(Thanks, B. :)

Your memory is at least partly correct - Raye did make a move from the California house her husband had (without her knowing it) double-mortgaged, leaving her with unmanageable expense when he died and the housing market had shifted dramatically. She did make the drive to Ohio (during which time a less destructive hacker got onto the RMN server), and yes, RMN Readers provided helpful support for her to do that.

When she arrived in Ohio, things were not as she'd been told they would be, in a number of different ways. She had expected to be able at least to reduce the monthly FundRazr (at that time, ChipIn) amount or even do away with it. But then having landed in Ohio, she found she simply couldn't, yet.

It's not that she's "misplaced" her bills. Rather, she did not receive those bills, for months - but then received the shutoff notices, stating very large bill amounts. Further, utility expenses have been extraordinarily high. She has a suspicion, but cannot prove, that her unwanted houseguest has had something to do with the size of those bills and with her not receiving them in a timely manner.

Should she somehow have realized the need to pay those bills anyway? Perhaps - but you're giving short shrift to a key factor: She really has been "under the weather" for a solid year, off and on, including more than one bout of pneumonia, making clarity of thought a bit rarer than you might expect.

Your thought about "law of attraction" is understandable, and one that's crossed my mind, too, while all this has been going on. But how one perceives what's happening has to do with one's particular perspective. One might perceive that what Rayelan has attracted is "loving friends and kind acquaintances, willing to help out in these moments of extraordinary need."

Re: To the Reader who wants to report RMN for ....

Dear Hobie,

I too question this continuous plea for money. Several years ago, Raye needed funds to move to Ohio. If I recall it right, she was going out there in a Winnebago, towing her collector's jeep behind. Then her house wasn't ready, she was ill, dogs were ill, all requiring more money. I did donate at that time though it seemed an awful lot of ?hard luck? for just one person.

This time around, its a bad lady who is out to get her. And now the handyman wants to kill her. She's ill, the dogs are ill, and she needs a lot of money to pay her bills, her server, and whatever else she has going in her life.

Raye has an article on her site that she has been a businesswoman for many years. And yet, she is unable to keep track of her money, her accounts and says another person has taken advantage of her and spent all her money. She forgot about this bill, and misplaced that bill......

Don't be so hard on those others that question what is going on because frankly, if this was any other person in your circle every person here would be saying ?what????? inside themselves. Even more, I am constantly thinking that RMN is a site that promotes law of attraction and law of prosperity............ but what has been attracted here, into this person's life?

I wish Raye well, and hope she can get her life on track. But if people question all this, perhaps there is more to this story. Perhaps others' intuition is ringing bells, just like mine is.

Just a thought.
