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.Quote:

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.

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.
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
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.
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?
ok...:)Quote:

I know that Bassett is going to get excellent care, after all, with the really nice folks at Animal Critical Care getting all these Pet Talkers calling, they've gotta know this is one extra special kitty! :)
