High donation gets a SFR from the glove box of my van.

Thank you every bit helps!

So far Delta is the high donation, SFR will be worth it….let’s help drag Frankie across the line, the Fuentes are a great family but they aren’t going to be giving him a senior citizen discount.

Should Delta remain the high donator and win, might need a ruling on whether or not his “donation” violates any resolution rules.

But then again, that’s like putting the cart before the horse.

No it wouldn’t because he’s giving a gift.

Frankie would probably argue it’s a tax write off.

The prize is whatever I decide to put into a USPS small flat rate box!

I’m sure someone can vouch for me.

It never dawned on me that $25 would be the prize winner. However, if that comes to pass, I shall pass the prize on to one of the other donors. Z's choice...I'm sure he can come up with a method to pick the lucky winner...Gonz

Nah, Z came up with an instant ruling so your IR would be safe.

To your point about passing the prize, what happens if you’re not the winner and someone gifts it to you? Hmmmmm…. Think

Franky may carry a big stick, but the lovely Caren has been sent the total. I’m STILL waiting for anonymous to text me his/her addy for the loot. Someone pulled a sneaky one sort of. When I have the info I’ll officially close it , but I’ve sent the total amount to Caren.

Frank has the info, just not the technology on his flip phone. Hopefully he can manage a website now to shop.

even though I clicked the link to the gofundme, being unfamiliar with modern ways I still thought it was a computer generated fake (although that would also be considered modern ways) and checked in here without fear...

last night Jamie texted me regarding venmo, told him what little I knew, asked what did I need to do and he replied "go buy a box of cigars"!!!

I'm giving this the yada yada yada treatment and it ends with TLC (didn't lie did I Z?) depositing TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!

People may think I'm just being typically adorable whenever I say magic happens here, but for real,,,Magic Does Happen Here.

It's not simply the money that hit my heart, it was the acts and the thoughts of the folks here...yet again...pulling together in a RAOK that had me verklempt!

Not gonna overdo it, but I want to thank the contributors and also those who followed along while putting out only the best of thoughts toward my family.

Don't wanna ignore all the humor that has surrounded this criminal act either...pretty, pretty, pretty funny Jamie.

Pretty funny.

You guys heard it from the horses a….mouth!

Z is pretty.

So I’m gonna give this to the end of this coming week for anonymous to step forward. If need be just for the prize and I can keep your secret safe. If anonymous doesn’t surface by then, I guess we’ll have to figure something else out as the next highest bid was a 3 way tie.

Tomorrow is the last day Mr or Mrs Anonymous…..PM the name used in your donation to tie to your handle here and the grand prize is yours.

If not I guess we’re gonna have to put Whistlebritches and MACS in a ring to fight to the death gladiator style.
