Believe you are right - but that is not the main objective of this happening....:cheers: :cheers:

This is true, but realistically, the prize is what draws the tickets. A buddy of mine broke his back in a hunting accident 2 weeks ago and I was going to raffle off a rifle barrel at the hunting site we frequent. I had a lot of folk speak up and want to buy a ticket, but the site owner nixed the idea saying that raffles were illegal in the state that the board was hosted in. I asked for donations anyway without the raffle and 50% of those that were all excited about a ticket got real quiet.

the prize is what draws the ticket money.

The patient?

Spike, how is our new-found friend doing? I hope he is not suffering too much, burns are the worst pain. With burns, every nerve ending in the burnt area is sending intense pain signals to the brain. I hope they have that under control.

Please keep us informed of the progress of him and his family. I am so proud of all the AS members here, stepping up to help out a stranger. I hope he will not be a stranger for long. I hope that after this is all over, he will drop on in to say HI.

Scooterbum, good on you man! What comes around, goes around. Good on everybody that has ANYTHING to do with this noble cause! GOOD KARMA!

Spike, Scott and everyone else, this brings a little faith back, knowing that when a good person is in trouble, his fellow Americans will pitch in what they can to help a person in need. Everyone pat yourself on the back, you deserve it.

P.S.- A first name would be nice, until he introduces himself. (unless he wants to remain incognito). I think I would remain silent, I would not how to thank all the people that have contributed! What a great country, and a great group of "Obsessive compulsives". (CAD Junkies)

I can only hope, if I ever find myself, or a close person in need, I have a bunch of people like you all to help.

Spike/Steve, Good news and bad news......

First the bad news wife just told me that I got a letter from the post office earlier this week (thanks for the timely info honey :censored: ). The check I sent to Spike was apparently damaged in the mailing process and was sent back to me torn in half and missing some pieces (glad this wasn't the electric bill :mad: ).

Anyway the good news I upped my order and sent it pay pal to Steve. I also kicked in the .59 someone was short on the fee's to make the donation a nice round number again. :cheers:


Oh yeah I rambled on in the note's on pay pal and forgot to tell you who it was from,
