Let's Put this Freepathon to Rest
My own thoughts... | 05/01/08 | DoughtyOne

Posted on 05/01/2008 11:41:37 AM PDT by DoughtyOne

Hello Folks:

It's May 1st and I'd like to ask you for a little help. The current Freepathon started on April 1st. Here we are a month later and the total given or pledged is sputtering toward the finish line. I appreciate everyone's constributions to date. It's impressive that we come together like this to support the forum. Despite the great job that has been done, I still think we can do better.

We are still thousands from the goal. I'd like to put a big dent in the amount remaining to be covered. Will some of you please join me to end this today.

As soon as I hit the post key, I am going to contribute $100 more to the Freepathon. I would appreciate it if others would join me, and we could retire this Freepathon by late this afternoon.

Those who can, please join me with $100. Those who can't, how about $50 or $25.

We're not that far from the goal. A little over Fifty of us could end this thing. Are there fifty of you out there willing to join me?

How about it?

Thanks in advance to those who do join me. I appreciate it and I know Jim and John will also.

Oops, all kidding aside that was supposed to be Texans, not Texass. Ug.

[[I think Texass do have the biggest heads,]]

Naaa, we ladies just have “BIG HAIR”, lol.

What happened to that ‘big contributer’ who usually comes through right at the end?

Yeah, I’m my own worst enemy. I wrote Texass instead of Texans. Don’t you hate when that happens! Actually, I didn’t mean to do it. Oops.

I, too, am very, very sorry! ;-)

P.S. DO - I read your later post, realized where you were coming from, but had to log off quickly before I could post backatcha. However, things have worked out quite nicely I’d say.

So, yes, I’m sorry, truly sorry!!

Big hair... oh man and I thought I was on a roll.

I don’t know what happened to the person with that big roll of bills, but I sure wish they’d show up.

My roll of quarters impresses some people, but now the right crowd.

The only bills I have sit in a stack, not a roll.

Haven’t had so much fun in a few weeks. We’ll have to do this more often. ;-)

Hey no problem. Glad to have you back. Did you bring your wallet?

I’m just asking because Brad’s Gramma noticed it earlier and wanted to take a look at it privately... while you were in the next room, with the rest of us on the thread keeping you busy. Heh heh heh...

You take care.

Hmmm, I’m thinking we may have to draft someone.

Watch who sticks around to the end and think parking lot.

I’ve given a couple of times in the past, but am starting to wonder about the high $$ amount shown as spending on monthly “administration and programming expenses”. Perhaps others would be more generous if they better understood where their money was going.

I don’t know what I’m sorry for! I just got the memo that if I said I was sorry, some freepers were going to pony up more for the ‘Thon.

If I feel something about your coffeemaker, will that earn FR some more dough too? :)

Boy howdy.....you’re as confused as I am, huh? That is NOTHING to be proud of...

Pity the coffee maker. PLEASE pity it....
