Why do these pledge periods have to take so long? For a measly $66,000, I would think the pledge period would only last about a week. If everyone who used this cite for longer, in a year, than they do reading a magazine subsciption, pledged the price of a magazine subscription, I believe the pledge amount would be met in about two days. I certainly hope the day never comes when I have to see "Cialis" ads blinking on the right side of the FR page so they can pay for bandwidth!
But come on these dramas and these grudge matches are nonsense for adults. Words are not bullets.
That's ok tho- ebb and flow grammy.
Good night, Gabz. Dogs in, GOOD.
"Hitting them in the pocketbook" was discussed in the context of impending opuses, on the WPPFF thread, in advance of the freepathon.
That's so wrong.
Whoops! Been busy this week and I haven't taken the time to submit my quarterly pledge. Lame excuse, only takes a minute or two via PayPal. ;)
Hey I noticed you registered the day after 9/11. When I found this place it really helped me keep it together after that day.
AGREED!
Thanks! I am pleased to hear that.
I think the Freepathons just before 'Tax Day' are always kinda slow.
Well, THIS time I believe you, as I was distracted with something else.
So? You're either in bed as you should be, or quietly lurking with one FR window open and a game window open.
I vonder vhich von it ist!
You seen any of the Freepathon threads? Newbies being called "dirtbags" and told to "cough it up".
Excellent...
She "stole" it from me. With my permission. It's just a joke, Bella...just a joke.
I agree....it was on my thread.
I say again and again....there ARE SOME FOLK who are having a tough go of it...and NO ONE AT ALL wants them to donate anything. Their families need to come first.
I find that distasteful, to put it mildly.
Feel free to use Gram...And pass it around freely! (beside that I didn't invent it my own self!)
I believe the opuses were timed for the first day of freepathon.
I doubt it. I know four of the OPUSed folks pretty well.
The FReepathon was not a consideration.
But let's play what if it were true:
The impact would be minimal.
Most of us donate thru PayPal.
I know my $1-a-Day is charged to me automatically.
If I OPUSed and quit, big deal: $30 whole dollars a month
or the sum total of $90 per FReepathon. The monthlies
haven't been added to the total yet, have they BG?
Man when Gramma gets mad.....uftah. Watch out! LOL.
I'm not really here, but will somebody tell me what in the heck is the WPPFF thread? I think I read every Terri S. thread and never did see all the acrimony that I'm hearing about now. I know it was and is a subject frought with emotion, but the threads did not seem any worse than some of the Elian threads, or even some of the "Theology" discussions that go on all the time. I wish people could make their points without the personal attacks or put-downs. It's really not that hard to refrain from calling someone stupid or a fool.
