Annual Fund Drive OVER!

| April 20, 2026 | 34 Comments


Thanks!

Thank you all for the outpouring of support. I’m humbled once again by y’all’s generosity, especially with money so tight these days. I actually saw the ghost of a smile on our bean counter’s face, a very rare occurrence. The totals are not all in yet, but the largess donated should keep the place afloat for another year. Thanks once again, and I’ll gratefully put the tin cup away. Until next time…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You knew it was coming. We held off as long as we could. But…

It’s time to shamelessly rattle the cup once again. The coffers are dry and our bean counter is searching the sofa for loose change.

The best things in life are free, but sadly it takes  cash money to pay the bills. Hosting the domain, Professional Licensing, Insurance, Attorney Fees, Internet, Phones, Continuing Education requirements, tax prep, PI software renewals, and a host of other cats and dogs all go into making this happen.

What we do not collect in donations to the cause, several of us pay out of pocket. Its always been that way. Please help us to provide the content you’ve come to enjoy, and at the same time keep the Stolen Valor fires burning at Military Phony. Without support the sites go away.

Y’all know me and I’d never ask any to do what I wouldn’t, so please join me in tickling the Donate option of your choice top right on the home page. You have our absolutely deepest appreciation for your generous donation, and have our assurance not a dime is wasted.

The snail-mail address will be provided individually, per request.

Many thanks,
AW1Ed

When I get to work and fire up the wheezy work desktop Win10 (with a time lag of minutes)

Toxic Deplorable B Woodman

Done. I think. I’ll have to check later to see if the donation “caught”.

jhstoney673

on the way, keep up the great work!

Cummins

I sent mine.

jeff LPH 3 63-66

I’ll be sending in my regular monthly donation this or next week.

Old tanker

Done, hope it helps out.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Sent a little money your way, hope it helps.

PITBULL

Pls send snail mail address.

26Limabeans

Done.
That was easier than shopping at Walmart with self checkout.
Keep up the good work.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Agreed, also Walmart will not give me the cashier discount if I check out my own stuff…seems a bit unreasonable to me.

If the idea of self-checkout is to save labor costs but there’s no discount when I self-checkout what’s the benefit to me besides getting out of there quicker than waiting for a human cashier? (Getting out of there quicker is indeed no small thing)….

26Limabeans

TAH should offer a Veterans discount. “sarc”.

jeff LPH 3 63-66

I send in once a month and I keep getting paypal scams.

26Limabeans

I’ve never understood the thinking behind such a
brand name. When it comes to money, everyone
wants to be your “pal”. Especially on “pay” day.

ChipNASA

Let me get to this weekend payday and do some accounting. 😉
I’ll hit you guys up shortly.
Chimp.
Edit….(Fuck it…I checked….I paid all the bills the other day. I’m all in…..hell it’s only money…) ( ˶˘ ³˘)♡

OH OH OH !! Maybe I can open up a daycare or Hospice and get you some quick pallets of cash so you’d never have to ask again.
(Someone had to say it. )
…….
……
……
…..

Wait just a cottonpicken minute…..I mean Technically we ARE old farts and mental midget children so, does not TAH and VG rate as a Daycare AND a Hospice?? (°〇°)

Where do we file for federal funds?!?!?!?

Jes’ spitballin is all.

Chip – Live and Lear. (You know what we’re doing.)

Sparks

Thanks for all you folks do.

Charles

If it is paid by debit card, is it still “a Benjamin?”
Maybe it should be called an “Edison” because it travels through wires, like a light bulb.
But then Benjamin Franklin also flew a kite and showed that electricity was lighting, or lighting was electricity.

RGR 4-78

E payment wouldn’t be a Benjamin, it wouldn’t be an Edison, it would be a Gore as in Al Gore the inventor of the internet. 😉

Hack Stone

Hack Stone will make a donation in the memory of Elaine Ricci.

sbalm

She’s not dead until she’s forgotten.

Hack Stone

Hack Stone tried to donate $100 of outdated Red Hat Software, but the Admins said they can’t accept delivery 10,000 discs. They’ll have to be satisfied with $100 in US currency.

BennSue

Try using Turkish Lira.

Toxic Deplorable B Woodman

Eye-talian Lira……oh, wait…….that doesn’t exist any more.

Fully Semi-Automatic

Done and done.

Appreciate the work.

RGR 4-78

Thanks again for all y’all do.

Dropped my normal plus $20.00 extra.
$10.00 in memory of Ex PH-2
$10.00 in memory of KOB

jeff LPH 3 63-66

I made a batch of Ex-PH-2’s thursdays are for cooking Sausage/ Penne a couple of weeks ago. She was a Photagraphers Mate E-5 and that rate she held doesn’t exist anymore after all these years. I usually give a monthly donation of $25.00 once a month for each month. almost every week, I get mail from the DAV, VFW, AMLEG, NRA plus other places that want donations ..

BennSue

I could only give so many beans, but happy to contribute.

Hack Stone

Governor Gavin Newsom is offering contributors to this fund drive a copy of his book, “Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery.”

Eggs

Late but done.

Hack Stone

You could raise a lot more money. Y sending a few grand to the KKK to stage a protest in Virginia, then appeal to the public for money to help fight the KKK. Just saying…

jeff LPH 3 63-66

Send the donation to the Southern Poverty Law Center and they will send it to the KKK…

Hack Stone

Who had the Southern Poverty Law Center funding White Supremacists on their bingo card?

Hack Stone

Who is the bigger chump, the Woke Left Liberals who donated to Eric Swalwell’s run for California Governor so he can defend women from the toxic masculinity of conservatives or the Woke Left Liberals who donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center to help eradicate White Supremacists?
