Hi,
It's time to renew the hosting plan for the monastery. It's $353 and I just don't have it. Donations are accepted.
Edit:
If you'd like to donate please PayPal darren_dickerson@innostorm.com. I have a $50 pledge already. If you'd like to post here and receive credit for your donation please do so. If you wish to remain anonymous then I'll just post a "thank you" here with the amount so we can keep track of where we are.
Thanks,
MB
I have never used PayPal yet. What are the alternatives and until when is the dough needed?

Mongo not know... You don't have to have a PayPal account to use PayPal. One can pay through PayPal with a debit/credit card. It's very secure and safe...
If I don't pay it in 30 days the account gets dropped and everything goes away...
Thank you very much for the generous donation of $50!
$303 total remaining...
Thank you so much, MB.
May we contact you privately, perhaps through the private message system here, and then you can give any trusted individual an address to which they might send a check?
But of course! :mrgreen:
Donation sent.
Please keep us up to date on how this is going!! I just hope we raise enough.
Thanks for the $47.66 donation Griff! $257.52 to go!
We'll be good for two more years after this at least...
$10 is all I really have to spare. D: Sent.

Indeed I did. It was the first I mentioned. Didn't know if you wanted me to mention your donation here or remain anonymous. Thank you very much!
$50 on its way. :D
Thanks Blue!
That's another $52.94 after it was converted to play money. :mrgreen:
$194.58 to go...

Are you sure? I did my pledge after your first post/edit of a pledge. I used your email, please verify.
I know I said $20., but my hand wrote $50. when I wasn't looking! :-*
Coming via snail mail...
Hey, leave some gap for me to fill! ;)

It was supposed to be a round $50 but I suppose I got the conversion factor wrong............. let me know if $2.34 is needed ;D

By my calculation we have a ways to go still. What we need is one of those thermometers, or perhaps a church steeple ;)
..............or a secret benefactor, hey don't Monasteries have benefactors? In fact, I would like the Library to be known as the Griffin Library or my money back :D
We could do that...
Nah! I was making a joke.................
Do we need to send out a begging email* to our infrequent siblings?
*if so, not the whole list, eg. not Duke or Dee Dee, and I think there are others not to send to.
OK, I sent the $50.00 pledge today.
Also, please post pictures of the plaque at the Griffin Library when we are clear for the next hosting period... ;)
Thanks Pieces!
Yeah Zone... It was Pieces pledge I was talking about... Thanks again!
Foriegn currency is converted and a bit is lost when it's converted to play-money. :mrgreen:
I just got a killer job in Dallas but keep the donations rolling if you can give 'cause I won't get a paycheck for a bit. The danger has past though. I'll be able to cover push come to shove.
Thank you all very much!
Get me that account (+ bank ID) number and you'll get some €€€ from me too provided that the financial world has not gone to hell by then (which the GOP is seemingly determined to facilitate next week).

Thank goodness. Been really worried about you. What's the job? Do you like Dallas? Hmm, this is Open Water.
Glad to hear about the job, MB!
All out thanks to donating siblings.
Well, I know I'm not the most active poster, although generally I manage to lurk here a bit most days in between other tasks, but I do feel a sense of part/joint ownership, so putting in my bit to defray the costs of running the site seems the least I could do. I add my thanks to all the other siblings who have chucked in, I only wish I was in a position to help out more, but things are going in the right direction even if that means I get to hang out here less, so in the future who knows what might be possible!
Always happy to see you here, Blue, in whatever capacity. :-*
Got your check Ops! Thank you very much!
No worries Blue! While I greatly appreciate donations it doesn't change my opinion of anyone whether they donate or not because I know not everybody can donate.
$157.52 to go I believe.
Yeay!!! :-* :-* :-*
The money should be on its way to you. Just notify me by personal message once it arrives (or has not within the week).
Hooray for Swato!
We'll be looking for an update from MB.
Will do! Thanks Swato!
Just in order to clarify and not to get undeserved laurels: I did not give the whole $157 still needed.
I guess it will need two or three donors more to get to the full sum.
Every bit helps, my Sibling.
Calling all Toadfish! Calling all Toadfish!
Okay, you may call me a 'luddite' if you like.
I'd be happy to donate via PayPal, and have done that on various sites I frequent-- but they always had a little linky pre-configured I could click, log-in to my PP account, enter an amount and click "donate".
An idiot could do it (good thing, too).
But I looked again (post 1), and I missed it? I think?
Is there a "manual" method to send $$? I.e. if I go to PayPal's site, what's the next step (apart from log-in, which I can <just> manage on my own...)...
Thanks in advance.
I had that donation control on the site but it's wonky. I need to look at it again but I just haven't had time. One can go to the PayPal site and send money to darren_dickerson@innostorm.com. I think you might have to purchase "services" to do it manual...
I also had to think a bit on how to do this without a listed object from Ebay, but I followed the steps MB just posted (Go to Paypal. go to Send Money tab at the top, enter MB's email addy, enter the amount you wish to send) and it went through OK.
However, I don't remember wheter I clicked the "Purchase/Services" or "Personal/Other" radio buttons to conclude the transaction... ;D
We Shall See What We Shall See... I sent something.... and pieces' advice was spot-on.
It even let me say a little som'n-som'n in the message line...
:)
Wow... I feel all empowered and sh1t...
:D
Wow! $3000.00? That should cover it! Thanks Bob!
:desperate:

I only wish I had that much cash-on-hand...
Seriously.... did you notice that was in pesos? <snerk>
Lira... :mrgreen: Just messin'...
Thank you so much Bob!
$127 to go!
Edit:
$57 to go with the $70 donation from Swato! Thank you very much Swato!
Woo-hooo!
When's the deadline, again?
I'm waiting for a couple of largish payments to arrive, if we have not reached the total in time let me know.
Hmmmm.... That's a strange coincidence... I'm waiting for that largish anvil from Monty Python to fall on me head...
Look's like we have until the 22nd...
How are we doing--- payday is tomorrow and I can paypal a bit to ya.
Thank you good sir, Thank you
I don't know if you still need it, but I just sent my donation. I am sorry I couldn't share more then $20.

How are we doing?
Was $57 to go, with Stelli's $20 I reckon that makes it $37 to go. But MB will confirm !!
I am so proud of us all sharing this load together.
I'm so grateful for all the donations! I've lost track of the current count but we're over the hump. I should be able to pay pretty soon...
MB

Well let us know if you can't!
I've been working like a dog which of course cost gas but I should be fine. I've sold a bunch of stuff the last few days which is awesome...

rumble--- and to our MB-- love you honey bunny and thanks again!
I sent you $20 by PayPal on 10th August. I have as yet had no acknowledgement.
Sorry DavidH! I've been working six days a week with a four hour commute. If y'all make a PayPal donation make sure you click "services" otherwise I have to pretend like I shipped you something and wait 21 days for the money but no worries....
Love y'all! Especially you AB! :D
We're all paid up!
MB
Wow! It's good to see DavidH. And good we are paid up.

Hosting courtesy of Aggie for the next two years! Thanks Aggie!
* siblings hoist Aggie to their shoulders and march around the Monastery shouting, HUZZAH! *
:grouphug:
Siblings then take Aggie to the Admiral Benbow, lay him down and proceed to pour many gallons of Capn's Delight down his throat. Aggie puts up a brave fight but nevertheless manages to not spill a drop.
Thanks aggie ;D
Thank you indeed, and thanks to MB for fixing the speed issues.
