Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Oct 06 - 01:21 PM Hey....The Garg is okay anymore.....pretty much. He once wished me well on giving birth. Well....it was something better than "I hope you die!" Spaw |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Oct 06 - 01:03 PM Sometimes Gargoyle really surprises us. Maybe he'll choose this time to put some interesting item in the auction (via a Mudcatter who is a member, since he can't list or bid as a visitor). A nice and naught ditty perhaps, or a book of them? SRS |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: MMario Date: 20 Oct 06 - 11:54 AM Like most royal familys - if they don't, they borrow someone elses.... Descendants of Louis I, duke of Bourbon have ruled in France (1589–1793 and 1814–1830), Spain (1700–1868, 1874–1931, and since 1975), and Naples and Sicily (1734–1860) |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: JennyO Date: 20 Oct 06 - 11:41 AM I didn't know bourbons had balls ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: SINSULL Date: 20 Oct 06 - 10:49 AM Bourbon Balls - my take on Rum Balls infused with an excess of bourbon. Aged in an air tight tin. They ferment slightly. What could be better - dark chocolate and bourbon (YEAH, I know, Sour Mash)? |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: JennyO Date: 20 Oct 06 - 10:17 AM I saw Gargoyle's previous post too, but it seems to have been deleted. Garg's just acting up a bit. Ignore him. All I can do at the moment is send some warm Oz energy and thoughts. I hope they help. Money's too tight just now I'm afraid. |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Zany Mouse Date: 20 Oct 06 - 08:19 AM Thanks, Mick. I saw THAT post but a previous post had been referred to. Rhiannon |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Big Mick Date: 20 Oct 06 - 08:15 AM Look two posts up from your last post. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Zany Mouse Date: 20 Oct 06 - 08:14 AM Erm, am I missing a post here? I can't find anything from Gargoyle about a scam. Now, about these bourbon balls. What are they? Do tell! They sound VERY interesting. Rhiannon |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Jeri Date: 20 Oct 06 - 06:53 AM Garg, nice 'refresh'. I don't think Max is Nigerian. He doesn't have the accent. I sent something last night. This works, not because a few people give a lot, but because a lot of people give what they can. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 20 Oct 06 - 02:55 AM I still say it looks like a Nigerian Scam....with the usual suckers lining up to beat the drum.
Sincerely, |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: SINSULL Date: 19 Oct 06 - 04:47 PM Lots of CDs, books, candy, and more to come in the auction. Take a look, bid high and bid often. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: SINSULL Date: 19 Oct 06 - 08:44 AM No scam. And, gargoyle, I believe you owe it to Jeff to donate some trinket to the auction. Some personal item? A poem maybe? It is sure to be a best seller. In fact, why don't you offer to appear at a Mud Gathering and sell autographs for the cause? Meantime, jacqui and I are working on craft fair table. If my "trinkets" pass British inspection I will put some in the auction along with a batch of the infamous bourbon balls to be shipped at my cost anywhere. |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Andy Jackson Date: 19 Oct 06 - 04:59 AM A small donation by paypal was so easy I almost feel a fraud. But Mudcat has widen all our worlds so much and this man is obviously a driving force. Dads are always there and then suddenly there is a hole in your life. My thoughts are with him and his. Andy To Gargoyle: If it is a scam then at least my concience is clear and a few less pints of Guiness wont hurt me. |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: katlaughing Date: 18 Oct 06 - 10:58 PM WOW, Bill! Are you going to take phone-in bids?**bg** I will be working on a necklace and earring set this weekend, for the raffle. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Bill D Date: 18 Oct 06 - 09:13 PM I am making a wooden bowl for the auction, all proceeds to Jeff. It will be on display at the Getaway, but I'd like it to have LOTS of bids....I'll try to have a separate one for the raffle. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: GUEST,Jon Date: 18 Oct 06 - 08:52 PM Best wishes. Not a lot I know, but I mean it. |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Jeri Date: 18 Oct 06 - 08:30 PM Jeff, take care of yourself! I've been where you are now, and you lose focus on whatever isn't right in front of you right 'now', your life goes on 'hold', and you don't realize the amount of stress you're under, even though you think you do, until it stops, and you just know you can keep doing that for as long as you have to. Well, you can't. Eat, sleep, and make some time just for you, even if it's just a little bit. And I'm NOT going to claim to be in 'Mothering mode'. I'd be a crappy mother. I'm in the Know-It-All Friend type of mode. You have a load of friends here. Some of us are pretty damned weird, but we care. I'll send something via PayPal when I can find where I left my e-wallet. (I have an account out there somewhere!) |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Leadfingers Date: 18 Oct 06 - 08:10 PM Jeff - I lost MY dad six years ago - I hope you dont Mislay yours too soon ! Hang in there mate - and DONT ignore SINS and co ! |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: katlaughing Date: 18 Oct 06 - 07:31 PM Same here, Kendall...my book is available, too, all proceeds to Jeff. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: kendall Date: 18 Oct 06 - 07:11 PM One of my books is in the auction. All proceeds go to Jeff. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: wysiwyg Date: 18 Oct 06 - 04:09 PM (Refresh) I now have FOUR sponsors supporting this effort. And they ain't even Mudcatters. ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: jacqui.c Date: 18 Oct 06 - 12:15 PM I'm going to put this post on any threads that might produce results for forgive me for multi-posting. We are going to arrange for a raffle at the Getaway to raise funds for Pene. What we need are items to be put into the raffle so, if you have anything suitable and are either coming to the Getaway or can get the item to me or to someone who is coming to the Getaway please let me know and I can include it in the list of prizes that I'll be putting together over the next two weeks. If you want any further info PM me. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: wysiwyg Date: 17 Oct 06 - 09:42 PM Hey, that sponsorship thing I mentioned upthread has taken off! And, in case anyone hasn't seen this thread yet-- refresh. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Genie Date: 17 Oct 06 - 11:37 AM Thanks for letting us know, Spaw. Jeff, please try to take care of yourself a little, or there will be some other parts turning "azul" too. PayPal doesn't like me (for reasons I can't figure out), so I'll have to use the other avenues Spaw suggested. Prayers and love coming to you and your dad. Genie |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: GUEST,Pseudolus at work Date: 17 Oct 06 - 11:32 AM My prayers are with you as well... Frank |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: MMario Date: 17 Oct 06 - 11:27 AM Jeff - Can't add much to what has already been said. Take care of yourself and take a day at a time. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Oct 06 - 11:22 AM Same from me. Take care of yourself for everyone's sake. Jacqui, in Mothering Mode as well. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Big Mick Date: 17 Oct 06 - 11:10 AM I agree, Mary. Methinks our friend needs to take better care of himself before he ends up in the hospital with Dad. Mick, in Mothering Mode too. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: SINSULL Date: 17 Oct 06 - 11:05 AM I for one continue to worry about you, Pene. I know you are not taking proper care of yourself. Eat, sleep, take some time to breathe. Mary, in Mothering Mode |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: wysiwyg Date: 17 Oct 06 - 09:11 AM Just take what you need, Jeff. We love you! I'm setting up a little project here at home... I'm doing quite a bit of aqua-jogging these days at a rate that has been garnering local interest, and I already have two sponsors signed up. Of course I would welcome any sponsors from Mudcat..... Details available via PM. ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Pene Azul Date: 16 Oct 06 - 08:53 PM Words fail me... I love you folks and the Mudcat. When time allows, I will implement some nice improvements to the site. I some work already done, and some interesting ideas that I been saving for the fixes to the hardware and data. Don't worry about me; I'm staying strong. Jeff |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Oct 06 - 06:16 AM Whatever winds your watch. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Oct 06 - 10:08 PM Quicker to use PayPal or send it to Max. Just, sometimes people want to be anonymous, whatever. Wish I could do more. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: GUEST Date: 15 Oct 06 - 10:08 PM If people want to make an anonymous donation, why not send a money order directly to the address provided? No offense but not all people on the internet are exactly trustworthy, even some here at Mudcat. If you aren't comfortable with sending funds via PayPal, I would encourage you to send a money order. There is no record of a checking account number and you can be sure that your money actually gets where you want it to go. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Oct 06 - 09:12 PM Good idea there...... Anything at anytime will always work I'm sure. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Oct 06 - 07:53 PM If anything big comes in, of course I will forward it right away, but what's in there now is not enough to make a substantial difference on its own. ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: katlaughing Date: 15 Oct 06 - 07:04 PM They might could use if before Thanksgiving, from the sounds of it, Susan, but I do think that is a lovely and fitting idea. |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Oct 06 - 06:20 PM There are a few bucks left over-- very few-- from the Friends of Rick Fielding Fund that was originally set up after his passing to handle "anonymous" donations toward the shawl/collection for Heather Fielding. The bank has been harrassing me to close the account and I think this is what I've been waiting for. I guess before I do that, if anyone wants to make an "anonymous" donation to the elf fund, I can handle that as well. I'll close the account in time to send it as a Thanksgiving check. PM me or co-signer Mmario for details. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Rapparee Date: 15 Oct 06 - 06:08 PM Well, up ya go! |
|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Oct 06 - 03:40 PM You can donate through Mudcat as you might normally do as laid out on THIS PAGE -- you can access it through the jumping catfish at the top too! The address is right there. Simply note that your check or Money Order is for the Elffund/Jeff. I think Max can handle it that way without too many problems. And here's the addy for any of you too lazy to click to that page(;<)) The Mudcat Café PO Box 3006 West Chester, PA 19381 (610) 696-9055 Thanks to all who have responded so far and I hope this additional info helps. I'll try to keep this thread towards the top for a few days and maybe we can do some real good. Spaw |

Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: Louie Roy Date: 15 Oct 06 - 02:43 PM Please post an address where we can mail a check Louie Roy |

|
Subject: RE: About JEFF/PENE--Please Read&HelpOut From: katlaughing Date: 14 Oct 06 - 04:41 PM Thanks, Spaw. I haven't been to Max's thread, yet. Really sad to hear this. I've a small bit I can add to the pot. If we can all give a little it will add up. My love and support to Jeff and his, and thanks to Max. luvyakat |
