I have no pride: Anyone who wants to send me money, please feel free to do so! :P
Seriously, I agree with you, Michael. It's like the boards have become the "Webmaster Bank". Some are legitimate, many are not. It's also disturbing that sometimes the generosity outweighs the need and the recipient is fine with keeping the extra dough.
Heck, I had to come up with about $2000 out of my own pocket when the kid totaled the truck (which WAS paid back to me, BTW
). A couple of years ago I had about $25K in medical expenses - I cannot even fathom getting on here and asking for help or letting anyone else get on here for me and announce they had sent me money in order to solicit other donations.
It was MY expense - not yours, lol!
And if I die, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE KID IF HE BEGS!! I have a ton of life insurance.
