    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Don't get me wrong, I don't think this is "BS" but I couldn't find a more apropriate forum for this type of post. If there is a better place for it, I hope the mods can work that out. If it isn't welcome at all, and needs to be deleted, I can understand that as well.


In a couple weeks (April 16th,17th, and 18th) My 4 year old daughter Davey will be participating in a fund raiser for St. Judes Childrens research hospital. For those of you who don't know, St. Judes is a research hospital that deals mainly in the treatment of kids with cancer(FREE OF CHARGE).

Each year my boss donates a whole house of plumbing (parts and labor) for a house that is then raffled off, and all of the money raised goes to the hospital.

Anyway, At Davey's preschool kids will be riding tricycles around in circles earning money for this very important cause.Those who wish to donate can pledge money for each lap is made, or a flat pledge can be made. I made a flat pledge because the teachers mentioned that it would be kind of hard to count laps made by 26 kids on tricycles.

I am trying to think of the best way to take pledges for those here who would like to help out. Would it be best to have checks sent to me (made out to St. Judes Children's Research Hospital) and turn them all in at once? Or would it be better to have them sent straight to her presschool, made out to St. Judes, with a note mentioning that the donation is a sponsorship pledge for Davey?

Here is a link to the St. Judes Trike-A-Thon Site. For more information on the Trike-a-thon and to know more about St. Jude please click the link. Thanks in advance!St. Jude Trike-A-Thon
 
Ok, I have read through all of the stuff she has, and I think the best way to do this is to send checks to me , so that I can fill out the sheets to make sure everyone gets their paperwork for the tax deductions from St.Jude (yes, this sponsorship is tax deductible!)
I am not running a scam, I just want that made clear before anyone suggests that I might. Checks will have to be made out to St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital, and I will not accept cash.
If you are wanting to donate, please send checks to:

Davey Giltner
336 n B st
Exeter,Ca 93221.

The event starts on the 16th, so if you are going to donate, you should probably mail checks before next Friday to make sure that they get here on time. Any checks received after the 16th will just be returned.
If you do send a check, please email me at [email protected] to let me know you sent one so that I know to look out for it.
Thanks again
