Okay, okay, I know I posted twice that I wasn’t going to sign up, but this board is a bit more addictive than I thought it was. However, I still don’t have credit card. I have plenty (well that might be overstating the matter) of cash and can easily afford the fiver. I’d rather pay, really. Can I send any Irish doper five euros or a cheque? ---

**PookahMacPhellimey** , I’m not an Irish Doper, but would be happy to help you out. If you don’t get offers from your fellow Irishmen, email me at [greenfleurdelis@hotmail.com](mailto:greenfleurdelis@hotmail.com) before Friday April 16. I’m on vacation after that. ---

Great! If one of the Irish guys show up, I’ll sort it out that way, as it makes the payment thing a bit easier. If not I’ll be in touch and thanks so much for offering to help. ---

When I first saw that the SDMB was going to paid subscriptions, I said, “Oh, well, I’m hardly ever on anymore, I don’t have a credit card, nor Paypal–actually, I don’t even have five dollars at the moment. Screw it, let them dump me, I’ll live.” Argh. OK, I give. I want to be grandfathered in. Anyone feeling charitable? Do a search on my name to see if I’m just too offensive for you. If anyone takes me up on it, leave a comment here or on [http://www.livejournal.com/users/foolsguinea](http://www.livejournal.com/users/foolsguinea) – you won’t get through my email’s spam filter. I’m more than willing to pay in useless old Magic cards, Jim Lee comic books, or other stuff I’ve outgrown. 😃 Or if you insist, I _can_ send you a check. ---

OK, I was wondering if anyone would like to pay for me now and I can pay them back as soon as I start my summer job. I’m in the boat with other university students in that right now I’m tapped for cash, I’ve got a dollar in my bank account and am in a very tight fiscal situation. If someone wants to lend me the usage of $5 and their credit card I’d be entirely greatful and they could have their money back as soon as I get my first paycheque, probably within a month. If you have any interest, please e-mail at jchristidis@yahoo.ca. Cheers. ---

Another college student here (freshman). All I have are loans and a summer internship that doesn’t pay money (but is going to give me good credentials and experience…I get to wirk with someone who has published in JAMA doing genetics research). Anyway, if anyone would like to sponsor me I’d appreciate it. I love this board. ---
