There are now **FOUR!!!** :)🙂

Due to the kindness if one of our friends who wishes anonymity, we now have 4 subs for you folks!

So get those PM’s in to me, okay?

Thanks

Quasi

3 years ago, I had to “let sag my proud ears” and ask someone to please pick up my sub for me, due to the fact I had just filed bankruptcy and lost my job because of this friggin’ dementia, so I DO NOT want you to feel reluctant to send me a request, okay?

Also, your name WILL NOT be mentioned as a recipient. I want to stress this. That will be up to the giftee.

As to why I’m not doing this anonymously (someone asked this in an e-mail)?

You have given my wife and myself so much more to help us over “The Troubles”, that I guess I just want you to know I’m trying to “give back”.

I love youse guys and ladies!

Thought y’all might like to know what the odds are, as of today, of being gifted an SDMB 1 year membership…  
**1:1!!!** 🙂  
Remember, I’ll draw all the names Christmas Eve at 7pm, so you still have time, if you’d like to send me a pm.

Thanks

ps: I hope I calculated those odds correctly! 😉

We have 6 requests, so there are now 4 chances out of 6 for a gift subscription from me and our anonymous friend and you can send me a pm all the way up till 6:55 pm Eastern Time tomorrow.

Thanks
