Does anyone have change for a nickel? |

 | | WannaBe: <TheFocus> Go ask L Penny |
|
Jul-16-13 | | JoergWalter: <WannaBe: <TheFocus> Go ask L Penny> You guys are terrible. Deep pockets and short arms. |
|
Jul-16-13 | | Karpova: Another way of fundraising: http://www.chessbase.com/Home/TabId... |
|
Jul-17-13 | | JoergWalter: <Karpova> what a cute girl and pleasure to the eyes. Give her 5 more years... |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: Great story. As for her looks, she's awful young to be going for the glamor shot look so much. |
|
Jul-22-13 | | JoergWalter: Update:
<38 days left; one way of looking at it is that each day brings me closer to success! I won't stop studying, I won't stop preparing. I would love to do some other fun things too, like renewing my passport and booking flights! But that part depends on you, my friends. Remember, no one is charged unless the full amount is raised.
Thank you!>
Friends, romans, countrymen ... come on
we running out of precious time...

Jul-22-13 | | parmetd: I am thinking of giving a penny but not sure how he will get me change for my donation. |

Aug-14-13 | | JoergWalter: update:
<$140 pledged of $12,810 goal Only 13 days left...> Is there another senior world championship in 2020? |
|
Aug-14-13
 | | perfidious: <Joerg>: There's an old New England saying which covers the odds of that happening: <You can wish in one hand, s**t in the other and see which fills first.> |
|
Aug-14-13 | | JoergWalter: : <perfidious>he can fill for a while if his hands are as big as his expectations |
|
Aug-27-13
 | | FSR: He's still at $140 with twelve hours left. I'm thinking he may not reach his goal of $12,810. |
|
Aug-27-13
 | | perfidious: Looks like the odds are agin it...... |
|
Aug-27-13
 | | FSR: Nope, he didn't make it. http://www.gofundme.com/3faxy8 I can't believe that no one jumped on the opportunity to get a signed copy of his novel <Amanda> for only $12,000. No doubt you could turn around and sell that puppy on eBay for $5 if you offered free shipping. Well, OK, probably not. |
|
Aug-27-13
 | | perfidious: Dayum, Ah don't bleeve Taylor din't make it all the way! |
|
Aug-28-13 | | TheFocus: The flag is at half-mast today. |

 | | OhioChessFan: <Here's a list of famous GMs--what do they have in common?> They don't mooch $20 off their daughters? |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: I am reminded of a comment by the <Hideous Hog>, one of Victor Mollo's immortal group of fictional bridge players: "Try to get an unsigned copy. Much rarer." |
|
Sep-15-13 | | JoergWalter: He may try this approach next year:

Nov-05-13 | | Lutwidge: Does anyone know what the deal is with this: http://www.gofundme.com/4vjs5w ? I don't know really anything about IM Taylor, but his appeal seems genuine (in this case, at any rate) and urgent. That said, he apparently tried to post the above on chess.com and his blogs were removed. Anyhow, further information/details about this would be appreciated, as I would like to help (his wife's situation sounds absolutely dire) but am also loath to be caught in or, worse yet, propagate some sort of elaborate scam. FWIW, a friend of mine called the oral surgeon (whose services they are trying to afford) and affirmed that his wife is indeed a patient there. |
