Bernie is going to love me!

I thought the donate button said $10, not $100!

That's how you support your candidate and also learn a lesson to look more closely before you click!

So since we are here, anyone else have any election time faux pas incidents to share?

I expressed (with a hundred dollars) for Bernie's birthday message to see Elizabeth Warren jump out of his bd cake.

I wonder if he really got that message?

Grateful I did not originally use my checking account details because it keeps your last CC details.

But I think we'll be okay. I have some options to make it up so it won't be a big deal. My wife does piece meal transcribing from home so she can do an extra job and pick it up. She's leaning toward Bernie also so maybe I can get her pumped up for it. Thank you so much though, I have not been extended that level of kindness before. Online or otherwise.

Thanks for the lift. It's not as bad as a friend of mine who unintentionally signed up for a year of Eharmony. Lol.
