Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005Conan's PayPal Fund
Who will volunteer to handle this? Someone well-known and trusted by most if not all. Meghan Noecker Sherry, Kelly H Steve G. and Lauren seem like good candidates if any of them would want to take it on, but there are others, too. Will anyone volunteer? > Who will volunteer to handle this? Someone well-known > and trusted by most if not all. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Will anyone volunteer? I would rather not do it.

Well, at least you know you are trusted. Plus, per your earlier post, I think it is too soon to need money for him. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday someone great will whisk him away. > Who will volunteer to handle this? Someone well-known > and trusted by most if not all. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Will anyone volunteer? I have a PayPal account, but too many people here hate me and wouldn't contribute because of that. There is someone on rpca who also has one whom we've trusted on several occasions to use it for paying a vet bill for someone who couldn't afford it (or the afore-mentioned plane ticket and flowers, etc.), but again that would be on my recommendation and I think that would turn off too many people here to be useful.

Megan is very interested in helping cats, in fact she lives to help cats. But she *HATES* me and though she might contribute to someone else, would not send it to my account. There are a few others I could name also, but I'd better not - I don't want to start another flame war!! We would need someone who is, if not liked, then at least not despised! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > > > I have a PayPal account, but too many people here hate me and wouldn't > > > contribute because of that.

But I think a lot of people are going to be spooked about contributing to anyone's personal paypal account. I stopped contributing to group funds after the woman on rpca (not recently) spent all the money in the account that everyone had contributed then disappeared from the group. And I liked her very much, still do. JMO, but if we could open a new account for Conan, and someone keep records and provide the contributors with inflow/outflow it would quash any suspicion that the appointed guardian would be anything less than fiscally responsible. Could you manage something like that? Do you think it *could* be done that way? I have a Paypal account, but am not that famiiar with the dynamics of the process. But, like someone else said, a fund may not be necessary. However, if it is, again, I would be willing to contribute something, either through Paypal or directly.

In the sense that I don't think she'd take the fund and make her house payment with the money then disappear off the group. All of my other alleged bullshit aside, I think she'd do the right thing by Conan. It would be like stealing from Conan and I don't think CN would do that.

You simply execute a "funds transfer" to the email address of the PayPal recipient which is then credited to the bank account of that PayPal member.

Do you think it *could* be done >that way? I think that would be the best way. I'm not sure if it is possible though. You have to use a valid email address and attach it to a bank account. Even somebody setting up a separate account would have to have a separate account to link it to. I don't think it will let you link two different paypal accounts to the same checking account. Also, once the money has been collected, it would have to be sent. And that would mean waiting several days for it to be transferred to a personal bank account, or sending it via paypal to the vet or shelter (in which case, we might as well send it directly to them anyway). Hopefully, we won't need to do it, but if we do, it would be easier to just use an existing account. No setup involved, and a person with a paypal debit/credit card would be able to call the vet or shelter on the phone and pay like a credit card instantly. I don't mind doing it if it comes to that, but I think it would be best to put it to a vote. I trust most of the people here, even most of those who I have disagreed with.

The nicest way to do all this is to just pay whoever (vet, air freight) directly, missing out Paypal entirely. I.e., each person rings the vet and gets 'em to debit $x from their account. Bit of a palaver for the vet though, so perhaps they wouldn't do it. Paypal is semi-anonymous at least - just need a valid email addy to do a funds transfer, there's no release of bank a/c details between tranferer / tranferee. I don't think you actually need to attach a Paypal a/c to a real bank a/c? Then again, I'm not sure what the restrictions are on such non-verified a/cs. (Can you transfer funds from a non-verifed to a verified a/c?) > Hopefully, we won't need to do it, but if we do, it would be easier to > just use an existing account. No setup involved, and a person with a > paypal debit/credit card would be able to call the vet or shelter on > the phone and pay like a credit card instantly. I suppose a Paypal debit card isn't needed because the a/c manager could just use their own card and then transfer the funds from Paypal to their own bank a/c. > I don't mind doing it if it comes to that, but I think it would be > best to put it to a vote.

It takes a few days for Paypal to set up an account, verify the checking or savings account at your bank, link an email account to the bank account, which you have to respond to with the amount test credited to the account. > > I don't think you actually need to attach a Paypal a/c to a real bank > > a/c? Then again, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > account, which you have to respond to with the amount test credited to the > account. I may be getting confused with verification vs. the need to present bank a/c details initially. I was recalling that it was the verification process that involved submitting bank a/c details, but it sounds like I must've provided said details when I initially created a Paypal a/c and the verification was - well - verification...

