[Zander]

I'm not a rich guy, but I happen to know that Paladin and Paladinwife are two of the nicest people on the planet, so I have Paypalled (sp?) US$100.

I hope it helps.

Donation made!! As I said in my note, my wife and I are expecting our first in May so four children is a scary prospect indeed! Good luck.

Thanks to everyone, it is really humbling to see this kind of support. If you can't donate we certainly appreciate prayers, they're as good as gold.

I'm a Project Manager (used to be?) in telecom. The technology sector in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area is totally flooded with applicants, for practically every job, due to the massive layoffs the metroplex has incurred. It's definitely an employer's market now, and there's a lot of folks with more experience than me.
Not to mention that PMs are the ones who drive new enterprises for companies and with the current state of the economy, the companies aren't exactly throwing money around as much as they used to two years ago.

MCI WorldCom laid off at least 1,500 from our complex alone, and 5,100 in one day. More came after that. If anyone in the DFW area knows of a PM job opening (not just telecom, PMing isn't narrowed into one field, that's just where my experience is), please contact me at dommer@prodigy.net, I'll be happy to work anywhere in DFW, so distance is not a problem.

I've added this thread to the topic in the chatroom. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy a bag at the moment, as much as I want to

I sent you an email a little while ago, I'm sending $10 by mail (I don't use Paypal). I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts. You guys are good people, and everyone needs a little help now and then. I've always believed that what comes around goes around, so I try to help out when and where I can. I wish you the best of luck.

good luck

sent mine. Sucks when bad stuff happens to good folk. Hopefully all will work itself out soon. I will never forget the stress of being out of work for an extended time, don't forget to breathe. Perhaps the economy is really turning and opportunities will present themselves.

I just put in my order for a Royal Deluxe. Hope it helps. Also, I'm not sure as to the payment protocol, because after I clicked submit to submit the order, no request for credit card info or anything like that came up. I sent you email about it; I'm sure you'll explain it for me. Good luck with everything.

OK, I'm going to sound retarded here, but how do you give money using paypal? I've never used it before, but the Paladins seemed like nice folks at Gen Con, and I would like to buy one of their bags.

If I'm not mistaken, you need to open a free account at Paypal in order to send money.

If you want to buy a bag, you probably should head for their site and order one. I think you can pay via a credit card if you don't have a Paypal account.

Of course, if someone could confirm this I'd be happier.

Just sent some your way! My little sister would love a Dragon Tales bag if they have any left .

Also, a message to anyone falling on hard times financially. Don't forget about McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Chevron stations, and the like. These places may not pay much, it may seem demeaning to some, and feel like menial labor, but it is a job. At the least, it can help to stop the money flowing out as fast from the wallet. Don't neglect these options while searching for other jobs.

My thoughts and prayers are with y'all. Good Luck.
