Catnipped - 17 May 2005 01:19 GMT
I asked Victor and he kindly volunteered to use his PayPal account to
collect donations for flowers for Tweed (Christina Werbsell) to send to her
hospital room.

There are several international florists that I've found online that we
could use (I just Googled "International Flowers") if you all would like to
choose one or choose an arrangement.

Tweed is going into the hospital today for surgery to remove what the
doctors believe is a malignant growth from her abdomen.  For others who
would like to send a card, here is her hospital address:

Christina Websell
Ward 31
Leicester General Hospital
Gwendolen Road
LEICESTER
LE5 4PW
United Kingdom

Victor, could you provide information for sending payments to your PayPal
account?

Thanks all.

Hugs,

CatNipped

I for one would love to donate for flowers.  I already have her hospital
address, and planned on sending a card forthwith.  I believe, late last
night, she posted the address that she will be staying at while recuperating
from surgery, after release from hospital.

yeah, thanks. I've sent my contribution. I hope it's not too late.
I'm always a little behind on this newsgroup.  

Oh!  And I get to keep my job, at least for another year! The company
told the contract winners that they wanted me to stay, so I'm staying.
It's sortof nice to be needed.  Exhausting, but nice.

I found a nice florist in Leicester with an online presence. I'm thnking
either the Haselbury Bucket-tied:
http://www.eden4flowers.co.uk/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=287
or the Rainbow basket:
http://www.eden4flowers.co.uk/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=315
Delivery costs 4 pounds, not sure yet if they'll add tax. So we're
talking something between 29 BP and 39 BP (53 and 71 US dollars). I'll
buy what I can with the money I've received through the end of the day
today. :)
I also have a donor that is going to send me a check by regular mail,
that is also ok if you don't feel comfortable with ebay. Just let me
know how much to put you down for.

Both are really lovely! I don't mind which you pick, I'm sure she will
love either of them. :-)

Thanks victor.  I kind of like the second one, but either is fine.  Please
let me know if you don't receive my contribution via PayPal.

I like both, but if *I* ever get sick, would one of you send me this one:

It's the can of Pringles that sold me.  My *FAVORITE* "chip" in the whole

Victor, I sent something this morning.  Paypal makes me nervous.  Can
you let me know if you got it?

Don't worry about it, I think we've covered the cost of the flowers
now... :)

Contributions might contiue coming in, I didn't know about this til
today.

Ok, we have a saying in Mexico: "cuentas claras, amistades largas",
which roughly translates as "clear finances yield long friendships". The
flower company billed my credit card exactly $62 USD. Total donations
received total $58.65 in Paypal and $15 via regular mail (not here yet,
but it should arrive soon). How should I handle the extra money? One
option would be to not cash the mailed-in check, but that might not sit
well with the donor.
Another option would be to take out of Paypal only as much as I need to
cover the total for the flowers (minus my contribution) and leave the
balance there for the next time we need to make a donation or something.
I can take screenshots of the totals and put them online so that we
don't forget how much was leftover from rpca money in case it gets mixed
with personal transactions.
A third option would be to start an rpca paypal account and transfer the
leftover money there. Several people could have access to it and we
could all use it to send donations to various causes.
What would you guys like me to do?

Sensible saying!

Personally I am happy to leave the money in your account, with a record
of how much there is (maybe you can upload the screenshot to Catslaves
or something?) so it's there for the next time we all want to donate to
something.

Deb.

I vote for just leaving it till the next time it's needed.  If you're
worried about forgetting, just post here how much is in there with a
specific subject line and it will be archived in Google.  Be sure to deduct
any interest your credit card company may charge you.

Hugs,

I'm with Carnipped. We always seem to have some sort of need every now and
then and this could be a way to keep something extra for anyone who needs it
next time. Thanks for the extra work Victor.