My Paypal accounts each required a branch bank account to be in existance first. Linking a credit card was secondary.

Su Lin was older by 2 1/2 yrs than Thai Lan, but both were from the same parents. Both died at age 19, Thai passing in '91, I think. Thai had that old school guttural, raspy "rrrrahherrr" with many inflections. This kitten is well on his way to marching Thai. Really surprising for an 8 month old brown tabby. Kitten has two brown racing stripes on his back with brownish ears.

Do explain then where the feedback rating is with paypal. It has a number of verified buyers and shows how long you have been a member. And there is no rating, let alone feedback. That is strictly an ebay thing. I just checked mine and posted the results. This is exactly what it says about the seller, and below, it explains the categories.

I have accepted payments from many unverified people, and I only had one problem, and that was because the person had a Canadian address. He was impatient and complained after only 3 days (not enough time to ship something across the border). And because it was a foreign address, paypal refunded the money without even asking me for proof of shipping. I had the receipt from the customs declaration and later an email aying he received it okay. And I never got my money back. So, I won't ship to other countries anymore.I think their policy is lousy on that topic. But no problem with unverified accounts. I just get a receipt at the post office and get delivery conformation. If there's ever a problem, I have proof.

You still have to attach it to at least a bank account or credit card. I think you need both. I think I had to list one as a backup. Technically, you get away with one account.

It should not be a subject of discussion or speculation or an opportunity to take a pot-shot at anyone.

Megan deserves the same amount of respect she gives others. Her "help" is not needed--or wanted-- in this case. If Conan is not adopted over the next few days, enough people here have offered to help with either funds or legwork, we can get him out of that shelter and into a home. And if nobody had offered, I would do it alone, with my own resources.

But when I didn't react to Mary's posts with invective (like a certain "clique" here does), first I was "warned" not to be friends with Mary, then I got nasty comments about "your new best friend", and then, when I told everyone that I wasn't going to be mean to Mary just because everyone else was, I was suddenly persona non grata and everyone started "loathing" me. I challenge anyone here to find a single post where I started being nasty to someone before they were nasty to me in *MANY* posts before that for *NO OTHER REASON* than that I was nice to Mary And the degree of invective... I called someone "stupid" after she called me a "half-rotted dildo". So when Cheryl says I only post here so I can drop the "F" bomb? I've used that maybe 4 or 5 times in all the time I've been posting here, and only after being *extremely* provoked. Now, there's the truth, anyone can google to see that it is the truth, but let's sit back and watch all the lies that will be spread trying to counter it.] Hugs, CatNipped > But Mary, of course there is a reason for Cheryl to loathe me - > I committed the crime of (GASP) not jumping onto the bandwagon > and bashing you! See, Mary, it's all *your* fault! ;> Loathe may be a strong word. I save that for people I've actually met, though from your posts, I feel like I know you. Strong dislike. There. It has nothing to do with Mary. I like some of the people who seem to like her. See, that's not it. I even like Mary more than I like you. Here's what it is: In your posts you make yourself out to be self-important. Examples: Your thread of the tour of your house. Your constant reminder that you're a member of MENSA. Your assurance that everyone knows all of your accomplishments. Many others I can't remember right now. Several of us laugh at you in email. Example: The thread of the 57 picture tour of your house. You're better than us, aren't you. Example: The pant suit you recently bought and you whined about not finding size 5 clothes. That jacket didn't fit you. You probably need a size 8. The pants didn't fit your body right. I suppose that could be from losing 150 pounds so quickly when you had your gut sutured shut. See? I know more about you than I want to know. You post for affirmation, yet you just look pathetic. Almost every post of yours screams "LOVE ME". I go back and forth between strong dislike and pity. Even your daughter doesn't talk to you. You told us that. The latest reason I dislike you so immensely is because you chased away Lyn. She won't post here anymore for fear of your nasty posts being archived forever about her son. That he'll find them some day. I'm sure you're so proud about that. SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C.

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!!!! DO NOT READ THIS NOTE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH CAT HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR. FOR THOSE PEOPLE - STOP READING NOW, I MEAN IT - STOP!!!

