Remember, they also need housing. Skulldigger has found one of those housing units where you pay rent according to your income. She says it is a surprisingly nice area. It would be the first time that Poly and Skull had lived in a decent home for many many years.

So, let’s keep going!

D and I will send some bucks as soon as we are able! :slight_smile: Just because I’m in a temporary slump doesn’t mean we cannot contribute something. Is there a mailing address?

Thanks

Appreciate your efforts to help make things a little better, Hal.
(PM sent too, if you’ve got a moment)

One point to make is there is not a good car for that magical amount sitting there for purchase. One has to be found and reality doesn’t usually meet estimates. One that doesn’t need repairs the next month might not be around for $2,000.

107

And in this economy people who would have let go a car and bought a new one might be hanging onto their cars to squeeze a little more mileage out of them, so the used-car market may be tighter. Any additional dollars beyond purchase price, tax, title, and license could be put into a tune-up and what is almost certain to be necessary maintenance.

I’ll forego the frittata pan I had my eye on. Best of luck to Polycarp and family. Thanks Liberal for lettings us know and thanks Hal Briston for co-ordinating.

Enjoy,
Steven

Donation sent. Hal, thanks for making it easy to donate. Liberal, please keep us updated on how Poly and Skull are doing.

109

Sent my donation.

110

…and the $2,000 barrier falls.

111

I think we can double that, if we want to.

112

:eek:

You people are awesome. :slight_smile:

Poly’s DSL has just been installed. He will be posting shortly, I assume, after he has read the thread.

114

Woohoo! Fantastic news.

115

Yep. Give him time to login and all that, read the whole thread (he is naturally going to want to know how it got started and to read the words of encouragement and pledges of prayer). And most of all, give him time to compose. This is going to be a tough one for him.

116

I’ve just made a small donation. Not to help Poly and Skull, mind you, but just out of spite. Take that, Hal! :stuck_out_tongue:

117

Hehehe…hey, if people want to contribute just to teach me a lesson, well, I suppose I’ll just have to find a way to live with that…

118

Pretty much why I donated. Come on dopers we can show that sheep dating SOB what’s what.
:smiley:

119

I can only afford to contribute about half an oil change, but sent! :slight_smile:

You got something against Armenians?
