'm no love expert, but I'll give you my 2 cents about this...

First, don't be a chicken shit. Women hate wimpy men. Be confident & strong. If you go up and ask her to dance, and she says no, what's the big deal? So your ego takes a slight jab. It'll come back. Move on.

Second, Why did you get kicked out of the second bar? Too much liquor? Fight? Most women I know hate both of those things, so watch yourself. I don't know your age, but you can't act like a college boy forever.

Third, so you move to the dance floor, and she grabs you. If you approached her in the first place, you could have avoided the fight at the second bar, and met her while you were sober and could have possibly formed a nice relationship.

Fourth, women LOVE compliments, so KUDOS to you on telling her she was beautiful...

Fifth, and hour and 15 is NOTHING! People have relationships accross the country. If it's right, it'll happen.

Sixth, yes you should have gotten her number. But you didn't and you now have to fix that. So go back to the bar this weekend. Drink less, talk more.

Seventh, God doesn't play with you. It's life. You'll have your ups and you'll have your downs. But don't blame it on God.

So Ian, Good luck and keep me posted!

I know, you don't want anyone to see your face. I did, however, get a good look at the top of your head in today's NY Times. Karyn, those are highlights in your hair, are they not?

When I went on a budget, those were one of the first things I had to learn to do without. Yeah, I loved 'em. But I finally came to understand that that $150-plus, every few months, belongs to First USA now. (Yes, I have major CC debt, too.)

It's hard, I know, but you can (temporarily) live without highlights.

Dear Cara,

Yes, those are highlights in my hair. However, I'd like to defend myself. I received those highlights in the beginning of April. AND it was a partial, not a whole head. Since April, I have used Loreal Preference, Shade 7-1/2A (The "A" is for ash - it's not as brassy as the others) to touch up my roots. Please take another look at the photo and try to see that the highlights start half way down my head. I am very careful not to get the Preference on the highlights, because I am trying to preserve them as long as possible.

So, I'm okay so far without highlights and we are going into August. But thank you for calling me on that. And I hope I answered your question.

BigFatKoi said that you have a nice rack, but I have been searching your site for a few minutes here and can't find a picture of it anywhere. Please send me the link to this picture.

Also, I would certainly pay you for a wet t-shirt picture, and if it would make you feel better I would send you a picture of me in wet boxer shorts. Anyways think about it.

Dear LAI,

There is no picture of my "rack" on the site. BigFatKoi said he was "fantasizing about me" and then told me I had a "nice rack," which means he was fantasizing about my "nice rack" in his fantasy. Get it? So I will not be sending you a link.

I also will not be selling you a picture of me in a wet t-shirt for fear that you will get too excited, fall off your lay-z-boy, and maybe hurt yourself. I don't want to be responsible for that.

And although I'm sure you in a pair of wet shorts would make for a "juicy" picture, something's telling me to steer clear of that one too. So good luck!
:::::
UPDATE: I got this email from Lai after I posted his original email...

I resent the implication that I own a lazy boy. I am not fat, and I certainly wouldn't own anything with the word "lazy" in it. I fact I am the opposite of lazy. I send over 8 hours a week in the gym. Why do I spend all this time? Because I am self centered and shallow. And I certainly wouldnt be hurt falling out of a lazy boy. Good luck with your debt. You should try some protein shakes, for $40 you could get a 5 lb bucket of whey protein at GNC, that would feed you for a month!

Thanks for the heads up regarding fat asses. However, I don't think it's very nice of you to refer to someone as being a "fat ass." Some people just can't help it if they're a fat ass. Sometimes having a fat ass runs in the family, and sometimes being a fat ass is just a symptom of a deeper emotional issue.

And who's to say that having a fat ass is bad? Some people prefer fat asses to skinny bony asses, so to each his own, huh?

Either way, I will definitely "watch out" next time I go to Western Australia. However, I don't think that will be happening any time soon because of my debt. So, send a buck if you can!

SUBJECT: My dvd addiction sent me into credit card hell, and I am still there

Hi my name is Steve, and I owe $1,400 dollars to Mastercard. There I said it and I feel better :)

I have been buying dvds almost every week for the last 5 months. My dvd shelf has begun to dwarf a small child, and I am worried it will soon overflow and consume my very being. It all began with my love of movies, a movie here and a movie there. Some of my favorites at first, and then movies I didn't like a whole lot, but felt I needed anyway. Then the problem took a nasty turn as I investigated movies I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE, but had to have.