I received *ONE* email from someone who didn't like me posting to the group. There are the equivalent of "armed camps" here on this group and the attacks they make on each other (with *NO* mention of cats in the posts) are more disruptive than any thousands of heated arguments ABOUT CATS' HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR. I've seen threads that were hundreds of posts long about changing an email address or reporting someone to an ISP(1). The posts consisted mostly of profanity and personal attacks. These threads were participated in by the *ONE* person who emailed me who didn't like *ME* posting to the group, and several of the ones chastising me on-list for writing lots of posts about whether *CATS* are safe outdoors. WTF??? (1) People - there are slime-bags out there posting KIDDIE PORN on the internet! If you want to spend your time getting someone kicked off of their ISP, go after *THEM* and not someone who happens to disagree with you! Do you *REALLY* think an ISP is going to get rid of a *PAYING* customer (or even a freebie who they can foist their advertising on) because they called somebody a f.ck-head!???! > *SHE* was the one who got pissed off at what happened here and > took it over there - and didn't even have the courage enough to > address me, but took her pettiness out on anyone who responded > to me there.

Neither word is accurate. Besides - the only reason I know how many pictures there were is because it was part of our humorous email laughing at you. I honestly can't remember who counted them. The fact remains that you posted a pictorial of your living quarters just so that people would validate you as being such a great person, or that you have so much, I don't know what really.

That's not what you implied with your slander - go back and read what you wrote.

Whoa--I have not been reading the Ignorant Bitch Cheryl's posts, but stumbled upon this one. I have been reading just about every post in this group for a very long time, and nobody had ever said anything bad about Lyn's son. It's a lie. So Cheryl can post proof or be recognized as the liar she is. What I think must have happened is that Lynnie the Vicious Netcopping Censorious Control Freak finally understood that HER vicious posts are being archived forever and that Jonathan will one day read them. I would worry about that too. > > > The latest reason I dislike you so immensely is because you chased > > > away Lyn. She won't post here anymore for fear of your nasty posts [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Jonathan will one day read them. I would worry about that > too. It just kills me that these a.ses keep accusing others of the things *they* do. I've never once posted a personal attack like the one Cheryl just posted above or the ones Lyn posted about me. Yet I'm the one they accuse of being mean-spirited. It seems like the mean-spirited see only that in others and can't comprehend being any different. Just like Phillip can't recognize compassion, honesty or honor in others here and keeps looking for other motives for the people who want to help the cat that he exchanged like a poorly-fitting pair of shoes. He doesn't have those qualities, so he can't believe that others can have them. People always seem to ascribe to others what they are thinking or feeling themselves. It's like my mother said, the only one who checks behind the bedroom door is the one who has hidden there before! > > > > The latest reason I dislike you so immensely is because you chased > > > > away Lyn. She won't post here anymore for fear of your nasty posts [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > themselves. It's like my mother said, the only one who checks behind the > bedroom door is the one who has hidden there before! The facts are simple. Lynnie (gentleboa@peacemail.com, and usenetlyn@yahoo.com decided that she did not like my posts. In fact, she did not like them so much that she began a campaign to silence me that included lying to Bellsouth about my sending her a Trojan, and conducting an online smear campaign to get others to do so. Megan participated, as she does not like my posts either. My crime? Posting "filth," (I guess she means my bad language, though "half-rotted dildo" (copyright Lynnie, 2005) was not in there, and being something she called "abusive." What that meant was that when asswipes likd Carl announce that they have been cruel or are being cruel to cats, (in his case it was that he had just had three beautiful kittens declawed though he knew full and well it was mutilation, that he did it to save his "newly upholstered walls," and that he didn't want any sh.t about it, I get angry and use language effectively to express my anger. :) After throwing every thing and anything at me, Lynnie found herself dodging some sh.t in the form of personal information she has posted for all to see in several Usenet groups. This is when she accelerated efforts to get me to stop posting, and to get you to stop posting because you had refused to jump on the bandwagon. So suddenly we find Lynnie losing control and posting the very filth that she accused me of posting. Lynnie wished aloud that my house would burn down with my cats in it. Megan (zuzu22@webtv.net) invited me to slash my wrists in a warm bath (hee!) and general hysteria reigned as I refused to budge. The lesson is, never give in to bullies. Never allow censors to succeed. NEVER listen to what tedious people say or interfere with what charming people do--(Oscar Wilde)-- and last but not least: IF YOU CAN DISH IT OUT BUT YOU CANNOT TAKE IT, HAND IN YOUR f.cking SPOON. :) t least: > IF YOU CAN DISH IT OUT BUT YOU CANNOT > TAKE IT, HAND IN YOUR f.cking SPOON. > > :) Well, certainly not in defense, but in explanation... People with no self-esteem and no feelings of self-worth *care* about what anonymous strangers on UseNet think about them.
