Stone me, I forgot to send some bucks to DU, and I lost my star!

[Redstone]

Can someone get my credit card out of my jacket pocket (in the front hall, hanging on the coat tree) and bring it out to me on the screen porch? One of my legs isn't working real well right now.

...Anybody?

...Nobody?

Ah, no problem; Mrs R will be home in a few minutes and we'll get this star situation fixed, and damn soon. Besides it being The Right Thing To Do, the conveniences of donating to DU are well worth the cost.

1. I'd get it for you, if I weren't up in Beantown

:pals:

[skygazer]

2. I'd get it for you if I wasn't 3000 miles away

And if my back was working properly. :hi:

3. I'll get it for you if I can take it out shopping with me after :^P

[Redstone]

4. OK, but only to the liquor store and right back here.

12. I'm thinking mudslides. What did you have in mind?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear Redstone!

I'd be happy to buy you one...

Just say the word!

:hi:

[Redstone]

7. No, no, Peg, thank you, but I can afford it. I really did just forget.

Redstone

[Raven]

6. You forgot...right ...and what did the dog eat?

[Redstone]

8. My homework. Or would have, if I'd had any. The thing that ate my memory was

the four concussions. (NOT the drugs, really!)

9. I have a choice, now. I have $100 to spend in contributions

(I am poor trust me, but mostly happy). For the sake of the future, should I give it to Obama/Biden, or DU. I am conflicted.

[Redstone]

10. You asked, I'll answer. Split it, $50 to each. That's what I'd do.

Redstone

[DainBramaged]

11. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

or I could buy

[Boojatta]

18. How about $33 to each of those two plus $33 to the innocence project?

You could use the left-over dollar to buy yourself one copy of a particular newspaper that you normally don't read.

[Redstone]

The "innocence project?" Details, please, either here or via PM, please.

It sounds like something worthwhile.

Redstone

[Boojatta]

22. Here...

http://www.innocenceproject.org/

[Redstone]

24. Ah, thank you. That's a project definitely worth supporting, especially given that you

read articles in the newspapers pretty much once a week about people who have been wrongly imprisoned, and only exonerated after SUCH long periods of suffering, because they simply DIDN'T DO IT.

A worthy cause, indeed.

13. If you have no star you'll make it up to the DU by viewing ads. Ads, ads everywhere.

That is what I do cause I am short of cash.

[Redstone]

15. I did notice the spike in ads since my star went away. Being pragmatic, I can't argue with

the concept of "donate, or suffer through all the additional ads."

That is a realistic business model, and whatever business model works to keep DU running and thriving is a good one in my opinion.

People tend to not understand that Internet content is not actually "free." There's work that has to be done to keep sites like this one up and running (and usable), and someone has to be paid to do that work.

Nobody's brought me my credit card yet, so I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to square my accounts with DU (dang, I don't like it when I can't walk). But if you send me a reminder via PM, I'll ask them to allocate some of my donation tomorrow to provide a star for you, OK?

17. My dear Redstone...

Beat you to it!

I bought applegrove a star as soon as I saw it was missing....

You have such a good heart for offering...

:hug:

[Redstone]

19. Did I ever mention that you're a peach? Hey, I've hammered the pain into submission with

liberal applications of hydrocodone and methacarbamol (Robaxin), so I think I'll be able to sleep now.

Tomorrow will be a better day. I can feel it coming.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I think you just may have mentioned that...

Thank you...

I wish you a sound sleep and happy dreams!

I definitely hope tomorrow is better for you as well...

:hug:

[applegrove]

26. That is so nice Restone. I just got a star Saturday night. Don't know

if it was you or not. But thank you either way.

[bigwillq]

14. If I were closer

I would do my buddy a favor. :hi:

[Redstone]

16. I know you would, and thank you. I'll be more mobile tomorrow, and will fix the

situation then. I've been through this Pain Process now and again for 36 years now, and understand the signals that tell me it's getting better.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

21. Don't hold your breath. You'll not get one from me...

...:P

[Redstone]

23. I didn't ask for one from anyone.
