[QUOTE=Hostile Dialect]  
I don’t have a credit card, and won’t when April comes around. If someone buys me a membership, though, I’ll gladly send them a check.  
[/QUOTE]

Sorry for being dim, but does that mean you’re expiring in April?  
Or rather your membership is.

No and yes. (I’m not expiring :D, but my membership is–I’m a Charter Member.)

Thanks! 🆒

BTW, I swear to Og I’m going to send you a check if I have to find you on [classmates.com](http://classmates.com) to figure out where to send it. Remember, I know the details of your Navy service now! 😉 So you might as well just tell me where to send the check to by PM.

Bumpty, bump bump.  
It’s Christmas, and I have $15 burning a hole in my pocket.  
Are there any guests or members that are short?  
Post here, or send me an e mail.

I certainly wouldn’t say no to someone supporting my new addiction since I’m foolishly squandering my savings on silly things like books for next quarter.

Thanks so much to the kind person who helped me out with my renewal and thanks also to Rick and Tubadiva for getting me back. It was the best Christmas present I got this year.

No really, that’s a good thing!

Pick me! Pick me! My financial situation is in dire straits with a bleak prognosis for the future. I don’t expire until February, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to spare the change by then.

Oh, wow. I wouldn’t say that I’m in dire straits, but after Christmas with three young kids does put me in a little bit of a hurt. I’d deeply, deeply appreciate anyone who wanted to take the chance on a guest they don’t know. I promise to be very, very good and try not to embarrass anyone. I even try to spell check all my posts and stay away from the Great Debates.

(As far as any real history here - it’s been years. YEARS. Like, before the SDMB went to a pay system. To be exact, does anyone remember the great Left Behind wars? Yes? So do I.)
