Geez okay 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.

lol No way Richard. I don't want you spending your own money. Besides, I hate baseball 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.

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

i'm making a donation!!!

just don't tell me you are into horseracing!

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?

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.

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!

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!

[bluekat]

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

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.
