I will donate to DU a quarter for every reply I get in the next hour

[LynneSin]

Getting ready to make my donation to DU. It is now approxiametely 2:30 (i'll give you an extra 4 minutes). For every reply I get I'll add an extra 25cents to my small donation I'm already making.

I'll check back on this thread at 3:30.

(note - cutoff will be 200 posts only because I can afford so much)

Edit NOte: 1 reply per person

And there's probably a limit of 1 account per e-mail account and I think there's a rule of not allowing more than one account per person etc. etc.

100. Yes, that is why he got so pissed and now he's taking care of biz

Until I show that I have acquired better finance managing skills. He put it all in some long-term investments and it's locked there... I'm telling you, I'm grounded for a while, he gives me just enough to buy the essentials... I suppose that's what I need...

[progmom]

105. how old are you?

:shrug:

my brother sucks at managing his finances, and i am constantly having to bail him out, but i would never take his money and put him on an allowance...

[valis]

115. I'm about 30. But my life has been very odd...

The thing is that I SIGNED papers and voluntarily gave my brother the powers he has. It's for my own good. He's well off himself, he would not cheat me or anything... It's hard though...
