Thanks to the kindly Dopers who volunteered their services, and especially the one who signed me up! Since they didn’t post here and e-mailed me directly instead, I’m guessing they wish to remain anonymous, but if not I’m happy to thank them more publicly! 🙂

Sigh, against all my better judgement I’d like to re-up. But I think I should do it before April 28, that way my rate is $9.95.

I don’t have a credit card & don’t want to use PayPal. I offer a check or money order and a free t-shirt (bribes work!) to anyone who is willing to pay my way and get the money in the mail shortly after. Anyone?

Thanks a bunch!

Hey, everybody, \*\*gum \*\* is my new hero! Not only did he re-up me, he won’t even take money from me, and is just doing it as a favor.

_bows down to **gum** _

Everybody! Bow down to **gum**!  
THANKS **GUM**!

Well, heck. I wish I read this thread at all, I’d have paid your way, Anaamika. 😉

Less twenty cents, of course.

I was afraid of that. 🙂

Attention, everyone! gum is my new hero, and a she! But she’s always been a she (I think), she’s only recently become my hero.

**CandidGamera** , I appreciate the sentiment! :dubious: 😉

_shy_

Um…yeah. Poor kid, senior in high school, not all that prominent here on the Boards. When my subscription runs out, I know I won’t be able to resubscribe.

I really hate asking, but would someone be willing to renew me? You know, like as a favor? Or something…

Please?

Since you’re the only sane one here, you deserve to keep on posting and keep the rest of us straight, so to speak.

Email me, if you haven’t gotten a sponsor yet.

My email is my user name at Hotmail

Or Yahoo.

I got Gmail referals free to any registered doper, anywhere.

I can sponsor a couple of folks.

You don’t have to ask here. I don’t expect, or want a post thanking me. You don’t need to explain why you can’t pay. You don’t have to pay me back. If you really want to pay me back, please do a charitiable act, like packing a couple of nice bagged lunches, and giving them to hungry people. You don’t need to tell me about it.

Send me an email, with your user name, and the password you will use on the next day. Some time in that day, I will log on as you, and pay your subscription. Then I will log off immediatly. The next day, you change your password back. (Please remember to do that.)

If I get too many requests, I will post here, to have people stop. Last year, I offered, and no one asked, so I figure I’m due.

Tris

_ **Thanks to Triskadecamus for the template for the offer** _

My email is in my profile, and I can sponsor someone to re-enlist.

You don’t have to ask here. I don’t expect, or want a post thanking me. You don’t need to explain why you can’t pay. You don’t have to pay me back. If you really want to pay me back, please sponsor someone else someday when you can. You don’t need to tell me about it.

If someone will accept a money order from me and then pay my subscription directly, I would appreciate it very much. I do not want or need a freebie, just an intermediary.
