To jsgoddess, who helped me out even though it turns out PayPal “covered” for my -$7.48 (I thought it had bounced). So now I’m paid up for 2 years. I never would have asked if I’d known, but I didn’t and was freaking. Since I didn’t know PP would do that, I’m still very very appreciative of jsgoddess’s helping me out.
You are wonderful!
Thanks too to TubaDiva and Jerry checking out the PayPal situation.
It’s a bit too late, but if there’s anyone I can help out now that I have some bucks for my PayPal, I’d be glad to. email me.
Ok, I hate to revive an old thread but I’m not sure where else to put this. Here is my “pay my subscription fee” request:
At the moment I’m extremely poor. If it weren’t for the 76 cents in my checking account I would literally be penniless.
I got a job a few days ago but the paycheck won’t come in until next month when my Charter Membership will have already expired.
If I do receive any help, I would greatfully appreciate it and would pass on the favor later on to someone else in need when I have the money.
Done.
I’m a terminal procrastinator and intended to re-up in the next day or two.
As luck would have it, I lost my wallet on a job site today and don’t have my credit/debit cards, and it will be a few days before I get replacements. I can pay $15 and have them expedited, but I suspect that won’t be enough time.
That sucks.
It’s not a request for money. I have the money, and in fact re-upped someone else as a favor recently.
If you’d do me the favor I’ll send you the $7.98 immediately, and then some, for your trouble.
Email me if you’re able.
Thanks.
Matt
