Has anyone reached out to Mile High ? A boarder suggested that perhaps they would put the gofundme in their newsletter? I don't know them at all...so if no one has reached out to them and one of you knows them, would you please reach out? 
Same with any of the other sites.

I know at least one person contacted Clink, I contacted MCS. Perhaps Heritage? @Ricksneatstuff or anyone else who knows them...and if anyone is friendly with the Metro people?

Thank you

THE AMAZON LIST 

Their home address is hidden, but I have it if someone wants to send something directly. A few people have asked to send checks.

I put a link at the top of the first page, because I'm sure it's hard to find things by this point.

They are adding things slowly. The middle daughter who just graduated H.S. will be off to college in the fall.

I've finally returned home after being gone for a couple weeks. Thomas and I talked a bit via pm - always a nice guy.  I had promised him that when I was ready to sell off my Astonishing Tales run, that this book would be his. Sadly, that never came to pass. Anyway, the book contained within the spoiler is not for sale.

Someone messaged me last night and asked for Carmen's PP address. I was not near my phone where I have it in a text message and I  couldn't access it at the time. I have been looking for that PM to answer, but it's lost in a bunch of others...I didn't forget, just can't find the PM, so could you kindly bump it for me? 

Thank you

I bought everything on the list except the rubbermaid thingie cuz it messed up my ability to send it through the gift address.

The one requested was less than the minimum order so I couldn't add it and still have her gift address as an option.

Fix it @skypinkblu

Why does some of the stuff that I already bought still show as being needed?

They show on my invoice.

She's fixing that...she must have changed the numbers while you were buying ...after I asked her to change the blanket one. Not everyone is used to buying stuff on Amazon wishlists
