one of our old friends , Capn Mac, has fallen on hard times. He's lost his job, he's lost his house.
but he hasn't lost faith and he hasn't lost his friends.
In the past we've helped our brothers and sisters on these forums... injuries, hard times, missions... One of the good things about QuittinTime is we have a good and faithful treasurer in Calvin.. if you would like to help Capn Mac out with a donation.. send it here to Quittin Time and Calvin will collect it and send it on and give us an accounting.
Please feel free to add your thoughts and good wishes...

Use the Paypal Donate button on the bottom of the page.
or
Send a check or money order made out to Quittintime with a notation in the envelope that this is for the Capn to:

I'll collect the funds and get a check out to him down in Texas.
Thank you for your support!

There's been alot of views to the thread, but I've only rcvd one confirmed donation. Have you posted this announcement elsewhere? I'd have thought there'd be more contributions for the Capn.
If we move this to the Auction House I believe Luka has that set for non member postings............

Ken, went over today and yessir, there was your envelop. I'll make out the check to Quittintime (Folks, please make all donation checks payable to : Quittintime)
I've already paypal'd Mac with the paypal donations and will make out a check for the direct mail contributions.
From him, me and all your longtime internet acquaintances, thank you!
Please keep the donations coming, I'll forward payment in a timely manner. Use the paypal button here on the bottom of most pages, or mail (make check payable to Quittintime)to: Quittintime p.o. box 351 Maumee, Ohio.
Please include your screen name, email address, and regular mailing address so I can pass on the info to Mac.
I usually pass on this information as the recipients most often wish to extend their thanks. I do not include amounts given, so no need for embarrassment there-any amount is a good thing, so don't hesitate to drop a 5 dollar bill in the mail.
thanks again to you all. calvin
One other thing, I go more often to the post office if I know I'm supposed to receive some mail-so if you could, let me know either with a public message here or try our PM message system.
It's been a bit hectic with demanding customers, an ailing 95 yo MIL and the best-a daughter that's expecting our grandaughter.............SOON!

Also, who would you be (besides Mr or Mrs T? Get me the info so I can include in to Mac, ok?
thanks!

I'll be on the lookout.
And thank you very much for your interest in this venture!
A real pity the other venues don't take a bit of a chance in something like this. What the heck are they afraid of?
That it might just do some good? or that it probably will be a liability that they just can't afford?
Beats me.
Just tends to rub a guy the wrong way when this seems to be the place for help, but can't get a break unless one of the sites shut down or something's needed...............
but I digress.
Both Mike Smith and I and I'm sure the Capn' thank the heck out of you and the others!

My check for Cap'n Mac hasn't cleared my bank yet. Did it arrive? Did you deposit it?
If it got lost somehow, let me know and I'll replace it.
