Last year I mentioned that I would likely let my subscription lapse, and someone here wordlessly re-upped me. (Thanks, whoever that might have been.)
I’m just hangin’ out, waiting for an opportunity to restore balance to the Force.
See my latest post on this thread.
If “Walrus” still needs help, let me know, please.
Thank you,

Oh, heck, I can do it tomorrow!

Oh my goodness, thank you SO MUCH tristesse!!! Very appreciated! 
OttoDaFe, this lowly 2000’er thanks you from the bottom of my heart.
Gosh, this is pretty embarassing. But things are pretty damn tight these days and I would truly appreciate the help.
Thank you very much in advance.
Done.
For some reason I am having difficulty signing up with the one card I have with me. If someone can help me out I can repay once I get back to the states in a few weeks. I know it is last minute and if it too late, no big deal.
Done.
Damn that was quick. It’s good to have people in other time zones. I’ll PM you when I get back home.
The generosity here among the community, despite our many viewpoints and differences never continues to amaze me.
Thank you very much.
De nada. Almost everyone I know is in a feast or famine situation these days. It’s truly dizzying.
Can anyone (including Larry) help me out? I HAVE the money, but can’t get my payment to go through because the security number on the back of my Visa card is worn off and I can’t get the payment to go through without it. Yes, it is now ONE HOUR from my expiry (or maybe two hours, Chicago time?). Any way, I realize that the odds are slim at this point, and it is ENTIRELY my own fault, but if someone can give me a hand I will glady either pay them back or pay it forward to someone else. Thanks so much! (How does this work? Do I email you or PM you my SDMB password, or what? I don’t have enough time left to read the thread and find out for sure!)
Thanks in advance, whether you are able to help in time or not. (If my Charter status expires, I won’t need the help as there will be no time constraint and I can get my card situation straightened out).
You should be covered Tenar. I just got the confirmation.
WOW! Thank you SO much for helping out a moron in need. Please let me know (here or in PM) whether you would prefer $$ payback or a pay-forward to others in need (again, once I get my damned card replaced so I can use it).
You are very kind, RJKUgly. I know it doesn’t really mean anything to have “Charter Member” status, but I kind of like it anyway, so I really appreciate your help. Thanks again! 
You’re fast, RJKUgly.

You’re my hero too, Larry. I really appreciate the effort. Thanks!
No problem at all Tenar, glad to help. I understand about the charter status. It isn’t a huge thing, but like a old favorite shirt I’ve had it for a while now and have gotten used to it.
Don’t worry about payback, if you can get your card problems wrangled just sponsor someone else if the opportunity comes up.
And I know a couple of others were waiting to help out as well, and I didn’t mean to swoop in and cut someone else off, but I thought with the deadline you mentioned I shouldn’t wait.
eta: Sorry about that Larry!
Heck, no - I’m just kidding, of course. It’s cool that it’s a little hard to sneak in there.
Could one of you please help Tinkertoy?
Would be very much appreciated.
