@DavidTheDavid

If you have a tracking number for an item mailed, please post it in your invoice thread. It would be helpful to have some for Paypal. Thank you!

OK, so @DavidTheDavid will be out for at least today, he's on the injured list with a strained back. If you don't get an invoice, just pm me, I'll catch up, but I may be slow. I'll copy him and Jason

I have a Joker sketch that @AndyFish created years ago, it's absolutely wonderful and has been hanging on my wall for years, colors not faded at all! Thanks for the offer, Andy. Sorry for the delay in the invoices, I had company for a few days and was trying to catch up when my computer decided it was tired. I don't type well on phones. Then I went back to sleep this morning, when I didn't plan to;) So @Readcomix thanks for the help, Gene! If you are missing an invoice, just pm me and tell me what item you contributed. I'll send it. @DavidTheDavid has been doing a yeoman's job sending out most of them and copying me. He would be the one to tag if I'm not around. @jaybuck43 is also helping, @crassus has been doing the updates along with Jason... @Hibou has been helping with the flow of the thread...Lots of great helpers for Jim. A special thank you to @Readcomix and those of you donors who sent your own invoices and copied me I have more than 100 pms, I'm going to try to make sure they are all at least read this morning. If you wrote to me specifically (not just saying thanks on an invoice) and had a question or needed me to respond, please bump the pm because the only way I can do this is last pm first. Hugs to you all...just fantastic work everyone... I'm hoping to have a decent cushion for Jim because if he is on Social Security Disability Insurance, he says he won't be able to continue his "business" I'm hoping he recovers enough so that he doesn't need to collect Disability but we won't know that for months.

Jim's update! Sorry it's late, I was having a little trouble getting my pc to work before. "As of 5 P.M.,12/27, we are tentatively at $23,348.55. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Each day I regain a little energy, and now I have to be careful about over confidence. If I move at all quickly,I start to wobble and lose my balance. I'm used to making strides. This inch at a time stuff is frustrating. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)"

Just a reminder, if you buy a book someone is "donating" you are still making a donation as far as PP is concerned. This has nothing to do with tax deductions, they allow you to send the money as personal. Paypal is holding funds because Jim is not sending tracking numbers for the "purchases.

I'll take these for $20 shipped, many thanks...for the donation

Thanks @Readcomix Gene and thanks Jay...I just remember he was young, nice looking with dark hair...definitely could not pick him out of a line up, but one of us remembered the other person the following year, that's why I have 2 pieces. I THINK his name was Paul and I THINK he worked on one of the 80 million Spidey books. 2001 was the first time I went to Chicago and the first time I saw an Artist Alley, I was so enthralled, I kept wandering around. The next year, San Diego was a complete zoo, with so much stuff going on, I just remember the people I went to meet, they were all eBay board people.

We have a whole bunch of incredible people on here, I keep witnessing more every day. Thank you all...

Tonight's update, courtesy of Jim himself! " As of 5 P.M.,12/26, we are tentatively at $20,322.28. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)" I also asked how he was feeling and here is that update:) "better a little, but still dysfunctional. the therapy makes me optimistic. god bless ...."

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We will have another helper, tomorrow... @jaybuck43 offered the first day, he's finally off for a few days. Thanks, Jason!

Here is Jim's recap for the night! "As of 5 P.M.,12/25, we are tentatively at $19,706.26. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)" That number is a fantastic start! I hope we are on our way to $25k... Great job everyone!

Done, if I've missed anyone else, PLMK! Also, it's fine to send an invoice and just copy me ...

I'm not far from the spot where Mass, Vermont and NY meet, so it depends on WHERE in Massachusetts;)

How early? I have a box in my guest room, this set of guests leave Wednesday morning;)

Thank you...I was looking on the spreadsheet for the book, you guys were so fast it was sold before anyone could list it!

Nice idea, but they are stored frozen, and they defrost very quickly... lol...If you are in NY, you can drive up, it's only about 4 hours I've actually mailed blueberry cake to Greggy;) ..and no, I'm not mailing blueberry cake this week;) However...I will sell the recipe for either desert, both are family recipes and not in any cookbooks...$25.00 or best offer! All proceeds to Jim!

I'd mail them out if we could do that, but the whipped cream filling won't ship well;) I think $25k is probably more realistic than $20k...would love to have that as our new goal. That way there would be an emergency cushion in case SSI doesn't kick in when it's expected, and stuff always happens.

Tell me about it, I'm opening a 2nd box of tissues... Have a great night everyone...

I got this from Jimbo a while ago...so these are the figures for today...and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. "As of 5 P.M., we are tentatively at $16,883.80. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)(thumbsu:

A lot less calories this way;)

Just hop on a plane, I'm sure I have enough for a few more;)

I promised someone cookie pictures...I will post them as soon as I can feed my crew and they leave;)

Thank you @vaultkeeper great information! I'm around, but cooking...so I'll be back and forth ...as of 5 minutes ago, all pms were answered. Thank you all!
