Who would give mouth to mouth to a Democrat?

[kayak]

Boat? Did you say boat?

[firewalk]

You're such a trouble maker! (-;

ROTFL!

Here's your wagon!

[Ligeia]

Yuck! That's awful!

[Servant of the Nine]

Nothing, absolutely nothing is half so much worth doing, as simply messing about in boats.

Who would give mouth to mouth to a Democrat?

Heeheehee. I've got to go back now and look at that wonderful picture of President Reagan to get this thing out of my mind.

[Ligeia]

Did you check the links at the beginning of the thread? Some of your questions may be answered there. I'd try and help you, but I don't know!

[Servant of the Nine]

Except messing about on FR.

Pay Up

Sargeant 'SharkFRee' reporting for duty. Are we 'carpet bombing', fishing, or just chasing down 'mullet' on this fine Sunday afternoon?

[dutchess]

Okay. Time for me to ante up. Add a one time of $100 plus I'll up my monthly by $50. (Yeah, the roof is finally paid for!!!!!) As alway, thank you everyone for your efforts!

[BADJOE]

$80,000 for the quarter is the goal

I add three times existing monthlies when we get close to the end. Right now Pre-existing monthlies were approximatelly $5,600.00 of which we routinely have about $400 that does not go through.

The goal does include three times pre exisiting monthlies.

[WIMom]

Give me a minute and I'll see if I can get your answers....

[Servant of the Nine]

I've got to go back now and look at that wonderful picture of President Reagan to get this thing out of my mind.

Lucky it's only in your mind.
It could be in your mouth.

Pay Up

Second that motion (FR, not the boat's!)

[BADJOE]

I'll do it. Thank you.

Credit OHIO with $100.00

[okimhere]

EEEYEW! I'll pay money to erase THAT thought. Name the price.

[WIMom]

The goal of $80,000 you set, that's for the quarter, right?

Yes.

What comprises the Receipts and Pledges To Date figure? Is it only new donations and new monthlies? Are the new monthlies multiplied by three to get the quarterly amount?

All new CC donations and snail mail contributions for the quarter. Monthlies are multiplied by 3. Badjoe uses a multiplying factor for estimation. It has been pretty accurate when all the contrubitions are in. I think it's 1.2 You'll here this called "Million Freeper Math"

Is the goal for new monies only, or a total quarterly goal mark you're trying to hit (which would include existing monthly donations? (multiplied by 3, of course)

This is a quarterly goal for new monies (cash and credit cards) but also include the regular monthly contributors.

If I missed something, let me know.

BADJOE sez we're good to go so here 'tis......... In a few moments I will post an announcement of a lottery ticket scratch off (Oregon's "Cold Cash" lottery). All details will be in the announcement. We will see how this first one goes and make changes accordingly. A little later, we will start the first of 5 tickets for "Freeper Fishin' Derby" where the rules get a little more complicated and, consequently, more fun. Get ready! Here she comes!!!
