2. I would really appreciate one. These past 2 yrs have been
hell for my husband and me. I became disabled and cannot work and my husband was laid off and is looking for work.

Thank you.

4. Can I ask for someone else?
Edited on Tue Feb-14-06 01:42 AM by Wordie
I just ran across a new DUer who is a Katrina survivor...I mail in my donations, so I don't have stars to give out (there wasn't enough time for my check to get to DU), but I noticed this new DUer doesn't have a star yet...

16. Reminds me of the kid who made sure everybody got Valentine cards
It made me feel good way back then.

Makes me feel good now.

Thanks.

18. Okay, I'll request one :)
Sorry guys - I promise, as soon as I'm off my parents' income and have my own credit card as opposed to one for "necessary expenses" being paid by my parents - I promise I'll donate!

25. Stars indicate that a poster has donated to DU
...or had someone donate in their name. Donors have access to more tools (My Posts, bookmarks, advanced searches) and can post in the "Groups" forums.

24. Should anyone feel even remotely generous...
.. it wouldn't hurt my feelings. I just found out that we have to move in 90 days, since they decided to rezone the park here to $100,000 homes. Not my idea of summer fun.

31. Marzipan stars!
Been there w/the moving - you're right, not a good time at all! We have the same kind of thing going on @ here, pricing families right out of the neighborhoods. Wonder if these upscale buyers have given any thought as to just where their housekeepers, etc are going to live if it keeps up. I've already warned 2 of my clients that they are at risk of having to build me a little cottage out back if the prices keep skyrocketing! W/all my kiddoes! :yoiks: :rofl:

39. Well, thank you whoever(s) you are...
.. I'll try to pass the joy around.

and as far as moving, yeah, it's real 'fun'. We've been in this park for 7 years and are BUYING out home (just renting the space) and it is now looking like a 50/50 proposition that we'll have to hand this back over as a vol. repo. and fid something somewhere else (most likely in another state). It was SORTA in our plans to move the end of the year, but as part of all this, it turns out the inbread lein-holders of the mortgate will NOT ALLOW it to move out of COUNTY (let alone out of state)...

happy, happy, joy, joy

35. I lost my star today.
I applied for a credit card last Friday at my credit union.

I've never had a credit card before.

I should be getting it in a couple of weeks.

After that I'll be able to donate.

Until then I'm starless.

If you'd like to give me one that would be great.

Thanks for giving.

49. Wow! Thank you very much!
I host a talk show 2am to 3am Friday morning on KZUM.

I depend on DU for doing much of my research and show preparation.

It really helps to have search capability back again.

My show can be heard online at... http://www.kzum.org/

Thanks!

OP was offering to donate for DUers to get a donor star - maybe you're thinking of hearts?

42. LOL - yes, he sure does!
I think there's some small confusion @ the hearts & stars ... hearts be nice, but ya can't do a search with 'em, so I'm trying to kick your thread along & figure out who needs stars. I'm almost broke, but figure I can do a few more 'marzipan' stars (got a hell of a sugar rush going tonight - marzipan heart cookies! So everything today is marzipan flavored, even stars! LOL!)

How's your Valentine's Day going? Hope it's a good one - good days are hard to come by, good to be enjoyed & best shared whenever possible!

What a great thread to make the day better, you deserve a big, red cookie too! TY!
