I know I’m chiming in late, since there are only some days left, but if there are still people who need a sponsor, I can suscribe a couple of thoses.  
Drop me a mail at : [clairoobscur@yahoo.fr](mailto:clairoobscur@yahoo.fr) (in case it wouldn’t be clickable, please note the two “o” in the adress , and the .FR at the end : common mistakes) . Also add if possible “straightdope” in the message title since I’ve a tendancy to delete messages with titles in english as spam without paying much attention.

It’s a little late, but if anyone would like to subscribe me (perhaps in exchange for some American or Canadian change) I’d be quite grateful.

(I’ll be your best friend!!)

I’m subscribed, thanks to Lok. 🙂  
Perhaps the “guest” under my name would like to change soon, so I stop getting emails.

I’ve tried paying with VISA multiple times, but it always says “unable to complete transaction” or something like that (I’m in Norway). Even though I have enough money to pay, I would really appreciate if someone would pay for me.

The hour’s late, but is there still time for someone to sign me up? I can mail you the payment as a money order.

I already emailed a doper but got a “Returned mail: User unknown.” Rather than risk that again, I’m asking anyone here.

I’ll eat my pride. I know it’s late. I need an sponsor.-  
Some weeks ago, I said I wasn’t going to suscribe for many reasons. The most important one, my location.  
You see, trasnfering funds to a foreign country is a little difficult in this post-default years. I have the money (15 pesos isn’t a lot of money), I have the credit card BUT my bank tells me that I can’t do it with it. The process of transfering the money is just too complicated.-  
Because I have the means I want to pay that money back:  
There is a Western Union office in my city. I could trasnfer the money. I will need to check how it’s done and if there are restrictions as well.  
Or I could mail it.-  
Or else, considering that a good deed is payed with another good dead (and stealing the idea to Libertarian), I could donate the money here in Argentina (to any organazation my sponsor choose), I could even fax the recipt.-  
Anyway, if I get an sponsor my thanks, if I don’t, nevermind, I’ll remain as a lurker (which is no small thing).

Just checking, thanks to my sponsor. Who will remain anonymus because she made the offer privately.-

I’ll sponsor another doper, if anyone is still needing help: [jsgoddess@yahoo.com](mailto:jsgoddess@yahoo.com). Please put SDMB in the title; Yahoo seems to want to filter out important messages and leave me with nothing but Chinese spam!

I’m headed to bed, though, so don’t panic if you don’t hear from me tonight.
