Well, bills overwhelmed us this month and I’m almost due. Any offers still open? I’ll cover someone next month for a hamburger today.

Nobody who can reply to you, at least :(. I suppose such a person could e-mail you, though.

True, I forgot about that.

Hey, papaw!

Great to see you here. I’d sponsor you in an instant if I had CC or Paypal but I’m in the same boat as you, had to be sponsored myself. You won’t have any problem finding a sponsor though, the folks here are incredibly helpful to newcomers, I’ve never known a board like it!

See ya around the boards!

Thank You, Doug!  
I am not a professional wordsmith, just one who has always been interested in etymology and am always searching such things, among many others.

You are welcome. 🙂

Get to know our **samclem** , who _is_ a semi-professional word sleuth. He also moderates one of our forums (meaning he’s the one you see with the bucket of water ready to throw it on a fire when it erupts!). 😛

It would be very much appreciated if one of you would get with this gentleman and work out an arrangement where y’all pay for him and he then pays you or something similar.

His email address is public, so you could write him, even. 🙂

Thanking you in advance for your consideration – Dopers are very considerate people and isn’t that the greatest, it’s part of what makes this place so cool.

I was looking into subscribing to these msg boards but don’t have a creditcard or a paypal account & unable to get a paypal acount.  
I was hoping there would be away to do account trasfers but looked into that and noticed this is American board and I’m guessing the account would be American so it will cost me a further more $15 to transfer it.

Is there any other ways to pay for a subscription?  
Sorry if this info is posted somewhere else i was unable to find it. Oh and sorry if this is in the wrong section, it seemed the most appropriate.

Is this for new members only? How about veterans? My sub ends tomorrow, and I don’t have the means at the moment to renew. I’d be happy to pay it forward later once I’m out of the weeds (financially speaking).
