If you are financially able, please make your donation to DU.
It keeps this site alive.

I just made my quarterly donation. DU helps me to keep my sanity.

Again, if you can, please do so. If you can't afford it, don't worry.

4. I wish I could...
...and I would if I have even $5 spare, that I really didn't need. But unfortunately I can't. Maybe when Sapphocrat's and my luck finally changes for the better, we will be better off financially and able to donate on a more regular basis to DU.

6. Don't worry, times are tough all over
That's why I made the qualification that those who are financially able to make the donations.

Somewhere along the line, I'll probably not be able to and you will!

:D

19. Thank you for cutting slack!
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas just raised my monthly premiums to $179.00 a month on my supplemental insurance. And my prescription drug account with my pharmacy in Cananda is now questionable, and it appears I'll be paying a higher price for my needed prescriptions. Because of greedy pharmaceuticals and the Republicans want to line their pockets and don't give a flying fuck about us old folks on social security.

I find that the golden years aren't that great, my friends.

Perhaps I will have something in a few weeks. Sorry!!

17. God I wish I could
It's one of the saddest parts of my life in poverty is that
I am unable to give to the causes I so passionately support.
My nerves are so shot these days that I'm having to beg my friends
and family to get my meds. But I rely on Du for a great deal
of support and try to offer wise encouragement to my fellow
warriors. love you guys!

22. Done
Couldn't afford much, but I'll do without a week or two of Pepsi to help support this site. By the way, I don't think I would be sane without DU.

27. I guess my former donation "wore off". They took my STAR away.
I didn't realize that you have to keep donating to have a star by your name...can't use the search function since they "tombstoned" my previous donation.

I've sent 2 e-mails and haven't gotten a reply yet.

I guess there's a "statute of limitations" on having a star by your name, huh? :shrug:

Is this donation thing more like "dues"?? I guess I didn't get the memo.

Whassup with that??

33. You can get fairly quick answers by posting in "ask the administrators"
They seem to check there often and answer promptly.
