Come on guys, and gals

[suddenseer]

The island is having some financial problems due to software upgrades, and stuff they have no control over. i heard through the grapevine that Jeff, and other admins opened their wallets to keep this place running. That should have not have happened. Come on folks, click the donate button. if everyone gave a small amount we would be covered. I am a regular member. i have no special privileges, or perks. I just believe what these guys are doing for us.

PS, the admins donate lots of their time fixing server/internet issues that we never see. They don't get paid for that.

Do the right thing.

I'm a bit short this month but I'll try and give something.

[W4GPL]

Thanks Tim! Though I'd like to be clear in saying the most recent software upgrade did not cost us any additional funds. The big ticket item is the monthly server rental. Up until April, we were more or less covered by previous donations. I had to pay for April and now May 100% out of my personal funds. Not a big deal, happy to do it, but your contributions are very welcome! :) Thanks y'all.

[PA5COR]

I'll have another try, keeping the home here alive ;)

[NQ6U]

Maybe it would help if I paid my bar tab?

Didja win the lotto or something? ;)

Nah, I "sold" Texas to the Mexican ambassador. He thinks it's going to become their thirty-second state: Baja Oklahoma. Couldn't get him to go for the bridge, though.

[PA5COR]

Come on guy's pay the rent for our "home" ;)

[suddenseer]

Come on guy's pay the rent for our "home" ;)Maybe we could show premium stuff like the PBS station beagathons. I would be a willing DJ. Come on folks. If everyone gave $5.00 it would make a huge difference. Click the donate button. Before, it was not as easy. Come on, click that button.

[suddenseer]

Come on guy's pay the rent for our "home" ;)Thank you Cor. If every poster sent $5.00 the Island would be healthy for many months. I have no special perks here, i could be banned tonight for attacking another Island member. Click the DONATE button. Please, and thank you.

[suddenseer]

Bump keep it going.

Are you referring to the goat incident? I thought this was never to be spoken of again.

Well ..... I only made mention of an "unfortunate" incident .....i'll deny anything else!! :yes:

[W4GPL]

[PA5COR]

Just woke up, Good morning, and yes, i know i can be banned if i fail, till then i will not pass a call for the rent to be paid.
Saturday wen tot the local ham fair, not bought anything, just 2 Papst 230 volt 12 cm fans for a project, not the usual loads of stuff, so i decided i could put some in the kitty.

Don't let Jeff carry us for free.... we are better as freeloaders over yonder, no special things needed, just the cameraderie here is good enough.
Thinking i paid my ( coffee) tab in full now at the bar ;)

[suddenseer]

I want to keep this thread going. Most of you folks, $5.00 won't kill you. Jeff only requests help when he needs it. Those of you that clicked the Donate button, thank you. You don't have to post here, just do it. Let us keep the Island floating.

[N7YA]

I need no convincing, of course ill help, ill get on it in the next day or so. Considering the last time we were asked, its been a couple of years, and that held us for quite a while. Lets not be like other hams and be stingy...$10 or $20 wont kill you.


Great work keeping this place as awesome as it is. Ever since i landed on these shores, i never stepped foot back at the other place...and i never had any problem with anyone there, i just like the climate here better.

[N7YA]

Tim, im not sure i want to ask, but i must...what is that pic in your sig line? Tell me its just a guy sleeping with some cookie dough on his face.

[W4GPL]

Tim, im not sure i want to ask, but i must...what is that pic in your sig line? Tell me its just a guy sleeping with some cookie dough on his face.It's an image from Pink Floyd.. I don't quite recall the context though. It's some sort of hallucination.

And yes, it's horribly disturbing. ;) I'm glad I have signatures disabled.

[N7YA]

Ok, drug related, i can deal with that. I was hoping it wasnt a police photo of someone who didnt deserve to meet that end.


Every time i go to Google images for something, i always get hit with a seriously distrubing image or two. Stuff you just want to forget.

[W4GPL]

Yeah, it's a creation of Syd Barrett's very troubled & polluted mind, I'm 99% sure.. I thought it might be from The Wall, it's not.

Tim: Where is that from? I know it's PF, but I can't place it.. is it a video from Piper At The Gates..? :dunno:

[KK4AMI]

I just sent mine in thru PAYPAL, hope I did it right.

[N8YX]

Yeah, it's a creation of Syd Barrett's very troubled & polluted mind, I'm 99% sure.. I thought it might be from The Wall, it's not.

Tim: Where is that from? I know it's PF, but I can't place it.. is it a video from Piper At The Gates..? :dunno:
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

Was just thinking about that album yesterday, for some reason.

[W4GPL]

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.;) Yeah, I know the name of the album.. was just being lazy. I love it.. I love the early 'pop' stuff PF did. :lol: I named my dog after Syd Barrett.. not sure that's a tribute, but my dog also had serious mental issues. Lost the dog as early as we lost Syd (mentally)..

[W5IEI]

I reckon my America Racing wheels can wait a few days.
As the Islands official freeloader hater twas time I put my money where my mouth was.
However Jeff when I hit submit, it said I have a PayPal account.
I think they are mistaken.
If my donation doesn't show, let me know. It wouldn't accept my cc had to use debit.
It happens at some online places, don't know why.

[suddenseer]

Tim: Where is that from? I know it's PF, but I can't place it.. is it a video from Piper At The Gates..? :dunno:It was taken from an actual 8mm "art" film documenting one of Syd's early acid trips. Some shots, he had pickles on his eyes, others lemons. I had a feeling only Jeff could identify it. Good deal.

Thank to all of you who clicked the Donate button.

[wa6mhz]

I donated enough to buy me a nice S-40. That will help out some.

[suddenseer]

[N7YA]

Fortunately, this wont set me back from buying my truck too much...its the trade in that i will take the hit on.

Thank to all of you who clicked the Donate button.I looked at the film. It appears to be mushrooms he was picking.

[N7YA]

I was kinda hoping it was poo...ups the humor value a notch or two.

[suddenseer]

You gotta love it. Mixing a call for donations with Syd Barret, acid trips, 8mm art film, mushrooms that look like Mr. Hanky. Only on the Island will these topics be an amalgam to raise donations. I want to keep the Island floating. It only takes smaller donations from more members. Your donation is a secret between you, and Jeff. Every donation makes a positive impact. To the folks that have not hit the DONATE yet, please click it. Thank you. I will change my sig photo when I see the donation banner disappear. :hyper:

Bump.
For the week day only Islanders, please hit the DONATE button. If every Islander who posts on a regular basis would give small amounts, there would be no need for the "help" banner. I want to thank everyone who clicked DONATE.

Peace, Love, Dope
