I came to The Styx to post a compliment to Louise for her response to an odd link from a new poster on the "Organisational Suicide" thread in DH. Reading every post in that kind of detail is a skill that I couldn't exercise that thoroughly for more than a day or two (ADD does that, y'know) and I appreciate the attention that all the Hosts/Admins give freely for us.
Plus, I do appreciate that reading some of the drivel that I, along with many others, put on these boards must be close to a new form of Hell. So thanks and praise are offered.
Then Iread Twilight's problem and saw the careful and apologetic response to T, and I am further impressed and thankful.
Now, where is the Organ Fund? Thanks again.

The Floating Fund is HERE.
Give generously. I've had a peek at the crew Christmas Tree (just a glimpse; Jedijudy normally barricades the door on 1 December and all you can hear for weeks is the sound of ripping tinsel and swearing) and the present mounds are several feet lower than last year.

Just made a small donation to replace the tinsel that JediJudy ripped up. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Xpost with Loth's inspired comment -- AfreakingMEN! And wodka. And mulled wine, being The Season, and all!

Ditto on all counts, HB.
Having been absent for some time (on and off over all my years aboard, really ), returning to the Ship to find an open and genuine Administration still willing to engage with members' frustrations and concerns (do I sound like a fricking campaigner yet? Shittingles ) is refreshing and encouraging.
Not even sucking up. Just kudosing as is apt. [ 04. December 2012, 21:59: Message edited by: Mullygrub ]

Thanks! Really! You mean y'all can hear me? I may have to take that beautiful coverlet that Firenze made and use it as extra insulation against the noise.

Many thanks to the crew. I've added to the floating fund, despite the suggestion in Heaven that Donald Duck invented a way to refloat ships with ping pong balls. ![[Biased]](wink.gif) [ 26. December 2012, 03:13: Message edited by: Palimpsest ]
