| A Mod: "The Rantburg cupboard, it has no bread" said Mayor Fred |
| 2014-09-09 |
| as he grabbed the two middle knobs and swung open the doors. It need not be so. So Rantburgers, we need to fill that cupboard with lots of bread or how else can we continue to give Obama a strategy for this War on Terror? Plus, all the other info we gain from attending Rantburg U. Go online and check your bank balance, or check out which credit card is yet to be maxed out, and Mayor Fred will continue to govern this place we call Rantburg in his superb manner. Scroll down and keep looking.... you got the PayPal, the Amazon and the credit card. For credit card, click on the Donate button.... below the PayPal stuff are the icons of the credit cards and the word Continue, click it and you are a Go for your buying a loaf of bread. Need to snail mail a check to Fred? Or, have a question? Make a comment and a mod will help you. Fill that cupboard people, Fred can't do this by himself. |

| #29 It feels like rap to me, JohnQC, with all the internal rhymes driving the rhythm, which is a legitimate modern poetic form -- and much more demanding than free verse as taught in our schools. ;-) |

| #21 Fred, I am so glad that you do what you do. I have nothing. And I share it all with you. In the future I will be rich and can share more than nothing. Until then, you have only my thoughts and fair wishes. |

| #19 PP offers an alternative way of sending funds. Rather than putting your credit card (or bank account) info out there, you can create an account with cards you can procure at variouslocal outlets . I've been doing this for purchases from Europe. Keep a small float, then add funds just before I make an order (or a donation as in this case). That way if its compromised very little is subject to loss and nothing else is impacted like cc or bank info. |

| #6 "Fred can't do this by himself." No, he can't, and I don't know what we'd do for GOOD information without Rantburg. Sherry's donation advice is excellent, but I have an additional suggestion for those of us who buy from Amazon. NEVER buy anything from Amazon before FIRST going to Rantburg and clicking on Fred's Amazon button (it's over there in the right-hand column below PayPal "donate" button, at least on my browser). It may take a little practice until the muscle memory is formed, but it will form quickly and then become a habit. In fact, I did that this morning - it's reflexive. I doubt he makes much this way, but at least it's something more than he gets from donations alone. And thanks for the reminder, Sherry - I'll put a check in the mail tomorrow. |
