IVE MADE IT PERMANENT.. yup... thats right... some jealous bitter asshole on another site questioned my motives and integrity so to demonstrate that he dont have the intestinal fortitude to step up to the porch like the big dogs Im making the drive ... 25 donation... 20 to Patriot Packs and 5 to pnet... and after Paypal is done with me it will be like 3 bucks for pnet.

Sorry guys.. tired of playing nice guy all the time and Im really tired of always getting crap for nothing. I was supporting this site out of my pocket ALONE until 2 years ago so Id think Id get some credit for 8 years of taking care of things.

Well.. I'll go take this rant into the PRIVATE sections.

SO.. Everyone here.. you donate and you can be secure in the knowledge that you're helping out Patriot Packs and paying a days toll's for me to go to work so I can keep this place running.

Ok, I want to address the allegation that I am attempting to GUILT anyone into donating for PNET by USING the deployed troops.

1. I had been preparing to do a membership drive when I talked to Amy Petri and Tom and heard all about Patriot Packs, I felt it was a great deal and decided that I might be able to offer some funds to Patriot Packs WHILE I looked for supporters.

2. Plenty of places people patronize every day donate a portion of funds raised to a cause, I dont know why this is any different.

3. Amy Petri can be contacted at Patriot Packs and you can check that I am indeed intent on this AND later you can CONFIRM documentation and payment that the donations have been made.

4. I spoke to Amy Petri yesterday and she mentioned that they have seen a rise in hits to the website and they have seen more sales of the bracelets etc (a portion of which pays for the packages). A link DIRECTLY to Patriot Packs has been on my notices since the very moment it was up. The statement at the top of each page links to THIS thread and HERE I again mention Patriot Packs and the website (In fact I had the wrong one until Amy got me the right info).

5. NOBODY at any time said that troops couldnt donate directly to Patriot Packs... and to help EVEN FURTHER. If you make a donation DIRECTLY to Patriot Packs and let me know... I'll mark you as a Pnet Patriot here.

Its unfortunate that there may have been some confusion coupled with unfair and essentially wrong assumptions in regards to this program.

If Im wrong and the reason few donated at first is because of such allegations then I guess you have NO reason not to donate now... so Im STILL looking for deployed Pnet members addresses (PM/Email etc to me) and we'll get you hooked up with Patriot Packs.

If ANYONE feels that I would attempt to profit off of a genuine desire to help our deployed brothers and sisters than I sincerely apologize since that has not and will never be the case. This site isnt hosted on some $10/mo knock off host and as some of you know, despite what Al reported (heheh), Pnet is run out of 1/2 a 10x10 room and besides a few donations, survives on side work or money from my own pocket.

Hello everyone!!  I haven't been around much but I'm still thinking of everybody!  I am going to try something a little different.  A couple of years ago I was selling custom collector Barbie dolls on Ebay, I donated the profits to purchasing and sending care packages to Iraq... I have been incontact with Amy and I am offering my services up on a private auction to have a custom doll created to the winning bidders specifications.  It is all laid out on my site...So if you know of anyone who collects Barbies... Send them my way... Here is a link to the page on my website...If anyone has any suggestions or comments, Please let me know!!!
