Let's Surprise Jim Robinson
Little House on Unaka | September 30, 2013 | dono

It's coming right at us - The 4th quarter FReepathon.

Perhaps you are aware that the Founder of the site is dealing with a health matter, some details of which may be found here.

Jim Robinson is in need of FReeper Prayers [Jim's update in reply 522]

His major surgery in in a couple of hours. What about if we get a big jump on the fund raising right now, so when he is able to check back in, he has something to smile about - that being a big chunk of the goal met?

I find it unnecessary to justify the need. You may or may not agree. Won't argue or respond to flamers. (They will maybe take their shots.)

I usually donate annually in the 4th quarter. I went ahead and duplicated my last year donation plus 25%. I noticed it was applied to the 3rd qtr, since it is still September, but that's ok.

I just let PAYPAL do it!! Over 10 years, never had even a slight problem.

I have almost no access to the post office or anything else, 99% of all I have to handle is done online.

I do most shopping online, have a list of businesses who have proved they will do right by me and it works.

I couldn't possibly continue to add junk to my unparalleled hoard if I didn't have PAYPAL to help me!!

I now have almost every camera in the world that no one else wants!!

If I can't find anything else to do I can always lay in bed and take pictures of my toes!!!

Man is nothing without tools!!

I used to harp on that. Even coined the term “FReeploaders.” Jim asked me not to use it, and I have respected that. But, it’s still a good descriptive term.

You and onyx etc probably know what percentage here opens their wallet

I do know this and I will say it

There is a group here that has always detested our part of the country and consider my ancestry no better than Nazis

To a man...they are cheap.

Two strikes.

Folks should give what they can.

Everyone can’t be Big Texan but all can give something.

JR ain’t getting rich off this contrary to anti freeper whining

And what if he was?

Isn’t conservatism supportive of prospering

He could plaster the site with ads and make real money

Then they could really whine

I appreciate your efforts

I have never inquired on such, but my impression that Jim keeps that type of info to himself. It's never been his style to whine.

Actually we don’t know what percentage gives. The team only knows that some do not. And sometimes they brag about it.

You can look at the table of States and donors per state

And add it l up. And compare to registered posters

And it sure looks like...to me....that maybe one in ten donates...if that

Its shameful and speaks poorly of folks who crow about duty and responsibility otherwise

Anyone can spare 10 bucks.....even the corner bum

Good thing I don’t help...I’d just piss everyone off

I hate moochers and laziness

I make a monthly donation, but I will send in an additional $100.00 for the first ten new monthly members we sign up.

Sounds good. Suggest you make that offer when the real FReepathon launches.

I’m sure there are some slackers as they’ve posted as much. But there are also those who just can’t give. I remember when I first started helping the FReepathon, a lady had lost her house, her Hubby was out of work and they were living with relatives. She sent $3. It was all they had. There are other FReepers in the same boat.
