ET AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN BREATHE EASIER NOW - THE CHARITY IDEA IS SCRAPPED!!! In ET's blog, she failed to mention that I said NOTHING would be given directly to me. The charity we would have chosen as a group, would have gotten all the funds directly from each member that was giving a . I was hoping to set up an SFF Fund type of thing and have it arranged that each person would call/write and be told how to contribute to that fund. I know that some people can't afford to give anything and that's fine. This was meant for those who have a spare $10 or so in their pockets. This site has had a ton of fighting and I wanted to be proud to be an SFF member. I thought if we did something to help others, we could feel proud to be part of something good. I realize that people give to charities on their own. I do too. It was something to make it special to be a part of SFF. Clearly it was a bad idea and I take full responsibility for it. It was never something that should have been seen as suspicious, given I was never getting the money directly. Elaine Shuel |

I tried to do something positive but it didn't work out, Lucas. Thanks for your sweet comment. Elaine Shuel

Thanks for your kindness, Dianne. I put up this post so everyone will know that the charity idea is now off the table. I thought it was a good idea. I wasn't treated this way, when I set something up quite a few years ago, at another group. Those who didn't want to donate just didn't. Nobody got upset with me for suggesting it or setting it up. I've learned my lesson about bringing up such a thing at SFF. It won't happen again. Have a nice weekend. Elaine Shuel

I tip my cowgirl hat to you Elaine!! You're a good person with a giving heart, and that counts a lot in my book. It's a shame people have gotten so leery of others, sad actually, it's what bad people have done to us in our society and it leaves a burn for those who have had that happen to them, or someone close to them.

ET is a troublemaker -- pure and simple -- your heart was in the right place and your motives were also pure -- have a wonderful Weekend Elaine Shuel

I agree, Pat. I just wanted to make sure that everyone saw that the idea went bust. I have no plan to post further on this topic, unless someone starts things up again. Thanks for your comment. Elaine Shuel

You're a real sweetheart, Elaine. SFF could use more nice folks such as you. I'm pleased to have you as a friend, and I hope sometime we can exchange emails.

Yes, Elaine, I joined FB a few weeks ago, and I believe this past week I found your listing there and requested your friendship. I'll resend the request next time I visit there. (Hint: On my profile page, I'm pictured with my husband. We live in Indiana.)
