"Please tell Alexis to keep her toys and mementos! While the children's generosity is joyously noble, any amount they might raise would be a drop in the bucket, probably less than most of us would spend on coffee in a day."

None of us can know how much a "drop in the bucket" would mean to Gungi and his family. Maybe the amount of money that sweet Alexis could raise would buy just one more pain pill for Gungi, or one more meal for his family, or one more day of treatment. I would gladly give up my coffee for a day or for a thousand days if it meant that he had one more day (or a thousand days) on Earth with his family.

Alexis, if you still want to sell your toys, tell your Mom to get hold of me. I will buy them if you will give the money to Gungi, and then I will give your toys to our local womans' shelter. That way we can both help lot's of people. :)

I want to see TFF live, come to the Canary Islands :(
Will you?:)

Curt, TFF, great music,

O.K. I have been trying for over an hour to crack the secret password for pre-sale tickets that started today. I have emailed several Phoenix stations asking and even called the event center and talked to a very nice young man, but he wouldn't give me the code. Oh well, I'll just have to wait until Friday. Can't say I didn't try.

A true die hard TFF fan

Curt,
Ok. Thanks. If you are ok with them, then so am I.I still was trying to figure out how to delete them. Guess I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. I am sorry it was that long. Thanks for writing me. It means so much, much more than you know. I think you are so GREAT. I think the man you are is far better than I could have ever hoped to imagine. The rock star I have loved more than half my life cannot compare to the man behind the group. YOU ARE AWESOME. Do you know that? ( Alexis wrote you again but I DID NOT let her read any of the comments written AFTER her first one. She wanted to write whatever cause in her brain it is still thinking of GUNGI. She cares so much for you and thinks so highly of you that she feels STRONGLY about supporting you and Gungi because of how she thinks and looks up to you. She wishes to see you again. I might call Mcabes and see if we can all go to see you. I cant go to the TFF concerts because ALL 4 kids want to go. So, we shall see. Right now though, if i think about it, that money I spend maybe would be better for gungi. No offense. We LOVE to see and hear you.
NANA STILL talks of you. Yes, fellow KOOKS, I took MY 89 YEAR OLD NANA TO SEE CURT. TWICE NOW. She might be the oldest KOOK!!!!! U think????

