No thanks neccesary brother, your presence here has blessed all of us.
Well, we LOVE you, darling.
Obviously we’ve already covered the outstanding car payment, on Paypal donations alone and we’re well on the way towards covering the next one. We seem to have covered phone and ISP access, and have accumulated enough PC hardware for Poly to set up his own LAN. Not to mention that we have offers of cars (would life be easier for the family with two cars, especially if Poly will need one for work?).
Does anyone close to Poly know if the family needs assistance with other utilities and whether their major household items like the fridge and washing machine are in good working order?
I KNEW I should have previewed…
Welcome back Poly. May you and your family experience these holidays the joy which your presence on the SDMB has brought to so many of us.
Send it to aenea, honey…she will sell it and send the proceeds to Polycarp.
Because, no matter WHAT she says, she is a DOLLFACE! [sub]She says NOT, but as I told her…I say she IS, and…are you willing to argue with a ScottiMom? NEVER a good idea. :)[/sub]
If nothing else Poly can start trying to replenish his rainy day fund. I’ll be sending in my donation to you Scotti. 
I wish the very best for you. I will be watching for your posts and anticipating your full-time return to the board.
It has brought me great pleasure to see how much good will you have created. I know you are a very special person.
Woo Hoo!!!
(What? You never heard an English woman let out a war whoop?:D)
Polycarp, I can’t tell you how much joy it gives me to see your name on the left side of a thread. I can’t speak for everyone else around here, but what I have given you, what I have done for you, pales in comparison to what you have given me. As the song says,
And when you wake up in the morning,
You won’t believe it’s true,
That all the love you’ve been giving
Has all been meant for you.
CJ
Oh, why not do it again?
Woo Hoo!!!
Closing in on $1500.00
Just a practical note. It’s not uncommon for shipping costs to be comparable to the value of the monitor. Consider donating the monitor to a school (or dropping it off at the local hazardous waste disposal site) and donating money directly.
Divine Love always has met and always will met every human need.
And I’m crying at the beauty before me.
Very true, and this may be the case with anything less than a 15 inch monitor, maybe even a 17.
Welcome back Polycarp!
What would we have done without you? I can only speak for myself, but no thanks is necessry here- just keep that love in your posts coming.
-Have a Merry Christmas
I’m one of the people who’s kind of always been too shy to express just how deep my respect and admiration for **Polycarp ** goes. But when next you read this thread, Poly, I just want you to know this: We may not share the same religious beliefs, or have much association with each other here on the boards, but you are one of the main reasons I’ve stayed here so long. I want to be like you when I grow up.
May you have a good holiday, dear **Polycarp, ** and may your Deity bless you with every good thing. You are so deserving.
Much love,
Cristi
Both Tygr and Fretful Porcupine have spare monitors and live near Polycarp, so it looks like the computer problem has been solved without the need to ship a monitor.
What’s the next challenge?
Hee haw and Merry Christmas
The next challenge? Helping ensure Poly can keep his car to do job interviews and take care of his family. The $1500 drops to $500 to get the car back, the $500 will probably pay for about a month more of car. We need to see if we can get that number up. Scotti I’ve not used my paypal account in forever, but if I can remember the password something will be on the way momentarially. If I can’t remember the password I’ll make a new account and send something as soon as it is verified.
Enjoy,
Steven
Well, there is someone ELSE here who needs our help, someone who works VERY hard to allow us to HAVE this haven, and I am prohibited from posting about it. If you want to know, email me and I will provide you with details.

Mtgman, you don’t want 2 paypal accounts. They don’t like it–also you can’t set up the same checking/credit card account for >1 paypal account. Their site allows you to have them email your email address. Here’s the link.

I’m already aware of that situation from another source Cheri, and am racking my brains for a way to help out.
