Post your snail mail address, I don' t do business on line and you know the reason why...I don't give out personal credit cards numbers on my computer for security reasons...I have some kind of someone already making attachments on it.  As times get worse, your going ot find an lot of people go silent on you...maybe the people you should asking the donation from is the bankers? See, if they will give up an high priced car for an lower priced car.. maybe they can have something to drive, and something to give POE...just an suggestion. One they most the time go silent on also. What's the best way to help POE if you can't donate right away?..any sugestions...What is your biggest expense to keep operating? It is usually end of April to May over here before people get back their tax refunds...to have any spare cash. Maybe I can put in an good word for you with Obama, strange that he gave the airlines an free ticket to do as they pleased, but is known himself to not be an donater of his own funds. I use to have an freind like that...they lived on what they could get for free from others..or an tax deduction otherwise. Doing better then I am. I go for now..haven't been feeling the best the last couple of days myself...hope I'm not catching anything...my brother I guess is now loaded down with drugs to take... for they have both been sick. An volcano erupted big time down in Central America this last saturday..it seems like here lately the quakes are ramping up also..lets hope its nothing more then an sign of Spring arriving.

Shirley, if you really want to make a contribution, but don't trust online banking  transactions (personally I have no problem with it) drop a private mail to Chris and Sarah and I am sure they will give all the relevant banking details to enable you to go into your own bank and make a money transfer over the counter. You gotta believe it Shirley, POE is in DANGER of folding, so every little helps. Only you can make your decision. Apologies if this comes across harsh but that is the situation we are in

mail because someone keeps taking the password quicker then I can apply for an new one. This person, whoever it is literally wants my soul I think at times...and all about taking me over completely...why I have no idea.I am not really all that interesting an person. In the meantime I went to sleep dreaming we were selling "POE" ink pens 3/$15...with the web site addy on the side of it... "Pictures of England.com"  in Black and Gold with free shipping. It was said on the news last night that banks are thinking about charging for their accounts and checks again. That means an $2 collection fee wouldn't be worth the cost, and even when line talking at his web site. I am getting around to where the only person I see checking into his web site is myself..everyone else I guess simply does things through his newsletter reading.  I just got one of his letters yesterday...."I have personally expereinced 83 eathquakeswasher....recently reclassified as an "underwater ceramic techmician"..bus boy, waiter, with wages up to 40 cents an hour."..I thought it was an gas explosion at the hotel...of course he goes on to finish college and get certified as an state geologist for California and work for the state in wide...and married his wife "Jan" and raised an family....which are now living in or near Ontario, Canada. But I feel that most those people that could of stayed with him longer after he made everyone "register" ought to be there helping him now...besides myself. Which goes to show the way the younger generation is towards the older generations these days. If they don' thave to show up for your funeral...then everything must be "OK".

I do beleive whom ever takes out the top of my text...really doesn't want me here..so YOU can't read what I say..no matter what I say.  Would it help if I said..Hi..good by?.... and they would leave me alone? I wouldn' thave as long postings as I ususally do.

I just went to the Premier names and I didn't see my name there in the first four pages...but I sent in an donation back then... that Cathyml had designated the amount for all us back then to give to POE....and back then I had an avatar also with the gold star in it. It that why people think I havent' ever donated anything?...and what about the book I sent you and the pictures right after I joined, for me, the two times I have donated has in all cost me about $100...including the postage, cause we started out without "PayPal"....and they said it last night...they are having troubles over here with people not taking other people's credit card numbers off such things as "PayPal" even when it's considered "secure". One reason I don't want my medical records on line but only to other doctors...may need the information. Our security is to laxed as it is. If you buy an product from somone...then if you don' t receive it then you don' thave to pay for it....I will go an see if I can find my certified cashier's check to POE from the past.

Can't help you with the missing avatar Shirley, you will have to upload that again, but I think the Premier Gold Star only lasts for1 year after donation, then further donation is required each year to keep the star going.

Hi Shirley.

Dave is correct, the gold star status lasts for one year and then needs renewing.

As for the paperwork/book that you sent yes I remember it well, mainly about the Oregon Trail and interesting it was, but with respect that didn't help fund POE and as for postage costs well that hits us all and is why PayPal appears the best option.

Your avatar was taken down at your own request. If you remember the original picture was that of you and your father and later a picture of you as a young girl. If you would like an avatar added, please just add it by following the instructions and if you have any trouble then email me the picture and I will deal with it for you.
