A checkmark next to my name on my public profile identifying me as a contributor would seem sort of tacky. Personally, I'd prefer to keep that record between FR staff and myself.

Our borough recreation association, which maintains the local lakes, trails, and ballfields, has an annual list of "Allstars" that get their name published in the newsletter if they send their dues before the end of January (the deadline is March). Seems to me that they're stigmatizing those of us who are usually a little tapped just after Christmas. I send the dues in February whether I can spare it in January or not.

Thanks, and you posted, "HI, there - yes I am in for $5/mo - is this part of Badjoe's fundraiser? If so, can I wait to add this to my commitment for then?"

No, this was just a selfish act on my part. I will be off the board tomorrow and most of Sunday.

Jim Robinson's data re the money needed kept coming in last night while I dreamed. This morning I woke up decided to start this 5,000 Freepers who care are needed now! thread.

So I doing this for selfish reasons as I will miss the official quarterly donation threads by BadJoe and others!

The math is basic and my request is simple, 5,000 Freepers who care are needed now! If 5,000 Freepers donate 5$/month, we can meet Jim's cash needs! All other donations will be like icing on top of the cake!

Hey, Big guy - so sorry you're getting called into work early - but, heck - you're the one that set the deadline!!!!!!

We're just trying to help, so you can leave with a clear conscience!!!

[BADJOE]

When you get the error message, the donation comes through to me anyway.

Please wait a couple of hours or till the next morning to see if you get a thankyou from me before resending.

Time to pay to play!

In the words (sort of) of the President of the United States, George W. Bush:

COUGH IT UP!!"

Another Bump for the cause!

"In my culture, there are five nickels to a quarter."
"In my quarter, there are four equal sides."

Can we call it even? A Draw? A Draw and Quarter...

"Thanks for being one of the 5,000 and the kind nudges!"

Don't the Jehova Witnesses believe that the first 5000 FReepers to donate will get into heaven automaticaally or somesuch?

$14 every two weeks would provide $70,000 a month, if 5,000 adopted the plan. That's one dollar a day. Come on folks, join the dollar a day plan. $14 every pay day isn't that bad. Go for it! Those than can, pay $2, $3 or more per day. It feels good to support your FreeRepublic.

#178 Yes, that, too. That was long ago, and it took me quite some time to figure out what they meant.

While we're talking money--did you hear about the young man went to New Orleans, stopped in a bar, ordered a drink, and put a $20 dollar bill on the bar. The bartender served the drink, took the $20, but an $18 bill on the bar.

The young man said, "hey that's no good". The bartender said, "sure it is, you take this to any bar or shop on this street and it's good.

So, off he went. Stopped in another bar, asked the bartender if he'd change the bill. The bartender said, "sure, how do you want it, 2-$9s or 3-$6s.

GONG, huh? ;-)

[Howlin]

Hey, I just took a shot at it. I swear I believe it's something my daddy use to say!

[PhiKapMom]

I received an email from BadJoe thanking me for the donation! It came about 10 minutes after I made the donation which is really fast work!

[Tauzero]

In for 5/month.

[BADJOE]

Since you started this 28 new Freepers and Lurkers have sent in new monthlies totaling $260.00

Thank you all.

BUMP.

Five bucks by credit card donation each month is painless. Actually, it feels real good!
