[Fundraiser attempt] It's Friday - I am lonely - Need a weekend party

Submitted by mimi on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 5:30pm

How about a fundraiser party?

yes, short and simple. The server needs to be upgraded, I heard.

So, let's downgrade our funds in our pockets a bit to put the dollars into the piggy-bank of C99%.

I don't know how you have done that before.

I am matching up to $300.00 of your donations.

Please let JtC know per private mail how much you donated (if you don't want it to be public) and JtC please notify me, when you have gotten $300.00 in your piggy-bank.

That's all. I am not a writer. I am a pig lover and I am sure the C99% piggie bank approves this message. The piggie says: For a quarter I dance a minute longer...
[video:https://youtu.be/sMOJQcKK0q8]
The caucus of the 99% piggies are for Brother Johnny and Uncle Bernie. United we Win !

PS. This could be a mix and match party. Don't be shy. Match what you like.

I already pitch in a minuscule amount each month so can't give you anything to match at the moment - hope others can though.

Read this, and chipped in. It was hard to get into the site Tues.

Question: is there some way to do a recurring donation?

That was because of the primaries (lots of people posting and hitting refresh and such)

click the donate button in the right sidebar and at the top of the page is a box to tick for recurring monthly donations.

you think this piglet would wake up for some stinky porn ?

What a pig - I like the sound it makes eating Smile - never thought people would let pigs sleep in their bed. Ha. What you can learn on c99p with all the adults around here.

This kiddo is tired. Good Night.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

I'm sorry I'm a poor, poor poorly pig Sad Thanks for sharing your love of pigs and for the cute fundraiser for C99.

Do you remember the show, "Designing Women"? Seeing your little pigs reminded me of that precious show.

was payday and I'll put my usual monthly small donation in this weekend. We all need to help JtC upgrade the tech stuff. The glitches are a good sign, because it means more traffic, but it's annoying to get them while drafting a post. So contribute we must! Thanks for this, mimi, and please do it regularly, like at least once a month - preferably around paydays :=) Enjoy your evening my friend,

first message I sent you way back. I was just a bit overwhelmed about your eloquence. I wished I could write. Your series is great and I am glad to get to know you better through your writing.

it's been a couple of months since we kicked in anything. I've got a PayPal account that's really for my band's recording fund. We have cash from the "gigs" (that's musician talk for "performances") but we also have a bandcamp site and occasionally sell copies of our CD, with the money going into PayPal. So shaz doesn't want to disturb that and prefers to send what the ancients called "a check".

Which we'll do. That'll be exciting! It'll be so Mid-Century! Then maybe I'll get a rotary phone and ditch the cell.

peace pigeons to deliver a check, what do you think? My niece, when she was still alive, used this little pigeon, that carried a device to measure air pollutants, for delivering data to a database real-time, in one of her projects.. I think it could carry a check too, no? Smile

every little bit helps, and thank you to all that have donated. Without the People Powered funding, we'd be looking at advertisements and nobody wants that, especially me. Thanks again to everyone!

Us philanthropists can't keep this place afloat all by ourselves.

Who knows, you might even enjoy making a comment or two. The more the merrier.

This is a great place, and clearly needs more server power at some times, for all the people flooding in.

You came in late in the evening. You donated way more than I could match and for that I just say thank you. Thank you for supporting this fundraiser.

Give rose to all of you.

get in to one party. I can't tell you how tired I am to communicate from the EST time zone with people in Hawaii and Germany. One of us is always asleep and the other side wants to party, is exited and chats endlessly.

Oh well, we will party one day in Dresden, how about that?
