In the famous words of the often misunderstood brittney spears - "oops, I did it again"
did I miss a list of saws on this round?

I think its a 562 husky, 55 husky, hot rod partner from Randy, and a 490 Jred. Maybe.

nothing electric start with a recliner seat (cup holders)?
If I win, (I'm tryin' as fast as I can), I will refuse to accept those lovely items (some of you know I have (2) decent trees on my suburban lot and (8) saws), as before I'll forward all (4) saws to Mitch).
On a serious note,
When's the last time any of us spent time in the hospital employed but uninsured? (I re-read the beginning of this thread)
My guess is it's well over $1,000/day (not ICU), so if a person was unfortunate enough to end up there for a month, $30,000
I'm sure we've all lived/heard of the horror stories of collections, (me, 9yrs of a $150 dispute w/radiologists (I had no x-rays done))
Whatever is donated is greatly appreciated (ever NOT have money for gas/food?) and doesn't get spent lightly.
I doubt many of us are "filthy rich", but IMO wealth comes from the heart, not the bank account (my words)
I don't have much in dollars being retired, but my experiences with giving a hand up to someone who needs it makes me
"wealthier" than many.
OK, I'm done venting, I feel much "richer" now & I AM putting my money were my big mouth is.

Thanx, Randy, I appreciate that.
If I knew what the heck reps were for & how to pass them out, I'd dump everything I've got on you & the others going way beyond in this matter.
But alas, all I've got is good intensions and a couple of bucks every month.
As fate would have it, I retired (3) yrs ago, a month later, my gravy train, (15 yrs younger wife) got laid off.
She's going to college for a "crazy DR." degree and my mad money is partially financing same.
Two weeks ago, my previous employer gave me an offer of temporary employment that only an idiot would refuse- (I'm not an idiot)
So my cad money is GREATLY enhanced.
I'm honored to help out.
luck,greg

You are WAY low on that estimate, 4 days for a hip replacement in the hospital was north of $70K, and that's not counting the sawbones salary.

I'm just here to rally the troops.
Jim, I gave you some for saying so brother. :msp_wink:

I don't want to vent, I don't want vent, I don't want to vent.
IIRC, last time I bought a CASE of beer, it was $5 or $6, easily consumed on any given saturday, (work days/nites were usually a 12pack or less) - That had nothing to do with stopping after work.
I imagine most of us can relate.
If a tornado went thru our town, 80% of us would gladly spend at least a day helping strangers get back on track.
Let's see,
Gas - $20 gone
Food - $20 gone
no time for spending $$ on stuff 'cuz we're bored +$50?
so if we all kick in the $10 we're ahead - no headache, no pissed off dependants, our joints won't need WD40, you'll be to work on time the next day feelin' good about yourself and won't be avoiding reading this thread.
I think I'm going to bust out laughing, now

:hmm3grin2orange:For me, Back in the day really means something, payphones with rotary dial, pagers with no display, party line phones, I still have a circular slide rule - not like when my daughter says "back in the day" meaning the '70's, LOL
oops,bump

Computer generated drawing.....???
No, I'm going all out on this one. I'll be bringing a garbage bag filled with cards of AS names on them to the Wiggz Bash. Each 'ticket' gets 1 name on it. Want your name in there more than once....?? Buy anotha ticket!
Should be fun! Dunno who will draw the names though - we'll worry about those details later. Could maybe have Jer's kids pull the names or something......
