    Come on guys, and gals

    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.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    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.

    Maybe it would help if I paid my bar tab?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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.

    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.
