Hermi, no problem. Go check your email!

Do you guys have any idea how, I don't know, how SURPRISED Ginger is gonna be when she logs in to her account tomorrow? Overcome, overwhelmed, surprised...

This is just SOOOO cool!! You all the greatest!!!

I'd like ot thank Costacat and Marm for their excellent help in getting all of this put together with accounts and interacting with Ginger. I'd also like to say thanks ot everyone who helped figure out the best ways to get Ginger what she needs and make it as easy on her as possible.

There is no question in my heart that we have a lot of very special people here at TVCH.

I know more help will be offered and will wait till later to say something so I can include everyone.

Cool Hermi. I'll let you know when I get it, and will forward a copy of the PayPal payment notice to you.

Lance, thank you. But I'm really not doing anything that special. Or anything that any one of the rest of us wouldn't do. Ginger needed help, and we are ALL stepping up to help out a cyberfriend. I've never met her, but hope to sometime. In the meantime, she needed help, it took very little time for me to get her set up with PayPal, and to pass along the info to the rest of you.

It's ALL of you here, at TVCH, that are doing so much!

Question: I just went to my PayPal account to donate to Ginger. Do I select Quasi-Cash????

Costacat, I agree someone else would have--although you stepped up and did it. (just aa Marm did in contacting her, and Maris did by starting the idea ball rolling, and so many others) I agree with you, that others would have. And I know anyone else would say it isn't anything special.

I think helping someone (in any way at all) is a special thing.

That of course goes for anyone who has helped in any way. I too have sent her a donation through Paypal.

Abby, choose services. Just indicate no delivery address needed on the next screen.

well, i just sent through PayPal, and it said recipient was sent an e-mail.

however, i still have a question. i sent it through on the credit card last used through PayPal (and that is on my account).

since last using PayPal, though, that credit card expired. i'm still using the same credit card, but it has a new expiration date.

i thought PayPal would ask for me to update credit card information, but they didn't.

so, hopefully it went through....PayPal seemed to indicate it did (by saying recipient would receive an e-mail).

i guess the new expiration date doesn't matter since it is still the same card on account.

at least i hope so.

Abby, if it doesn't go through for paypal, they will just ask you to update, then things would work fine. At worst you will just have to give them updated information.

okay, lance. i guess it went through, or else PayPal would have told me. i have no problem updating the information. in fact, i thought i was going to have to do that anyway.

dh just told me he thinks we already updated the information.

i just would hate for ginger to get an e-mail saying money is there, and then it not be there!

i just got an e-mail from PayPal verifying payment, so it should be okay.

I'm going to have to wait til I get my own computer back from the shop in Memphis since all my info is stored on it. I'm still in, though, as soon as I get my computer back. Paypal will work fine for me.

Abby, you would've gotten kicked out if you'd try to click Send Payment with an expired card. Probably DH is right... you guys got an "your CC is expired" email from PayPal and one of you went in and fixed it. And you can verify payment by clicking My Account to see recent history. You can also check your CC and expiration date (from My Account, click Profile at the top and then click the link under Financial Information for Credit Cards. It'll show the last digits of your card number and expiration date.

Tess, I'm sure Ginger is gonna need help for several months!! But I sure hope you aren't sans computer that long! <wink>

it might be a good idea to keep ginger's PayPal account on each new page.

or maybe the post that explains what ginger wants?

I'm having trouble with the Target link, but I'll get that email giftcard to her by tomorrow.

Okay, for the SD shopping/shower trip so far I have Seamonkey and possibly Pamy?

Anyone else from So Cal want to head down to SD for a get together?

Seamonkey, do you want to stay the night and possibly go to Balboa Park the next day? Have a mini retreat?

It will take me minimum of 2 weeks to crochet the afghan. I will be getting the yarn on either Friday night or Sat morning. I have no other plans for the weekend except crocheting so I can work 10 hours on Sat & Sun and then 4-5 hours per night when I get home from work and then the next weekend 10 hours per day.

That would put the soonest for a get together either the 7th or 21st (14th is Valentines and I have to be here for my hot date with my son )

Let me know all who is interested!!!

Could the mods put a "header" at the top of this thread with our options:

1. Paypal--give link
2. Bjs and Target giftcards--give link
3. "Survivor shower" after Ginger gets settled
4. California shopping/shower party

Maybe that will make things easier for people.

I'm so touched by this outpouring of love. We have moved Ginger to tears! I'm hoping that she has a really good day today!

Y'all are the best!

OMG {{{{Ginger}}}} I just found out about the fire. I will send some money through paypal. I am so glad you and kitties are safe, but so sorry that you and so many others have lost so much. Thank God you are alive and well.

Z-Mom, I would love to go to San Diego. The 21st would be better for me but I may be able to work out the 7th if you decide to go then. Please email me (in my profile) when you get a chance and I'll give you my phone number.

The people here just bring tears to my eyes. What amazing people come to TVCH.
