I am helping...

[Desert Arabian]

I would love to donate some money. When mom gets home from work, I will ask her about it, I am sure she'll most likely say yes.

I hope she gets enough to cover the cost!

I wish I could, but my parents wouldn't want to send out some money to some 'strangers'. Best of luck to her and to those of you who are donating, your doing a great thing. :)

My husband feels the same way, luckily I can sneak around him!!!
I'm sure your prayers and positive thoughts will mean just as much Liana.

[Cataholic]

Ah, how to say this delicately :confused: :confused:

Anytime you donate to a charity, you are donating to a 'stranger'. I am not saying this to make you donate, since I can't do that, and don't want to do that...but, to say you can't donate to a 'stranger' is kind of odd.....to me....

I think it just makes more sense to post nothing, if you can't donate, you can't. That is your complete right. But, to mention the reason seems tacky to me, some how.

[robinh]

Sent something today - not much, but hope it helps.

[PayItForward]

Every Penny/Cent helps. :D

We couldn't give much either (As I am out of work at the moment) I am hopeing to give another donation next month.

Geez okay :rolleyes: I'm sorry I posted. Saying a prayer for Bassett. And just for the record--by 'strangers' I meant, my parents would think this is some cheap ripoff from some person online. They wouldn't understand. The reason I posted a message was to send some good thoughts her way (and posting that would let her know) and explain why I couldn't send more.

[primabella]

lol No way Richard. I don't want you spending your own money. Besides, I hate baseball :p If you really wanna go for it, you can always list a bunch of teams and I'll choose one and they'll be the team I like best ;) I just feel bad if you spend your own money on me. :o :o :o

WHO SAYS I'M SPENDING MY MONEY????

i'm making a donation!!!

just don't tell me you are into horseracing!;) :p

who's the closest team to your house??


this is my good deed for the month anyway....so you might as well take advantage of the fact that
by wisely choosing a baseball team you can do something for Bassett!!!!!

i won't tell anyone it's a form of gambling....

;)

[primabella]

lol Okay donating your money. Hmm...well I'm in Montreal so I guess the Expos?

[marysmerrycats]

Primebella
there's nothing wrong with your posting what you posted, you're just a kid and can't help what your parents say...
just pray for Bassett.

[primabella]

Mary - I'm glad you understand. I have. I've even made a few banners for Naomi (thanks for Richard's idea). I might end up scrapping them all but I can't decide between them. I was going to send her one via e-mail...

lol thanks Richard. ;)

I don't think my parents will let me donate either. I asked my dad yesterday, and he said no. He doesn't believe me:( But I will show him this again, and I'll convince him that this is a very good site, and everyone is nice here.:)
But I just posted to say that I'll keep on praying, and keeping Naomi and Bassett in my thoughts. I really want to donate too, but I can't do anything about it either.
Take Care!:)

[bluekat]

[AmberLee]

Charming banners, Primabella. I'm sure they will boost Naomi's spirits.

I like them all, but the pink one with roses really appeals to me.

OK, then, Bluekat, I'll take a page from Richard's book and put in an additional donation in your name. . . since you're in Toronto, let's make it $ 2 per Blue Jays victory for the rest of June. Just keep an eye on the scoreboard for me and let me know how many they win! :D

[bluekat]

LOL, I don't like baseball either, but yes, I'm cheering for the Blue Jays:p :D

I feel the need to more fully express my opinion. If you can't contribute financially, as I said earlier, that is really completely fine. It isn't my business if you do, just as long as I do. My 'issue' comes from the inane rationale...re: your parents. I assume, and maybe wrongly so, that you have an allowance, or pocket money, or are given money, within reason. That you would send that $5, $10, or what ever amount somewhere doesn't seem like it would really even register with your parents. You would simply do it. Just like you would go to the mall and buy a lunch, or a CD, etc. It is the rationalizing that gets me, not whether you do or do not contribute. It isn't that you should or shouldn't contribute, it is that, from my perspective, you are blaming your parents for something, cause it doesn't reflect on you, then.

Making contributions online is a very sticky area. And, there prolly isn't anyway for me to post my opinion without sounding like I am trying to bully you into something. I can only state that I am not trying to do that. I have this 'thing' about personal responsibility, and not owning up to it. I don't mean to signal you out Prima, I really don't.


It is for that reason that I think posting 'an excuse' should be left off...not the well wishes...the excuse..that is what my original post said.

It's not that I don't want to give my own money, but my parents won't let me. I'm not asking for their money.

[primabella]

Cataholic - I can see where your comming from and maybe your right but maybe your wrong. I don't get an allowance nor have pocket money. My parents give me money when I go shopping or buy a lunch. It's not like I have some to always bring around with me.

The reason I gave my 'excuse' was because I thought it would make me look bad just saying 'Good luck Bassett' without giving a reason why I wasn't donating. Oh well. I guess I was wrong and it made me look wrong for giving 'an excuse'.

I'm sure the last thing Naomi needs to see now, are people arguing over something that a quote from her caused. All I can say is good luck to her and Bassett and I hope everything works out for the best.

[Cataholic]

Prima,
You are right...maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong...who knows, and really, as your third paragraph noted, it isn't what this is all about. Sorry if I upset you, it really wasn't my intention.
Johanna

[primabella]

And I had no intentions on starting anything here on the board. Let's leave it at that and I apologize if my post upsetted you. You gotta have things happen to you for you to learn. Now I know I don't need to explain why I can't donate. ;) Thanks.

[Cataholic]

Prima, that is just my opinion. That doesn't mean it is right. I don't want you to back down from me....it is just my opinion, not yours....k?

[Nomilynn]

I didn't even realise this thread was going on..

And I have to say, my eyes are filled with tears. My grandma passed away a couple years ago. She was an AVID baseball fan.. she lived for it. She would plan her entire day around her gmaes. Her favourite teams were the Blue Jays and the Mariners. In fact, the night she passed away, she watched the Mariners win the world series..

I can't help but think she has a hand in the Blue Jays and this thread/idea :)

Thank you :)

[RICHARD]

no love for the expos. huh????:p

[Prairie Purrs]

Another win tonight for the Blue Jays . . . for Bassett . . . and for Grandma. :)
