Honestly, when I signed up for monthly, it was because I was brokish. I'm still not rich, but I'm less broke and can give more.

Or, will that explode a head somewhere and leave me in purgatory or floating around in hyperspace?

. . . can be summed up in one word: Paypal.

I despise that company.

Just now, I put an amount in, thinking that I could pay directly with Visa, and what happens? Paypal comes up.

However, I'll be writing up a check, tomorrow if that's the only alternative.

Democratic Underground is not a charity, and we are not taking donations. We are selling Star Memberships. Members purchase a Star Membership for whatever price they want to pay; in return they receive certain benefits such as having advertisements removed.

Some kind someone gave me one! I still just kind of stumble around in here and didn't know the skinny on the hearts until I just looked here in Announcements to try to find out where I should post a "THANK YOU so much!" to the anonymous donor.

I was having a bummer of a day, and your heart helped!
