White Trash Dream! Sell the kids on Ebay! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

BENTON, Ill. - A woman who offered two days in her "white trash dream" of a life for sale on eBay — including her two young daughters and depression medications — was reaching out for help, authorities said Thursday.

Benton Police Chief Michael O'Neill would not identify the woman, but said she is a 31-year-old resident of the town, about 90 miles southeast of St. Louis.

Authorities have asked the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to make sure the woman gets the services she needs to properly care for her daughters, ages 8 and 4, O'Neill said.

The woman used the name "givemeanewlife" in the posting on the eBay auction site earlier this week, urging readers to "please bid on my life so I can have some peace."

"I'm on the verge of a complete breakdown," she wrote. "What you get is to put up with these two crazy, unruly kids, and a white trash dream for two days. I get to take the money you bid with and do something nice for myself like sit in a roach motel for a day or two and sleep peacefully."

The woman wrote that she suffers from bipolar disorder, depression and borderline personality disorder. She said the winning bidder also could have her medications: "Although they don't seem to be working for me, they may work for you."

The auction violated eBay policy and was taken down Wednesday, within 24 hours of its posting, said company spokeswoman Kim Rubey. She said an internal investigator was assigned to help law enforcement acquire any necessary information.

O'Neill said he was alerted to the posting by television station KTVI of St. Louis.

O'Neill asked the Illinois State Police for help. He said the woman told state investigators that she was not serious about her offer.

"It was a reach out," O'Neill said, "a reach out for someone to talk to, a reach out for help."

State Police on Thursday referred all questions back to O'Neill's department. A Children and Family Services spokesman said he could neither confirm nor deny the agency is investigating the case without having the family's name.

I'm sure she wasn't. I didn't mean to drink and drive either. No, I didn't mean to kill that man.

I can help. Page for Drs Winchester, CCI, Remmington. Aim 22 at the head, squeeze trigger. Make sure you are on some dropcloth so as to leave a smaller mess.

Moments like this make me think of Jo Dee Messina

Artist: Messina Jo Dee
Song: My Give a Damn Is Busted
Album: Delicious Surprise

Well, you filled up my head with so many lies.
You twisted my heart till somethin' snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try,
But my give-a-damn's busted.

You can crawl back home, say you were wrong;
Stand out in the yard and cry all night long.
Well, go ahead and water the lawn:
My give-a-damn's busted.

I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:.
No, sorry: nothin'.

You can say you've got issues, you can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault,I mean after all you didn't pick 'em.
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen:
My give-a-damn's busted.

Well, your therapist says it was all a mistake:
A product of the Prozac and your co-dependent ways.
So who's your enabler these days?
My give-a-damn's busted.

I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:.
No, still nothin'.

It's a desperate situation, no tellin' what you'll do.
If I don't forgive you, you say your life is through.
C'mon, gimme somethin' I can use:
My give-a-damn's busted.

Well, I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:
No, Man sorry.
Just nothin', you know.
You've really done it this time, ha, ha.
My give-a-damn's busted.
