FYI
I have had limited contact with 2DD over the last couple of weeks. Her husband is aware of the whole messy situation, garage and all. She and her daughter are doing as well as possible under the circumstances. She is actively working with all of the debt counseling & relief services that are available to her through the military, in an effort to resolve this crisis. Her family and friends are there for her and are providing emotional comfort and support. Unfortunately, most of her daycare clients have gone away, and she is having difficulty attracting new business.
Some observations:
I must admit that, although not so eloquently stated, some valid points were brought up in previous posts by mattgg1, aarcuda, and rabbit. And in this day and age, a healthy amount of Internet cynicism is an absolute necessity.
Nonetheless, in her defense, 2DD has had MANY opportunities to take advantage of the charity of GJ members, and has refused. In fact, she stated very clearly in post #204 that she will not take any charity from this forum - period.
I think the only thing that 2DD is guilty of is good intentions gone bad.
Was the moniker "2DoubleDs" a mistake? Perhaps, but I'm sure it seemed clever at first (and it sure worked).
Were the garage mods a mistake? Yeah, maybe she should have thought it through a little bit more, but it appears that she and her husband, like so many other people, got caught up in the current home finance crisis sweeping the country, and the couple of thousand that she spent on an ill-timed garage makeover was irresponsible, but it probably didn't change the overall picture.
I know she is appreciative of everyone's moral support (and I believe she has stated that a number of times).
I wish her and her family all the best.

All this time they refused to talk to me, wouldn't work with me, were sending me all kinds of threatening letters and stuff. Then suddenly and out of the blue they sent this package with stuff for me to fill out basically saying "Lets make a deal"!! So lets all pray to God for a miracle and that we'll be able to keep this house. 
My husband uses that phrase all the time.
There, I feel so much better now.
