    I don't know how we all kept this campaign away from you and your family for so long! Robs PM box has never been so active!!!

    For anyone that missed out (or anyone who already contributed and is interested) I have an item I will be putting up for raffle in the next day or 2... I will post a link here when I'm ready to start it up!

    Congrats to all involved--I would say this campaign has been a runaway success! So many generous people around here! =D> =D>

    Love ya Dave!!!

    Where to start...
    I just spent the last 20 minutes poring over the 4 threads here and the entries in the Booster website, texting back and forth to my 'little girl', my wife, and my son (who was aware of this all along).
    I cannot begin to express how much this moves us.

    As I'm reading through the posts on the Booster site I recognize your names from the PJ community, and a few from our hometown community. Every time one of you mention Hannah (about to lose it) my eyes well up and I have to suck it up and find my composure...

    The timing of this couldn't be more awesome, as I'm at 'work' and Michelle is at home paying bills. This is the first, very first time that neither one of us can be with Hannah. She is staying at her grandparents house 120 miles from her bedroom, struggling from the effects of her 4th round of dialysis. We have not missed even a single Dr's appointment together since her diagnosis in the fall of 2012 and we are all feeling the sting. Believe me when I say that this lifts me up more than you can imagine.
    The gifts you have provided are so hard to describe. The money will surely be used wisely and is more than generous. So generous! Very appreciated and acknowledged in this time where our thoughts are focused on whats the most important and the finances will be damned...
    The Real GIFT is the uplifting thoughts, the feeling of support and love. The undeniable ability to breathe a little bit of relief knowing that we are not alone and that this young lady from a small town in Wyoming has the hopes, prayers, karma, vibes, thoughts and support from real people! From those of you that we have met at shows, to the un-yet-met folks from all over the globe that care enough about someone they have never met... that just moves me beyond words.

    I've never been a 'hugger', but lately I've had to re-evaluate that. If I could, I would reach out to each and every one of you and, if receptive, let you know how much this means to us.

    I am forever indebted to you all, and a few of you will surely never be repaid in the amount that you deserve. I will try to stop by this place and check in with our community of support more often. It wasn't just the damn layout of this place that keeps me away, its really just too much on my plate at the time. I'm not fully aware of what has and hasn't been shared, but I'll try to let you know if you are interested. Maybe a PM would be best? I don't know, but feel free to drop me a line.

    Again, as the words seem oh so small... THANK YOU ALL from the very core of my being. Thank YOU!!!


    PS I want to 'quote' a few posts from these threads, but as you all know that function 'aint what it used to be' so bear with me.

    hey buddy...you gotta put your posts in bold , so people's eyes don't fucking bleed. :))

    quoting is not so bad but good luck with PMs...they may go on someon's "wall"...not sure any of us have figured out what that is :fp:

    oh yeah, the new smilies still kinda suck but I will admit a few have grown on me.     :bz

    Where to start...
    I just spent the last 20 minutes poring over the 4 threads here and the entries in the Booster website, texting back and forth to my 'little girl', my wife, and my son (who was aware of this all along).
    I cannot begin to express how much this moves us.

    As I'm reading through the posts on the Booster site I recognize your names from the PJ community, and a few from our hometown community. Every time one of you mention Hannah (about to lose it) my eyes well up and I have to suck it up and find my composure...

    The timing of this couldn't be more awesome, as I'm at 'work' and Michelle is at home paying bills. This is the first, very first time that neither one of us can be with Hannah. She is staying at her grandparents house 120 miles from her bedroom, struggling from the effects of her 4th round of dialysis. We have not missed even a single Dr's appointment together since her diagnosis in the fall of 2012 and we are all feeling the sting. Believe me when I say that this lifts me up more than you can imagine.
    The gifts you have provided are so hard to describe. The money will surely be used wisely and is more than generous. So generous! Very appreciated and acknowledged in this time where our thoughts are focused on whats the most important and the finances will be damned...
    The Real GIFT is the uplifting thoughts, the feeling of support and love. The undeniable ability to breathe a little bit of relief knowing that we are not alone and that this young lady from a small town in Wyoming has the hopes, prayers, karma, vibes, thoughts and support from real people! From those of you that we have met at shows, to the un-yet-met folks from all over the globe that care enough about someone they have never met... that just moves me beyond words.

    I've never been a 'hugger', but lately I've had to re-evaluate that. If I could, I would reach out to each and every one of you and, if receptive, let you know how much this means to us.

    I am forever indebted to you all, and a few of you will surely never be repaid in the amount that you deserve. I will try to stop by this place and check in with our community of support more often. It wasn't just the damn layout of this place that keeps me away, its really just too much on my plate at the time. I'm not fully aware of what has and hasn't been shared, but I'll try to let you know if you are interested. Maybe a PM would be best? I don't know, but feel free to drop me a line.

    Again, as the words seem oh so small... THANK YOU ALL from the very core of my being. Thank YOU!!!


    PS I want to 'quote' a few posts from these threads, but as you all know that function 'aint what it used to be' so bear with me.

    Good Afternoon all! Feels good in this thread.

    I haven't logged onto the site for a couple days, so

    1. Congratulations to the winners! <:-P

    2. Seeing the words 'hanging chads' makes me twitch uncontrollably 8-X ! I have faith that the raffle was more democratic - unless you have a thing against my beloved NJ Giants?? (Yes NJ, not NY, massive pet peeve ~X( )

    3. Wyoming?? I saw the ACL announcement, but i haven't seen any other news about dates in the states (hey, that rhymes, hehe ;)) ). If someone could send a PM with some enlightenment I would be appreciative. Not that it's any closer than TX, but a girl's gotta know her options!

    4. As a newbie side note, it was really cool to look through the list of participants and recognize a bunch of them as people who have been welcoming and friendly to me. But that makes sense, doesn't it? :)>-

    5. Could they make the emoticons any smaller? I don't know if my peace signs are actually middle fingers!

    6.Most important, keeping the Blacks in my thoughts
