Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:19 pm     I know we're all tempted to go for the "joke" gift, but I'd rally like this to be something nice. |
Willow_Woman | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:21 pm     Aero, don't be shy now, tell us what you really think. Pcakes, yes, the book thing is a great idea! I know I would LOVE it if someone donated books to our Media Center. We definitely should do something for his students. He said that was the main reason he came on...to be a model for his kids. (At least that's what his daughter said in an interview.) |
Draheid | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:24 pm     Pcakes2: IMHO, the only person I've seen on the show that had any real un-selfish desires to come out of this show is Gerry. That's why I made my suggestion above about helping him achieve his goal of helping out his school and students. I know most educational systems need some sort of help. Gerry is one of the few people that I've seen actually trying to do something about it in a big way. That's why I think it would be great if someone could orchestrate a donation in Gerry's name with credit to TVCH members to Gerry's school. Does anyone know anybody on the Bill & Melissa Gates Foundation? Ok, I read the preview and, I'll add, if Danielle doesn't get any prize money, perhaps a scholarship for one or both of her kids as well. Who knows, maybe SVC could come through again?!? JMO - FWIW |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:24 pm     That's true. A book donation is an excellent idea. |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:25 pm     Does anyone know what school Gerry teaches at? What ages? Special needs, etc. Are we set on Gerry getting books for his school? Willow, your a Jason fan, what about the bible idea? Would that be appropriate? If so, next houseguests please.... |
Spygirl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:30 pm     Cool!!! This is great!!! |
Flyonthwall | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:32 pm     Can I ask how this is going to happen? Who will collect the money for all the gifts and decide what gift out of the ideas offered to buy? How much money to spend on each gift? etc... Take for instances Jasons' gift..there are many versions of the Bible, and not knowing his belief doctrin then it would be hard for me to buy him a bible..other than a King James version. Anyhow, by the time all the money is collected, the gifts are bought and then figure out where to send them, the show will be long gone. It's a good idea, but this can grow to be a huge project. We can't get folks to donate to the TVclubhouse because they are afraid to use PayPal and such, and have issues with how the money is used. Do you feel it will be any different in this case? Just wondering about all this.... |
Maris | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:32 pm     Dont laugh but I think everyone ought to pitch in and buy the surplus T-shirts that admin ordered and send them to the BB staff and HGs. After all the HGs are going to get compensated nicely for entertaining us and I dont see anything wrong with bailing a guy out who ordered too many t-shirts and has to take a loss. I would contribute to that effort but I think the HGs don't merit anything special and I dont think you would even get an acknowledgement for your efforts. So why give a gift that would benefit both. |
Flyonthwall | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:34 pm     GREAT IDEA MARIS!!!!! That's a winner in my book! I'd gladly do this one! Neil should get some recognition for his part in this entire clubhouse organization. He's the real means to us being here! Thanks for that thought! |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:35 pm     I think that's a good idea Maris. |
Spygirl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:37 pm     Cool!!! This is great!!! |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:37 pm     Fly, I understand your concerns, but again, it's just a little something...we're not talking big money. With regards to Jason, I can buy a nice quality used bible, and mail it to Willow who can write something nice in it, and mail it to the next person. I'm not asking for donations, and then buying them gifts. As far as Gerry's book drive, I'll give anyone interested my address, and they can mail a new or used book to me. This won't be that difficult to pull off in a short period of time. |
Aerojunki | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:38 pm     Willow..I use to be a BIG Amy & Marc fan..I wanted them to make it to the end..now I could give a chit`about either one of them..The only ones I want to say anything nice about..is the freaking lizards. I think they need some more crickets! (S) . |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:39 pm     Can we do both...send along a tee shirt for each guest? |
Draheid | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:41 pm     Pcakes2: Ummm, unless your willing to spend $$$ shipping this thing via overnight (which would still only allow a maximum of about 30 people to sign it provided they sign-seal-send it same day each time) otherwise, you MIGHT get it to 4 or 5 people via priority mail before it would need to be in L.A. for presentation ... and ALL of that presumes ASP would allow such a showing of internet support considering he doesn't really like us anyway...Just my FWIW |
Cyn | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:44 pm     t-shirt idea is ok! but, the only one that i feel deserves anything is gerry. i think the book idea is good. he could even donate all of them to a local libray in his name. a few of the guests i would just stare at them if they asked me the time of day. but, basically i agree with maris. however, if the overall consensus says t-shirt, i'll contribute. tell me how... |
Spygirl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:44 pm     Maybe instead of shipping to everyone, we could post our comments in a thread and Pcakes could copy them down for us?? |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:49 pm     OK, I don't know how many people even want to participate. Maybe only 10-20 people per houseguest. Obviously we can't get it to everyone. Maybe you just particpate for your favorite. If this isn't something that anyone is interested in, well, then this thread will end. |
Flyonthwall | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:54 pm     Pcakes, I think the t_shirt idea is the best one. The shirts are ready to go. Neil is set up on Pay pal so could collect the money quickly. then Neil could contact CBS and ship the shirts. If Neil is willing!! It gives the HG a gift, and recognizes this site. Accomplishes both goals. I'll pay for one t-shirt to be donated to any one of the HG. |
Spygirl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 09:02 pm     I'm in on the t-shirts, bible, and book so far. |
Suitsmefine | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 09:04 pm     NO, NO, AND HE!! NO!!!!!I am PO'D at all of them right now, NOONE gets any presents , they have been very bad!!!! I am to the point where I want Will to come back in the house and take the money from all of them!!!! |
Pcakes2 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 09:04 pm     Okay, maybe we can delete this thread, and set up one for tee shirts. How much is a shirt? Does that means only 12 people can participate? |
Cyn | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 09:08 pm     i'll pay for a t-shirt. but, don't want to know which one gets it. I DO want to donate a few books to Gerry. How do i do that? Pcakes2, I think that your idea is a wonderful gesture. i'm just really grumpy right now, that's all. |
Draheid | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 09:10 pm     Pcakes2: Would have to be at least 14 ... certainly would want to make sure that Arnold & Allison (Executive Producers) got one each!!! Not that they'd ever be caught in public with them, but it's a nice gesture at least!  |
