I just gave a star to a random starless person.
I hope that some other DUers who are able to do so might consider doing the same.

I :loveya: DU

5. I have done it before, and it is fun!
I have even gone on star-flinging binges before! LOL! I was not going to do it this time because I signed up for a modest monthly donation and I am still recovering from being out of work last year, but I couldn't sit back and watch us not meet the goal if I had $10 to spare.

7. For your kindness, one more - a fav of mine from WAY back when:
I really, really, love this song (and if I ever get a new girl friend it will be my song to her)

8. I just found out my old star expires at Aug 21st tonight or tomorrow at midnight ;(
I am unable to donate because I don't have a credit card or paypal ;(
When you lose your star can you still send messages to other DU'ers?
I can't remember how that works.

33. No thank you...
this is not about me. I only posted this to encourage some fellow DUers to look for folks who need stars. Plenty of other folks have done this before me. It's tradition, actually.

Well, I must say that I hope it is true. That what goes around, comes around.
Thanks

23. When you click to donate, there is a question about if you want the star
to go to another person. You just enter their DU user name there, and they will get the star :-)

24. Just make sure that the amount you want to give
is what you meant to.

Pay pal was giving me the fits this afternoon when I did that.

35. I did that too! Just went into a random forum that I rarely visit...
And the first person I saw didn't have a star!

I was so glad to do it!

I :loveya: DU too!
