CPUWIZ Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 Thanks to everyone who was kind enough to think about Inky and his family so far. We have decided to extend this until the 20th, simply due to snail-mail donations, etc.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIXcoffeehouse Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Sooo I'm pretty new to the boards but this message caught my eye and wanted to help. So a week or so ago I put a bucket out in my coffee shop briefly explaining what's going on with Inky's kids, and we're at $13.54 so far...hopefully will get more in the next few days (it's hard explaining to the 80 year old who comes in what the heck atariage is...lol). Anyway, I wanted to extend a portion of our online sales as well, so anyone who purchases from www.fixcoffee.com for the rest of the month will have 20% donated to this cause. Please put in your memo atariage or something...thanks again to all who are doing this...good to know there are people like you left out there.

Gateway Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Nice idea, Juls! That's cool of you to gather donations through your coffeehouse. Even though I don't drink coffee, I applaud you for your efforts! It is nice to see that this thread shows there are still many generous people out there in this half-baked world of ours. Inky's family is in good hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'm speechless. I really don't know what else to say. When I went to work this morning, I was purposely trying to think of at least three good things in my life, and the first thing I thought of was that I have so many friends around the world.

FIXcoffeehouse Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Morning guys! Just wanted to give you a quick update, we're up a little past 17 bucks right now (even the crotchety old lady put some change in..yay!) and for the rest of this week we've renamed one of our drinks to "Inky's Pink". Anyone who buys it, we're throwing the money in the bucket. Hopefully we can get these stooges together and come up with some cool stuff in the next two days. Talk to u soon!

MacGurl Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I just finished getting my PayPal crap re-verified (changed banks). Is it better to send a credit card payment or money from my bank account (or does PayPal take the same fees for either)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 PayPal premier accounts will take the fee from either one. That's the drag of upgrading to accept credit cards - if you don't, you don't lose any of a transaction from checking, but if you do accept cards it's taken out of both.

doubledown Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I sent in a donation. Just wanted to make sure you knew about it and got it before the deadline. Inky, I hope all is well with the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 what was the total, if it's not too intrusive to ask? ~$2000.00 Which reminds me, I just found out about the $500 a month withdrawal limit on PayPal's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I'm very touched by everyone's generosity. I thank you, my wife thanks you, and so do all my kids. FYI, This was totally 100% CPUWIZ's idea. Thank you my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Not quite, and she does carry a rather large wrench! The point being that I had nothing to do with this at all. Thanks again, everyone. Freinds all over the world. I guess I am a pretty lucky guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
