There is no problem with your system.  I was expecting a direct link to the credit card option..I tend to forget there isn&#039;t such every year. If you ever get a spare moment (heh) you might put in some prompting text, but your core of alert, long time posters is an effective help desk....and it works in a pandemic!  That&#039;s better than my bank!  Better than Amazon!</description>

		<description>ericksor [18] -

The plan is to update the entire site, probably in the spring.  And finally add things like a Facebook or Twitter button, to share the articles.  I know it&#039;s all dated as heck, and I apologize.  My old computer couldn&#039;t handle the development system any more, but I&#039;m getting a new(er) one for Xmas.

Go through PayPal, and it should let you just use a credit card rather than a PayPal account.  Unless they&#039;ve changed that.  I will check it out for you...

		<description>Chuck Yeager has died at 97 yrs of age.  Best known for being the first to break the &quot;sound barrier.&quot;  

Entered service as a private and earned his wings.  Shot down over German territory but managed to evaded capture for several months and returned to England. That disqualified him from flying more combat missions, but he got a waiver and achieved the very rare feat of shooting down five enemy planes in a single day. 

Any one of these feats would quality him for a Wikipedia page.  Retired as General in USAF in 1975 but worked for the AF as a civilian until the late &#039;90s.</description>

Yes! - you have jogged my memory on that.


I have very little reserve memory after dealing with a major holiday ordering lock-up at Amazon.com.  It triggered an identity theft alarm at my bank. You can normally fix that by talking to a robot the phone...but the robot is broken.  Alternatively, you can just go down to the bank and talk with a manager....but the bank won&#039;t let you in the lobby &#039;cause they don&#039;t want to get sick.  You are told to make an appointment over the phone....but they aren&#039;t making any appointments.  You see where this is going...or not going...at least very fast. Finally found the right phone number by calling a number of branches and the main office - problem resolved.</description>

		<description>Dear Chris,

I&#039;ve been a very bad girl. So, I plan to make up for it during this season&#039;s pledge drive. Check you mail box regularly. Heh.

Well, there&#039;s that. And, the kittens are really getting to me this time around. :)</description>
