Have you donated to DU today?

[WilliamPitt]

Look up. Time to dig in and kick some pence to the boys in the cockpit. Line 'em up, baby.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Done!

This unemployed student could only donate a little, but every lil bit helps, right?

[DCDemo]

2. Just got your book Will...can't wait to read it on the beach!

Come to DC some time so I can experience you in person!

PS, I'm re-donating right now..

[Rocinante]

3. Did it

this afternoon

[TSIAS]

4. I'll be sending in money this week

I don't have that much to give, though. But I should be able to give $10.

--Taylor

[sasquatch]

5. I donated earlier today

why doesn't it say that I have donated or anyone else?

[WilliamPitt]

6. They probably update it every day

Just a guess.

[Fenris]

7. Done and Done, Sir William!

:hi: At your service, sire!

[silverlib]

8. Done -

A small price to pay for the benefits reaped!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

9. I just sent a note

asking admin if I can simply recommit to my monthly donation without going through the form again...does that count?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. Oh, I want to...I really do.

But sheeit, I am the brokest white-man east of the Mississippi.

If things pan out in the days, weeks and months ahead, I will become a very regular contributor. If I really make a wad 'o cash, I will become a patron. This place is just that important to me.

Meanwhile, I am just anothe Average Citizen in Chimpy's America. Poor as a churchmouse.

[WilliamPitt]

24. The rule during truthout fund drives

is pay if you can. If you can't spread the word. Selah.

[RamboLiberal]

11. I did the monthly pledge a couple of months ago

But DU had a glitch and only figured it out this month. Glad they didn't charge the back dues. :evilgrin:

But I highly recommend the monthly pledge. With trying to donate to my fave Dem candidates and not being in the top 1% it's tough. :toast:

[KCDem]

12. Hey Will,

will you sign my tits if I donate?

[short bus president]

15. I'll pony up for that

and Will, watch how you dot the "Is."

[KCDem]

16. huh, "is"... whatcha talkin' bout, SBP?

took you long enough.

[short bus president]

17. slow & steady wins the race, KC

Besides, I think it'd just be adorable if the "Is" only showed up when the AC was on.

[KCDem]

18. oh, they show up all right!

And you know... Texas... AC from March-November and all.

But yes, slow can be very nice. :evilgrin:

[short bus president]

19. Ah, Texas.

Did I ever tell you about my friend DooDoo from Dallas?

[KCDem]

21. No, I don't believe you have.

Altho' I once knew a DooDoo in Birmingham, AL. Could it be the same one?

[short bus president]

25. Nah, DooDoo only ever went to

Birmingham once, with me, for a Dead Show.

You see, we took a road trip through TX my sophomore year. Stopped in Dallas the first night to mooch dinner from DooDoo's folks (this is before he was "DooDoo," BTW), then went to Austin to buy a lot of drugs.

[KCDem]

28. Hey, I've been to Austin!

Wow, small world, huh?

So, what do you think about bananas?

[short bus president]

30. I like 'em cooked,

with sugared peanut butter.

Hey, you remember that group Bananarama?

[KCDem]

31. aw man, they sucked big time!

Although I've got it, baby I've got it.

I am your Venus, I am your fire.
What's your desire?

[short bus president]

33. You know, Desire

is my single favorite Bob Dylan album of all time. Love me some Emmylou Harris accompaniment.

What's your singing range?

[KCDem]

34. Emmylou... wow, what a voice.

I can't hold a candle to her.

Have you heard of Sapphire and the Uppity Blues Women? Great group, one of my blues favs.

[short bus president]

40. Never heard of 'em

but I dig sapphires. As rocks go, they're some of the coolest.

[KCDem]

42. yeah, I have a sapphire ring and it's beautiful

deep, deep color. If you're a September baby, that's your birthstone.

When's your birthday? Mine is in May.

[short bus president]

51. Mine's June

I don't even know what my birthstone is. For the longest time I thought it was pearl, but I think they've changed it.

Are there no standards in the birthstone industry?

[KCDem]

54. I think June is Ruby

but I might be wrong. Not pearl, I think pearl is Oct.

And no, there aren't too many standards, just generalizations.

[catzies]

71. July is ruby. June is pearl, also Alexandrite which is rare and expensive.

Sorry for butting in what looks like a private conversation.

[TacticalPeek]

45. Slow is sure. Sure is fast. n/t

[short bus president]

49. Raise your hand if you're Sure. n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. IF I donate on your behalf can I watch him do it?

*has credit card ready in hand*

[short bus president]

23. Line forms to the left, babe

I've got yer ticketmaster, RIGHT HERE!

Special discount if you have a hood ornament imprint anywhere interesting.

[KCDem]

27. Hey hon, anything for you!

:evilgrin:

[WilliamPitt]

26. W-I-L-L-I-A-M R-I-V-E-R-S P-I-T-T

You best have a good marker and a lotta real estate, cause I got a lotta name.

