A public apology for not donating to DU (right now).
Edited on Mon Nov-19-07 12:41 AM by lildreamer316
We are just now recovering from the two-week enforced vacation that my husband had (read: one manager fired him and then was forced to re-hire him two weeks later) and are trying to pay up all the bills we fell behind on.

I also have six cousins in one family with assorted children of their own and two parents to buy obligatory Xmas gifts for, since uncle is the exector of the trust that my house is in. (read: play nice!! not that that's hard, they are cool people).

I am anticipating being able to donate after Xmas...

Love to you all.

2. No need to apologize, lildreamer.
I assume people give as they are able. Me, I gave but not a huge amount. And there have been times when I couldn't. There will be a time when I can give quite a bit more, and I will.

We do what we can. It's all good.

3. WTF is with that star next to your user name?
That star designates a donor. Are you saying that DU LIES about donor status? Is Elad rigging it?

Of course not. "Right now" being the important words here, it seems.

4. Lol..I think.
I donated a small amount this summer, and my star has not expired yet. But I still wanted to donate during the active drive.

Just not this round.
