On Saturday, we went over to the west side of Olympia, and went through downtown Olympia, and then went to go on the bridge which goes over Percival Landing...Thats acutually the first time I had been over that way since the big earthquake last year...
That earthquake last year, really was supposed to have damaged that bridge, and sure enough, they have got it all torn up, and are building another bridge...its quite a mess right now, but I guess it will be much better once all the construction is done...
Amy reported Saturday 6-15-02 approximately $2300 in the mail box. Jim has received around 1800 from PayPal. I expected a total of $8200
Normally we do not expect the mail box to go empty till ten days after the Freepathon is over. That would be June 27th. This is very early in the mailbox game to have half of the expected already in. I used 1.2 as the Million Freeper Math Formula this time.
Methinks the 1.2 is a wee bit low. I wouldn't be surprized if the mailbox and Paypal would hit $12,000, which would put our total effort at $75,000 or 107% of our goal.
Stay tuned. I'll update on this thread as it happens.
You all did one hell of a fine job. I am so proud of you.
I don't wanna do it ...... Waaaaaaaa!
Thank you, Everyone, who donated or participated this quarter.
You guys are the best - now go out an enlist more FReepers!
I want to believe there's more of us - than "them."
Hey WIMom .. Lost Thread knows all about the uses of duck tape .. LOL
If ugly aversion works, and it must have, you done good! Real Good!
Consider the following.
During the Freepation
I received 439 non donation type E-mails
1,157 Donation related E-Mails
250 Freepmails
I sent 1021 E-mails, and at least 225 Freepmails
Total correspondence handled 3,868 not counting those deleted.
Now if you understand that I type with two fingers and one finger is notoriously bad. : ) this does require the skill of a one armed wallpaper hanger.
The average donation requires about three minutes of concentrated effort before the credit card numbers are even input to the processing company.
Without Willa's help, I'd be a blubbering idiot, and four days behind.
I am not telling you all this for sympathy. BUT. during the next Freepathon, if it "aint" real important, write your mother instead. She and I will both be very appreciative. : )
No reply please. ;-)
I love that damn bird.
