Wow, what you're all doing is fabulous!!!

Do you put your affiliate link then in the banner and generate donations from that money too?? ( not sure how that would work )

You're doing a great thing here, both of you ( and casinos too! )
Makes everyone feel good!

Thank you for taking care of the world.

I repeat yet again - if you don't happen to favor the current high bidder, either bid higher yourself or convince your favorite casino to place a higher bid.

I am not interested in listening to this effed-up $#!T when you are not involved in putting your money where your mouth is. I am tired of trying to do something to help and getting told what the hell I should be doing.

Cynics please BUTT THE HELL OUT OF THIS THREAD.

Slotchik - the winner of the bid will determine how the links work - if they want to run it through an affiliate link and donate those proceeds to charity as well, that will be their choice. But personally, I think that's a great idea - and Virtual has already proposed to do so if they win.

Thanks Spear!! you all are angels...seriously!

I won't speak for Casinomeister... LOL... but I'm just human. I have strengths and weaknesses, good and bad, I'm blessed with a family, all healthy and safe, a life which is not as difficult as it once was, lots of friends and family - but no pets LOL.

The one thing I am not blessed with is patience

I can be very critical of people, yet sometimes not have the ability to take criticism from others. I have a sharp tongue sometimes, yet I cannot accept sharp words which I think have no place in whatever it is I am discussing.

I am trying to do the best I can - yet I know I can never please everyone. So those of you who disagree with me, accept my apologies for not being good enough to meet your standards.

I am only human. But I do everything I can to the best of my ability.

The real angels are those who are out in the field recovering bodies, comforting survivors and those who have lost relatives, giving everything they have, no matter how little it is, even when they have lost relatives themselves. I could post many links to these angels, as well as to stories about the heartbreak of many, many people - but that is not what this is about.

This is about doing what I personally can to help - and in this regard I'm sure Casinomeister feels the same way.

yes, I know Spear.....I wish I could be out there helping them.....i'd probably end up crying the whole time!!

You have to know what wonderful human beings you both are. Because you're willing to accept any casino that will give the money and look beyond everything else, shows that you are genuinely the best of the best. I want to call CNN or someone so that they know about you two. Generosity like this doesn't come around often. You are sending money to another country...to people you don't even know......and it just amazes me...the outpouring of love. You have no idea what you're doing for these people and their families.
Well, maybe you do....but I'm just simply inspired by this ......

Talk about a load of SHIT... boy tries to raise money for medical expenses...

EBay closed the original auction Wednesday, citing numerous rules violations. Spokesman Hani Durzy said auctioneers are not allowed to advertise that money for their items will go toward a cause. The family amended the ad and had a new version up and running the same day.

EBay didn't say anything about our attempt - they simply suspended Casinomeister's account. AND kept the fees to boot.

Since when is giving something for a good cause BAD? And what the hell is their Missionfish charitable setup all about?

What a bunch of jokers. I never really used eBay anyhow, but I am really starting to wish they would rot in hell.

OMG!! and eBay lets an idiot sell their grilled cheese sandwich for their own personal use!!! BASTARDS!!!!

I gave up a lucrative sideline buying/selling on ebay after their Customer Service let me down several times too often - it was just too much hassle working with them and too galling to be lining their pockets at the same time. They've not got a clue.
