OMGIH.
That is like, my worst nightmare (aside from 
being locked in a room with bees ^_^;;).  
Thankfully I havent had anything big, or of 
dreamlike status get lost or damaged.  I think my 
day will come though, just as it unfortunately 
has for a lot of you out there.  I CAN understand 
your money plight though.  Im having to all but 
stop collecting.  The money just got to be too 
much for me to handle.  This Christmas, I had 
lost my 350$ pair of glasses, and I owed my folks 
a grand from dental work last year, which, some 
of you know a lot more about ^_~**.  I've had to 
liquidate my FY cel collection, which just kills 
me to do, but I cant let a thousand dollars just 
not go back to where it belongs.  You know, the 
post office is pretty good with lost things, 
since it is federally regulated.  Maybe someone 
accidentally picked it up.  Give it a little 
time, remember, things happen for a reason.  Im 
fully convinced of that.  I know that doesnt make 
losing so many lovely cels, or that much money, 
any easier to face, but it's a little comfort.  I 
hope things get better for you though ;_;.  God 
doesnt give you any more than you can handle, 
trust me on that one.  Best wishes, I sure hope 
those cels turn up for you!!!!