:)

In other words, HELL YES.

[KCDem]

29. awesome, see you soon!

Sorry for jacking your thread, BTW... it's been a wish of mine for years.

[short bus president]

32. Aw, KC, even famous authors

need to have their threads jacked now and again.

Can we get a video of this signing?

[KCDem]

35. you'd have to as GregW.

I'm not sure how G-rated he wants to keep the Gallery.

But I have no shame.

[WilliamPitt]

37. Where? When?

I want to make sure I have a nice, soft fet pen.

[short bus president]

38. Check 'im out, KC!

So excited he can't even type straight!

;-)

[KCDem]

39. Houston, baby, Houston!

I don't mind if your pen is hard.

[WilliamPitt]

41. It's hard now

:evilgrin:

[KCDem]

43. Oh my!

:blush:

Where's that emoticon? With all the flirtation around here, we need one!

[short bus president]

44. shit

we need a firehose!

[KCDem]

46. I thought you had one, baby!

Hell, why am I wasting my time thread-jacking when I could be going to bed? :shrug:

[short bus president]

48. I see.

So you have a better offer. <sniffle>

And you never even told me what you're wearning tonight!

I'm crushed.

[KCDem]

53. currently,

shorts and a sweater-halter. But I'm about to take them off and go to bed... tired. Maybe tomorrow we can jack something earlier. But it's been fun! And all apologies to Will... altho' methinks he didn't really mind.

Oh, and no, I didn't have a better offer, I'm just sleepy.

[short bus president]

55. Night hon.

It's my great pleasure to jack with ya' anytime. Whether Will Pitt watches or not. :P

[MoonAndSun]

13. Just put in my $35..........

what would I DU without my DU?? :toast:

:dem:

[Ohio Dem]

14. Done.

But I don't see the pledge thermometer (or whatever you call such things) at the top of the screen moving up. When will it be updated? I'm more curious than anything.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

22. oh no

Is it really that time again? Ah well, it'll be on it's way soon! :)

[peterh]

36. Just put in my 35…plus 1 n/t

[CMT]

47. thanks for the reminder, just did

eom.

[Booberdawg]

50. Done!

DU rocks! :thumbsup:

[movonne]

52. Yes

[NightTrain]

56. Soon, I'll have a star next to my screen name!

Hey, if my rent-poor ass could kick in a few bucks, so can you. Go donate now, dammit! Don't make me come over there with my old Fabian records....

[Skittles]

57. I'll be sending a check tomorrow

Yup I send checks and the DU doesn't seem to mind one bit. :D

[underpants]

58. Done

:thumbsup:

[goddess40]

59. Done nt

.

[philosophie_en_rose]

60. I will when I get home from work.

I don't need the star, but I want to contribute. I'll look for a starless person to donate for.

[XNASA]

61. Yep.

Done & done.

[boilerbabe]

62. Yes, I did, again!

Between you guys and Howard Dean...you have cut into my beer fund quite a bit!!!
XXXOOO

[AlabamaYankee]

63. Gotta keep that little star shining

[Trajan]

64. As a LONG time DUer ....

Who has NEVER had the 'Star' ....

As a father and husband who NEVER seems to have enough money for school lunches, let alone 'frivolities', like internet forums ....

As a progressive Democrat, who DESPISES the agenda of the right ....

I am gonna dig deep ....

Im not even gonna look at my two checking accounts .... nothing but smoke there ....

Im avoiding the savings account: ... why get more depressed ????

Im passing by Credit Card number one: .. too much on that one ....

Im bypassing Credit Card number two: .... again: .. topped out ...

Hmmmmmm ? ....

Credit Card 3 ? ....

Ok: ... Im gonna:

Line up ...

Get in queue ...

Stand up and be counted ...

Belly up to the bar ....

Straigten up and fly right ....

Im gonna put my money where my mouth is .....

Im getting a star ...... right now ....

[smirkymonkey]

65. Did it....

Felt good, wasn't much of a hardship. DU pulled me out of a severe depression when I thought I was the only person who gave a crap about what was happening in the world - come to find out, the rest of you feel the same way. A way to show my gratitude for an oasis of (relative) sanity. :)

[MissMillie]

66. Yes, I have! (n/t)

.

[goobergunch]

67. I've got the envelope in my pocket...

I"m going to mail it in as soon as I get near a mailbox.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

68. I can't yet...

The @#$% check that I tried to cash today had insufficient funds in the account. That's the free-lance biz...
:-(

[never cry wolf]

69. Done today

gladly.

[catzies]

70. Yes. Wanted to keep my star for another year.

and DU is worth it. :loveya:

[Patriot_Spear]

72. I made a small donation

Most of my disposable cash is going to Dean right now.

[a_random_joel]

73. Yup.

This place rocks. I finally coughed up what I could.

[WilliamPitt]
