    Gosh it's been so long since I posted anything although I read religiously every day on this forum..I guess I'm just shy. I have gone ahead and gladly decided to donate 5 dollars a month(4.03 sterling) after reading how much it cost to run avalon annually..might have to cancel my regular monthly wheelie bincleaner though 😂😂but who cares! I'd rather this forum stays alive and my brain be properly educated and informed and I'll try to be more regular with my input 💖 to all who read this and all who don't xx

    Folks, Hi:
    [Bill continues ...]

    This post is primarily for our newer members of the community, who may not know this thread exists.

    We're delighted you're here, and I hope you feel that way too. As you've seen, there's no advertising here of any kind, the entire thing is subscription-free, and you now have access to an immense library of searchable information, and the opportunity to participate and add to that as much as you wish.

    In various ways, it all costs quite a lot to maintain.

    We do need your voluntary financial support. A few of you have already made a donation on joining, and we very much appreciate that. (And there are other longstanding members reading this who regularly donate: we SO much appreciate that. )

    Even small amounts help. If every active member donated just $1 a month, the effect would be significant. $5 a month, and it's transformational.

    Please think about it. My own commitment is to continue to make the Forum freely available to everyone, including our MANY regular guests and visitors.

    Thanks for all your contributions, in every way. Those who've already made donations, thank you again, and you know who you are. It all counts.

    PayPal address: donation@projectavalon.net. To set up a recurring donation, large or small, please use the orange HOW TO DONATE button at the top right of this page.

    Thank you.



    I'll (RunningDeer) add one more link - Thank you for your donation.
    The donation link is also found at the top, right of every page. Thanks, Everyone.

    Mannny months ago I had a job transition period, and had to cancel my monthly small donation to Project Avalon.
    I am embarrassed to admit I never renewed it, due to just being selfish.
    I just reinstated my recurring donation, and I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!
    I can look you guys in the eye again, so to speak

    Happily,
    Pamela

    Yes yes, please everyone support the forum financially, if you are at all able. They say all the best things in life are free...but Project Avalon shouldn't suffer as a consequence!

    My 2003 RAV4 is getting up there in age, but Bill’s 1986 Isuzu Trooper is miles ahead of mine.

    ................ ..........Beep, beep,..............beep...........


    Bill, please delete if it’s inappropriate to add part of your post from this morning.

    Quote Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
    I have a problem that I'd not shared, that my very old 4x4 (a 1986 Isuzu Trooper that's done 235,000 miles) cracked a fuel line under the chassis when I crashed through one of the road blocks last week. I only noticed it the other day, and my full tank has been very slowly emptying itself with a little drip. I've not been able to repair it myself, and I calculated it'd be empty in maybe 10 days. (But I do have 2-3 gallons in reserve in cans.)

    So now I can
    1. Get that repaired.
    2. Get some more food for Mara the .

    I was unable to donate because none of my cards work with paypal :/

    Apparently, i'm still considered a "kid" with the cards i have because of how i got them from my mom, and i can't do anything online with them :[

    This is what happens, i could not activate my cards with paypal, but i was able to get a deposit on paypal from a friend into the paypal account i created. However every time that i try to make the donation it doesn't allow me and asks me to register a credit card :[[

    I'm not sure how to work around this

    I thought maybe it's because deposits on the destination go directly into a bank account?

    Could it be possible to send a paypal to paypal transaction to other member here and then they can make the donation?

    My head is giant right now out of stress of trying to figure this one out, so i'm sorry if i'm not making any sense about this LMAO :S
    Tired

    I'm not that savvy with this either, but I would bet the moon that someone is on the way to help you,.... just sit tight.

    That's how this place rolls.

    A giant head. Very tiring. We can’t have that, Mashika.




    Your suggestion is a good one. While we wait to see if someone knows how to do 3rd party transaction (Is that what it’s called? ), a few ideas come to mind. Give your Mom the cash and use her PayPal account. Send a money order. Purchase an on-line gift card through Amazon or other food places like iHerb and Vitacost.

    Bill might want to weigh in here about the gift cards. IIRC he has a friend that brings him his vitamins because it’s too costly to ship goods.


    UPDATE:
    Happy Birthday
