Good luck on the move Max, and thanks for keeping The Mudcat going. Basement life ain't all bad ;-)
Now where's that Paypal address again so I can pay my bit towards the extra cost.

Max
next only to bereavement a house move is the most traumatic thing you can do. We all want Mudcat back a soon as possible, but we want your move and the family to be the priority. I can survive without the 'Cat for a month, er week er well a Bank Holiday Folk Festival maybe - oh hell it will be hell, but we gotta be strong.

Chaps...(and chapesses...) the Mudcat is not the whole internet!
And the internet is not the whole of life.

May day is a good day for the move.
The rest of us should be out dancing the sun up (we will, at Holme Fen with Pig Dyke Molly at 5 in the morning) dancing in the streets, singing and celebrating the end of winter. Not sitting at home staring at computer screens.

Max, all the best with your move, and thank you for Mudcat, in case any of the above sounded unappreciative.

And $40 extra per month???? That sounds a lot, given that we were having to have a whip-round for a disk drive lately. I hope you've done your sums and can afford it!

Hmm, so many people mention the downside of moving. How about the upside? A new home, a new garden, the chance to paint rooms lovely new colors? Perhaps you are moving to save money and gain peace of mind. Perhaps you will be closer to friends and family...

Whatever the reasons are, good luck and thanks for all you do.

I'm sending a check towards the new expenses.

I moved 25 YEARS ago, and still haven't unpacked & sorted it all! Good thing, too...there are no flat spaces left. If I took stuff out of boxes, it would have to go on the floor.

SRS...maybe if Mudcat lived in the upstairs...like on a desk with a comfy chair, Max would stop by and chat occasionally....*grin*

Sod moovin the hoose! Thats a piece of cake but when I think of the server rooms I've worked in, the thought of shutting everything down, unbolting it all, packing it up, physically moving it and then doing everything in reverse pluc reconfiguring it all again is enough to give me the heebie jeebies and nightsweats.

Is there a PayPal link for Maxes relocation fund?

Folks, let's try to raise the additional $480.00 (or more) of increased costs in the new place for the first year. Let's do it this way. Use Paypal or send a checque, and send me a PM. I will report daily how much we raised in the fund drive. You should PM me your committment. No names will be posted, just do what you can. I am going to use $20.00 US as the suggested amount, but whatever you can do will be added to the tally. Then maybe we can report to Max he has his next years increased cost covered. Yes, No?

All the best,

Mick

PayPal takes a cut when you transfer money; last time we moved money around between ourselves for a good deed PayPal benefitted also.

Well..... I had hoped for a better response. Thanks to those that have dropped me a line so far. I am holding off on mine so's I can make up the difference to get us to the $480.00 bucks to cover the first year increase. Mine will be a minimum of $80.00 without regard to what else is given. But right now I have only $80.00 that folks have let me know about. That leaves a $320.00 shortfall. I hope that folks are pitching in and just not letting me know. C'mon folks, help me out here.

All the best,

Mick

Mick, it's a great idea. I missed your posting about it until today. I will paypal something but it will have to wait until after the 9th. In the meantime, I am also getting back into making jewellery, so I'll try to get something in the auction soon, too. I think you'd probably get more interest with a separate, dedicated thread.