I have 15 dvds on order right now, with no hope of paying for them. I truthfully can not stop. I would donate a dollar to your cause, but I can't even donate enough to my credit card bill! I have begun contemplating selling off... my Stanley Kubrick collection, the crown jewel of my collection. I don't know if you are into movies or not, but this is the big momma of dvd collections, it has Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut, The Shining, 2001 Space Oddysey... I am getting teary eyed thinking of losing it right now.

Well just thought I would let you know that there are other 20 somethings who have serious debt problems. Any advice as to how to stop the downward spiral?

Thanks
Steve

SUBJECT: My dvd addiction sent me into credit card hell, and I am still there

Dear Steve,

I am sorry to hear about your addiction to DVDs. I don't know too much about DVD addiction, but i'm guessing it could get really ugly. I feel your pain.

If it makes you feel better, I too had a horrible addiction that I had to overcome. Even saying the word sends shivers up my spine... so I am gonna whisper it to you ... shh... i was addicted to ...lipgloss. There I said it. I, STEVE, WAS ADDICTED TO LIPGLOSS. Gosh, it pains me just to think about it. There was Mac, Givenchy, Prescriptives (the motherload!), T LeClerc, Nars, Bobbi Brown - the list goes on. I even bought Bonnie Bell once or twice. But I overcame it, and you can too.

Steve, I have received hundreds of e-mails from 20-somethings just like us in debt. So, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And $1,400 is not that bad. Just don't let it get any higher and start paying it back now.

What I am about to suggest may sound crazy, but I ask you to please NOT press the back button on your browser. I think that you should sell all of your DVDs. Even the Stanley Kubrick collection. You may find something strangely satisfying about not having any those damn DVDs around to clog up your thinking space.

However, I am NOT really in the position of giving advice. After all, I am a woman who ran up $20,000 in debt by buying a bunch of designer crap.

Take it one day at a time Steve, baby steps... baby steps... it'll be okay...

SUBJECT: NYC water-rest easy

Karyn- I'm a Occupational Safety guy, working privately, not for government agencies-- but you have nothing to fear in NYC water-- and in fact, it is probably cleaner than most communities in the country-- here's a short synopsis of why--NYC's reservoirs are comprised by a watershed area of over 1900 square miles. Both by ground filtration. and a process of sand filtering, impurities are removed before going to the processing point-- where, they are super chlorinated (or run through a bath of 30% sodium hypochlorate), recombined, fluoridated (which besides added strength to teeth, also acts as an additional barrier to organisms), and then chlorinated again at several delivery points along the tunnel network. In fact, several years ago, a terrorist attempt WAS made at the water supply-- and the organism were killed by the process. In fact, poisoning of the water supply is more fiction than fact, mostly because of the sheer volume of water-- we're talking billions of gallons. In order to deliver a chemical attack, the terrorists would basically have to deliver a supertanker quantity-- and that just ain't gonna happen. NYC water is consistently ranked among the best tasting water in the world-- in fact, Aquavita brand water is just refiltered NYC water, bottled by Coca Cola to unsuspecting idjits. Save your money on Brita filters-- NYC water is clean and safe, and by using aftermarket filters such as Brita, you are removing the effective amount of flouride, which means you will be increasing your dental bills down the road.

Hi Karyn,
A friend sent me your website and I read your story. It sounds like you're a nice person in a bad situation. It's soooo easy to let credit cards get the best of you. So, I'd like to send you $100 in exchange for sex. That's right SEX. If you have enough balls to ask for money, then I guess I have enough to ask for this. I know that $100 is kind of low, so I don't want to be insulting, but you didn't have a picture on your site, so I can't tell if you're cute or not. If you send a picture and you're really cute, I may be willing to go as high as $1000. Let me know.

First of all I'm cute - let's get that out of the way. I've also been referred to as HOT on countless occasions.

You see, I am hard up for cash. So I started a website called "Save Karyn" in which I ask people who can feel my pain to give me a buck - because bucks are what I need. In return they really get nothing.

But you seem to be hard up for some good sex, because you just offered to pay me for some. You didn't even ask me if I'd do it for free. I told people straight out that they weren't going to get anything in return for giving me a dollar. The most exciting thing they can do is watch my debt shrink, read some "Daily Bucks", or perhaps this e-mail from you.

So my advice to you is this: start a website. It's helped me, maybe one can help you too. Call it, "Save the Scarlett Turtle" and just straight out ask people for sex. I've gotten some bucks - you just might as well get yourself a nice piece of a**!

Anyway, gotta run and pay a bill. Take care! Good luck! Tell all your friends about my website! Maybe we can put links from mine to yours and vice-versa!

XOXO,
Karyn
