It would be great if you guys used this money to see each other. But if the timing doesn't work out for you please do not feel pressured to meet for fear of letting us down. You can keep that money and buy some phone cards or donate it to your favorite charity in Hatrack's name.
KQ, thanks for hooking us up. Please let me know if you don't receive a confirmation email by tomorrow.

Yours is "pending"; I'll let you know when it clears, Beren.
When Beren's contribution clears, everyone, we will be 1/4 of the way to our assumed goal of $400!!! Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

My Paypal is linked directly to my checking account, so I did an echeck transfer which may take 1-2 days to clear.

I'm also one of those financially dependent people who can't afford to contribute, sorry. This is one of the coolest things I've had the opportunity to witness though.
Yay for Annie and Hobbes! Happy Day.

Just another one of the gazillion reasons to love Hatrack. I'm one of those that fits into the "poor college student, unable to donate" category, but I wanted to mention (with all the others) what a wonderful thing this is. Hobbes and Annie definitely deserve it. (Oh, and if this happens in May I totally think we should have a Colorado mini-get-together just so I can hang out with you two cool cats. )

I just want to say that Beren does not speak for me on this issue. If I were to contribute money to this fund, it would be for the sole and exclusive purpose of arranging a reunion, not for use as discretionary funds. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Sorry TD, didn't mean to speak for everyone there.
I've done a lot of moving around in my life so I know how unexpected things can pop up right before a big trip. I'm with KQ about the mission fund.

Moaning already? What, is the thread getting too heavy for you? It's only three pages long! Suck it up, man! Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Thanks to everyone's generosity, once all the e-checks clear, we will be almost halfway there! This is really impressive, everyone.

Frank was logged on my computer the other day. I keep forgetting to check and make sure it is me that is logged in. I swear! I've lied too many times and I've learned my lesson but I'm not lying about this!
Tom- Why should I appoligize for telling the truth! I'm not Frank! Like I said he was logged on my computer!

But you've posted as you today, Steve. So if Frank was on your computer the other day, you would have had to log him out to post as you, and then how did he get back in again?
The thing is, if you're going to lie, you should at least make it believable. Like the insane asylum thing... You told us you were 15 and had been in an asylum for 12 years. We can do math. Nobody believed you were committed at the age of 3 and have been there ever since.
I'm not saying this because I don't like you or I want you to go away. I'm saying it because I want you to stay, and you're just hurting yourself with this sort of thing. It will get to the point where everyone will just sit and roll their eyes at everything you say except for fluff. And that's no fun.
I have a lot of patience, but don't insult my intellegence. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

OMG!!!! I'M SERIOUS!!!! I'M NOT FRANK!!! HE WAS OVER AT MY HOUSE TODAY AFTER SCHOOL AND LOGGED ON FOR A LITTLE BIT AND FORGOT TO LOG OFF!! SO WHEN I LOGGED ON THE WEBSITE AUTOMATICALLY LOGGED ME IN AS HIM!!!! I'M NOT FRANK!!! I SWEAR!!!
Edit:
ElJay- I said the other day but I meant about a half an hour ago.
Edit of the Edit:
I stopped lying on Hatrack. Everything I have said since my landmark(including the landmark; except a few parts of the Florida Sea Base trip were exaggerated as most stories come to be after a period of time) has been true. I've vowed not to lie on Hatrack anymore. And if people don't believe me I will quit. Because I don't feel I can talk with people who don't believe what I say.

Beren- No offense; but you really aren't helping. Just for your information though I meant Frank, as in the name.

Steve, please smile. If you smile and drop it, we won't have to ask you to leave the thread. It's not hard, see? Now, please, don't do this in this thread any more. If you feel the need, post a thread about how you're not Frank, but don't do it here. Please.

Sorry Steve, didn't mean to make things worse. I guess I like to diffuse tense situations with inappropriate humor. It is a defense mechanism I learned from an unhappy childhood where my parents fought all the time (j/k, made that up).
I guess as a person with four login names, I can't really point any fingers.
You're probably getting a bit more flak than you usually would have because we recently had an experience with another poster who was also accused of making up stuff.

kq- I'm sorry. But I don't like being falsely accused of lying. I'll let it drop. If it comes up again any place else I will start a topic on it.

Thats alright, thats okay. You're going to get it right some day. Yeah!

Narnia, we're up to $197.25, with approximately $90 that will clear by the 28th still to be added to that! I think Annie's gonna make it-- especially if everyone who has said they will contribute but not gotten to it yet does. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Mine and Leonide's money will be on the way in a few days. I had to transfer money into my paypal account to be able to send it, rather than using a credit card and losing a few dollars on the transaction.
