Donating to the Poly House, the Easy Way

[ZEE]

*sigh*

i want to help but i know nothing about this newfangled "Paypal." Is it the same account i used to set up my PolyPlus? If so i do not remember my password. Sorry if you explained this in the OP already, I am discombobulated today. I need an AAHZ-Summary™ of that again.

Also i do not trust the US Postal Service, because it involves human beings. We all know what AAHZ thinks about human beings...

thanks and walk me through this please

I have no idea if paypal is what's used for PolyPlus. Hmm, how to transfer funds without sending a check through the mail...hmm. Paypal should send your password to your email account if you ask them to on their site...yes?

Go to the paypal site, punch in your email address and ask for your password.

[ZEE]

er.. whats the PayPal site...?

sorry i am a PayPal Uber-n00b. Also i am AAHZ and need an AAHZ-Summary™

[Lancer]

Go to any search engine and punch in p a y p a l ,that will take you to their site.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather send a check AAHZ? You seem as technical as me, and I'm terrible.

If you write what I tell you on the back of the check it really can't be stolen and used. Worst case, and this is very unlikely, someone steals it but can never cash it. Maybe they can blow their nose with it or train a puppy, but that's it.

Actually punching in p a y p a l brings you to the search choices, the top ones are all paypal.

i guess i could send a cheque. I need to dig up the addy and what to write again in that other thread.

Sorry I have been a bit under the weather lately, and am also rounding the big 30 in my life. I have been very slow and confused about stuff, and also an emotional roller-coaster lately in real-life too. Im not sure whats going on. Also i sleep way too much...

anyways enough excuses i will write the cheque and send it tomorrow then. Sorry for the delay but as i explaned above i am feeling unyarr and strange lately.

EDIT- just read the OP i see the address there

i dont know what the hell is wrong with my brain lately...

[Lancer]

AAHZ, I'm going to hit 50 in April. I'll tell you one thing for certain, it's not uphill from 30 to 50.

Make sure you're getting nuf vitamins. A thou of C and a generic multi provides the basics.

You need a good woman that will look after you.

Do yourself a huge favour and work on those eating habits. I rounded the corner on 40 last year. After 5 years or so of *really* bad eating habits I burnt out and crashed hard. It's not fun.

You can make a big difference just by adding a small salad with lunch and dinner. No cooking skill required , just throw some raw veggies in a bowl.

/on topic

You can cut the odds on the donation being intercepted by putting the cheque inside a folded piece of paper. If someone holds the envelope up to the light, they won't be able to see the cheque. Out of sight, out of mind.

Thanks for your discretion, but it wasn't necessary.

[Lancer]

Ok Thoth, thanks for helping out. Also, very good point on the folded piece of paper, forgot about that. :senile:

[Zkribbler]

We only currently have $50 to go according to our funky math to complete Zkrib's $500, if everything goes at it appears it will. That makes us $100 short with Zkrib's contribution included. That's very doable.

$50?! That's great!!! Almost there!

[Theben]

I will try to send that $50 this weekend.

Maybe a little extra, after I count my nickels and dimes...

[Arrian]

Having read the thread and seeing the accounts of others scraping together their nickels to donate, I am properly chastised, and have donated $50, via PayPal.

Ding, ding, ding ,ding ,ding,ding ,ding! We've reached our initial goal! (Assuming no one flakes)



This puts us into Bonus Territory!

They need to get hooked up to electric and water. A flush toilet instead of an outhouse, a bedroom for Irish, all stuff they'll need.

Electricity, water, flush toilet, and a separate bedroom for the kid...all important stuff!
