> [@raz](#): > > I need a sponsor. Iā€™m not poor, and I would GLADLY reimburse whoever pays for my subscription via money order. The reason I cannot pay myself is because I have neither a credit card nor a PayPal account, and from what Iā€™ve read, the admins arenā€™t too thrilled about recieving the payment in the form of a money order. Like I said, If anyone is willing to sponsor me, drop me an email at blink\_178 @ [hotmail.com](http://hotmail.com) and we can exchange info, and I will have the money order for you in the mail as soon as I can. Thank you everybody who is taking the time and money to sponsor a fellow Doper in need! Check yer mail! ---

Alright, I wasnā€™t going to subscribe, but since the date has been extended it seems like a sign. Itā€™s been three years and I donā€™t think I could stop posting cold turkey (even though I donā€™t post very much). I certainly have the $5, but I donā€™t have a credit card or a PayPal account. Iā€™ve e-mailed a couple Dopers already, but they havenā€™t responded yet and Iā€™m neurotic and want to make sure I get in before the deadline. (I canā€™t access the profiles of those who say ā€œmy address is in my profile,ā€ or else I would have e-mailed more people.) I know Iā€™m doing this all last-minute-like, and I apologize for that. Please e-mail me at kapolley@hotmail. com with SDMB in the subject line. I will be more than happy to pay you back! ---

I should probably add that Iā€™m in the US so you should only e-mail me if you want a pretty American $5 bill. ---

I, too, am pleased by the extension because it is allowing me to request a sponsor. If someone would sign me up, please email me at [tamgenmed@yahoo.com](mailto:tamgenmed@yahoo.com). I would reimburse any willing doper the amount invloved. Thanks in advance! ---

**Sponsor a physicist today!** Actually, I donā€™t have a PhD yet. But you get the picture. My AGI for 2004 was $xxxx.xx (for those across the pond, this means that Uncle Sam deems me too poor to be taxed on income). I will send my gracious sponsor a picture of myself (which is a big step for me, considering how paranoid I am), and thank you letter (actual letter, not email). My email is [skepticoATnukeworker.com](http://skepticoATnukeworker.com). Feel free to message me on AIM if you have any questions related to this inquiry, or about quantum mechanics. Your money would probably make a greater impact on the life of a hungry child in a developing country in South America. But one day said child will grow up, and perhaps he or she will become a hungry physicist like me. Thank you, and may [2005 be miraculous year](http://www.physics2005.org) for you too. šŸ™‚ (PS: Iā€™m not a female, so donā€™t be expecting THAT kind of picture!). ---

I believe that I have a doper interested in sponsoring me. I have sent an email, in case that person would like to remain anonymous. Thanks for the thread, and the quick response, my sponsor friend! Kind regards, Zhenā€™ka ---

Hmmm, I havenā€™t wanted to ask this. Could anyone be so kind as to sponsor me? I am really, really hard up at the moment as I am paying off my student loan, supporting my girlfriend while she is at uni and am trying to make rent as well. I am loath to ask for charity (hence the late date of my request) but have come to realise how much I love it here as the final date approaches. I would be more than happy to re-imburse the amount when my girlfriend starts her summer break (summer job, help with bills etc) but if not I can wait it out till then. If there is anyone left who fancies sponsoring me Iā€™d really appreciate it, if not Iā€™ll be back posting in June. Thanks guys! ---

Iā€™m hoping to squeak in under the deadlineā€¦ Please, is there anyone out there still looking to sponser someone? Iā€™m on a really tight budget (I live at home while going to school full-time), and I just canā€™t manage the $5 this month. I could pay you back in May, if you wanted.

> [@teleute12](#): > > Iā€™m hoping to squeak in under the deadlineā€¦ > > Please, is there anyone out there still looking to sponser someone? Rats. I tried twice to subscribe you without your password, and wound up extending my membership till 2007. Perhaps I wasnā€™t able to do it, as I had for another person, because the el-cheapo deadline has passed. Oh, well. Email me with your password and a reminder of your screen name tonight at laura.graf @comcast.net, and Iā€™ll sponsor you, even at the (gasp) full rate. ---