Hello Everyone,
I am so sorry I let Alexis write to Curt. I DID NOT mean to cause any more disruptions. If by letting my daughter talk to Curt, which is the only way a fan can really talk to him since he is so active, and BELIEVE ME, she is a tiny OOBER FAN to say the least. (Hope I spelled that right) I am sure she DID NOT mean to make anyone indifferent or upset. I read the things and sometimes I will tell her updates on what curt is doing. I DO NOT let her on here by herself. (other wise she would be on here ALL THE TIME) She does like to look at the pics with me though. It is her way of keeping track of Diva and Wilder. I understand what claire was meaning. I know there is bogus stuff. I am not mad. (although there are times I will be FIERCELY protective of my babies, this time I sort of saw where the concern was coming from, even though it might have been false in this case. ALot of people dont know though)
So everyone knows, claire and others, once again. I was 4 months pregnant with alexis when my grandpa's or TATA's retna detached. He could no longer drive. So, I drove them ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE they needed to go. Pregnant and ALL. I have always been close to them, Nana took care of me while my parents worked. After HS, College,being a recurring extra on the power rangers and a marriage, they could NOT get rid of me. I am what you call attached at the hip. My hubby of 15 years and I have always visited with them, took them to dinner, movies or whatever. Not because we had to at the time, but because we wanted to and enjoy their company. So, EACH of my kids were born into this life where they had their parents, but also, a constant presence, a DAILY presence of their great Nana and Tata. They have seen me push him in wheelchairs up to 9 months pregnant. Take them everywhere. Care for them in sickness. Rush them to the hospitals. Called 911 at times. (in the last 4 weeks of tata's life..etc. The last months I was pretty much a 24/7 nurse. Kids are smart. They see things we dont realize. People may judge me and think I am horrible or ridiculous for pushing him while 9 months pregnant or whatever else about me they care to. I am not perfect. I get misunderstood like everyone. I have had to make sacrifices. I don't feel bad at what I have given up because what I have gained is more than any one person deserves. To have Nana and tata in my life. That is a gift for which I will ALWAYS cherish. My love for them is deep. My kids feel so deep for them as I do. However I am judged, or thought of, I can say this about the children I have the pleasure of raising.
My 9 year old son, while grocery shopping, if he see's an elderly couple or person going out to their car, he will rush to help put their stuff in their car. He has done this SEVERAL times. Sometimes he will get a quarter but does it for other reasons. When I first saw him do this, and EVERYTIME there after, My eyes fill with tears of pride. I think I have done something right.
Me and ALL 4 of my kids, try to help where we can. If we cant help, we will pray or talk to people who can help. One way or another, we get what needs to be done.
ALL my kids are more sentimental with kids or elderly but do have compassion for anyone. From Alexis to my 3 year old, Will help who they can. They like to hug people.
They also would go with me to the convalescent hospital the last 11 days of tata's life. They were NEVER disgusted or repulsed by anyone who was NOT tata. Even adults I have seen have. NOT MY KIDS THOUGH. Everyday at lunch they would look forward to meeting and greeting the elderly as they ate. They would make rounds to peoples rooms who never get visitors. Even ones that do get visitors. They would hug and talk to each one, never forgetting anyone. They dont make fun of anyone with disabilties either. Oh how the people loved it. You could see they look forward to seeing my kids. The staff says they dont see kids like mine. ( I have taken a hiatus. Alexis and the rest are bugging me to go back cause they WANT to, on their own. NO FORCING.) but right now, it still sort of hurts too much. ANYONE can see the LOVE we have for nana and tata on my myspace. I have a BEAUTIFUL memorial dvd. I am unblocked and NOT set to private. There are enough pics on there for proof of the profound deepness we have for them. TONS and tons of pics as evidence. I made it myself. The songs are wonderful and after watching that brief memorial, you will come away with a sense of what I am writing. Worth seeing. Find me at tff2632@aol.com or Tata's Girl Forever. (I am not on Curts myspace cause I still CANNOT get accepted still.)
We also visit my friend Frank who is now a vegetable. He is only 22. They aren't afraid to touch him. They sing to him. Talk to him. They NEVER treated him different at first sight. MOST kids would be distant. Not mine. They are right there as if they didnt see his difference from others.
We collect clothes for the convalescent home. People dont realize that families dont give them much. (So just remember, if you or anyone dont need old clothes, we will gladly accept them. Sorry for the plug but it is so necessary.)
We give their old clothes to certain kids we have come to find who really need it. We may not have a big home. Or fancy cars. My kids get alot of love and attention. Sometimes too much. They dont want for or need anything. We do buy them special treats every now and then. So you see, we do do alot of action. We also save stray animals and get them well and take them to adoption agencies. We do NOT believe on killing an animal that had no choice of why they are here.
My daughter doesnt know Gungi. All she knows is someone needs help. My kids ALL my kids want to help. Another thing is Alexis and the kids do know that Curt and Roland are trying to help and that it is someone they consider a friend. Someone they care enough about to try to help.
That is all these BEAUTIFUL kids of mine care about.
Thank you Curt and Suzanne. Suzanne, thank you for the kind words you said about me and Alexis. I told you you were beautiful inside and out!!!! Thanks so much to the other kooks and to Claire. I am sorry. I will NOT let her write anything anymore.
But please note Curt, that she meant it from the heart. It was not set by me. Nor was it forced by me. Thought of by me. Orchestrated by me...etc.
She did not mean it as a stunt to get your attention. She just merely wanted to talk to you and ask you what she could do and give you her ideas. She didnt mean it as anything else. So sorry.
But she still wants to ask you just ONE thing that still bothers her. She wants to know, at the creative commons, when she walked in and looked around for you, how did you know it was her. She said you said something like, oh, theres alexis. She has to know how you knew that. If not, she will ask you in person the next time we can see you. : )
Once again, so sorry.

Claire - although Papa Smith said it best, I too was upset by your post. I've held fundraisers for Gungi through that site (the Pampered Chef link in the links section is to my website. And if anyone wants to make a purchase through my website, I'll still donate my commissions to Gungi...) He's been battling this for some time and Curt wouldn't lend his name and reputation to something that wasn't above board. If you haven't noticed, he's quite active here and if the ebay auctions weren't on the level, he surely wouldn't have left the posts about it on here! It's kind of common sense, you know???

I think it's great that Margie is raising children that are empathetic enough to want to donate things that are meaningful to them to help another out. As for everyone here, even if you can't afford to bid then at the very least, say a prayer for Gungi. He certainly can use that...

Keep up the great efforts Curt, Gungi's blessed to have a friend like you.

Bravo Curt! Well said.

In case anyone is wondering if Gungi is real here's the link to the site.

Please tell Alexis to keep her toys and mementos! While the children's generosity is joyously noble, any amount they might raise would be a drop in the bucket, probably less than most of us would spend on coffee in a day. I'm leery of this whole thing. More than a year ago a friend of mine was outbid on one of these auctions. The auction stated that the item was one of six. The friend twice emailed an inquiry about a second chance offer, an opportunity to easily double the amount earned by the auction without any effort, an additional amount over $200. The emails were never answered. The rest of those items were never auctioned. They must not have wanted my friend's money. The official site for this has not been updated in over 2 years. I wouldn't give to any charity that hasn't updated its site in 2 years. Please have your lovely children donate their time instead: visit the elderly, walk dogs or play with cats at the animal shelter... and may God Bless Them.

Hi Curt and EVERYONE, Alexis wants to write. So, I am going to let her.

Hi curt

Well tell diva and wilder i said hi and do they still have their build a bears? I hope so. I love them. I might sell some of mine at the yard sale. My birthday is august 13th. I will be 12.
