Sometimes folks just go to their favorite message board and bypass the General Message board. For those who don't know, Brian A. Whitney our founder has had a stroke and our members have started a drive to help him with his medical bills. He didn't ask us to - we wanted to. Anyway, please click on the Support Just Plain Folks donate button which is in the right column. It's a paypal button and it is easy to do. Even if you can only afford $5, please consider donating it. Here is Brian's latest post. Hi Folks, Thanks so much for the support and concern. I just updated the Donations Honor Roll (which is the top post on all the boards Colin) to reflect the new donations. 6 generous folks have donated 165 dollars which will cover the co-pay for one emergency room visit (I've had several) and 2 doc appts. (I've had dozens). I think even with good insurance, we're into 5 figures, but the whole thing is well into 6 figures and growning (I have 3 hours of therapy per week at $85 dollar per 12 minutes). But it's been helping a lot and I am now walking without assistance (awkwardly and not very far, but it's getting better). I have much higher hurdles to overcome, but at least I can get myself around the house okay). I will tell the entire (amazing, harrowing, lucky and miraculous) story once I can type a bit fast than 5 words a minute. (This has taken an hour with breaks). Thanks again. Please do NOT donate money if you don't have extra to share. We're getting by and many of you aren't doing as well. If Linda didn't have insurance, we would already have lost everything material in our lives.. but even if we did, we are still around and that's all that is really important. It was such a close call that all the rest is a bonus! You guys are literally my extended family and I really appreciate the care and support!

Yay! 5 more names have appeared on the donors list. That makes 12 so far. (I think there are a few more. Do you think it's tacky to copy and paste them here?

14 paypal names now. For those sending checks by mail, the names will take a little longer to show up.
If you want to check and see if your name has showed up yet, check the Donor honor roll post that is at the top of every forum. If it hasn't shown up yet and you used paypal, give it a little time, because Brian is only able to type 5 words a minute right now and then he has to rest.
Thanks so much. You folks are great.

Over on the link I posted my idea of getting the local chapters involved, and suggesting that they may want to do an open mic concert and charge nominal admission(definitely no more than twenty dollars apiece). You might even be able to organize one out near where you live. Nice to see you on the boards again.
Peace,
Brian

22 names, now. Sorry for bumping this up so much but I am trying to make sure everyone gets a chance to see it. Sometimes if you miss a couple of days on the board, the posts slip down and then you are out of the loop.

ok Janet Snow is having her Pig Roast/Field Party in Ky probably in May, and now for the Texas folks that Ky is to far it's been suggestive for me to give a Bash N Crash benefit here at the shores of Lake Lavon where I live..the RV/campsite hookups are just around the corner from me..with restroom and shower facilities, there is also a place with a covered roof with electrical hookups...the best and biggest catfish is caught in this area we could have a fishing tournament too for the ones that like to fish ending up with a fish fry....also could have a a chili cookoff for all you prise winning cooks too...and of course singing and music and acts playing off and on during the 3 day campout,, swimming in the area too...so if anyone wants to join in or think this is a good idea please let me know so I can get the ball rolling...thanks glyn
