Pay it forward: Someone gave me a star when I was unemployed...
Edited on Wed Jun-21-06 01:50 AM by BlooInBloo
... The first person wanting a star to reply here gets one from me.

Thanks to someone!


EDIT: I just got home from the bar after watching Miami smoke Dallas, and I'm a little tired. I might not get to it until tomorrow - patience please...

EDIT EDIT: PM'ing me is also allowed - it's isn't necessary to publicize your desire for a star - I shoulda thought of that from the get-go.

5. There is a poster here on DU called SwampRat .... I would like to nominate
him or her. He/She is the best DU has to offer ..... has made me feel welcome when others are just outright mean to me. If you want to pay it forward, pay it to her / him

6. Sorry to be slow getting back - I'll take care of it in the morning!
Thanks for the heads-up!

(been busy finding out exactly how close to nothing I know about how to do my new job - woohoo!)

7. I've been broke for EVER, but plan on donating very soon.
I hope everyone knows that some folks without stars work crap jobs and barely get by.

9. Things CAN work when everyone does what they can...
... It worked for me previously, as a recipient, now it continues to work with me in this instance being a provider.

At the very least, there'll be a couple more people with stars. If there's more, so much the better.

10. This is one of the things I love best about DU...
There are times I've came away from here screaming, but when push comes to shove, most people here really care about one another.

Even in the midst of a heated debate, there are friends who truly care about those around them and their country...not something you find on just any forum. DU is unique in this way.

8. Wonderful idea!
I'm tucking that away for future use when there is an excess of funds in our bank.
