+1 We have a few guys who like to pound their chest and tell everybody who they phucked and how little they paid or that they didn't pay at all. I would much rather hear from Greengo....IMHO.

Only 7 days before Super Bowl Sunday.

Only 7 days before your Pay check, before your Pension check and Social Security check.

Only 7 days left to get your checks in to Orange :!: :!: :!:

There's a cool feature on this forum where you can ignore idiots like Greengo. It's called "Friends and Foes"in the User Control Panel in the upper right hand side of the forum. Add him as a foe and you will never see his ridiculous posts again.


DONE !

UPDATE

I made contact with all but 1 of the employees tonight (1 person didn't answer). I invited them to Zona II between 11am-2pm. I will be there during that time period to distribute the funds. I hope a few of you who are in town will join me, I'm sure the people will appreciate seeing some faces of the people who helped them.

Lastly, all the people have asked me to pass on a big thank you to everybody for their help in this. A couple got emotional in appreciation.

Also, a thank you to Bashful Dwarf who was collecting money from random gringos he met during his recent trip. :lol:

We have $1718 in the Paypal account after they deducted the fees (a few people opted to add the 3% fee to their donation) and I have another $800 pledged that I will pick up in San Jose on Saturday. Looks like it will be a total of more than $2500 split between 12 employees (the original list of 10 plus 2 more who whose names were sent to me shortly after the original 10 and confirmed by multiple people.) That's a little over $200 per person. There have been a couple other people trying to get on the list, but after some research, I found out that they either worked a long time ago or worked for only a short time. And I did not include them. I knew there would be more people coming out once word spread. I'm actually expecting some other people to show up uninvited. That's why I hope some of you are there with me if that happens. I don't want to face any drama alone. :lol:

THERE IS STILL TIME TO DONATE, UP UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING. THESE PEOPLE HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR APPRECIATION. A FEW HAVE TOLD ME HOW HARD THEY HAVE IT NOW, AND THIS WILL HELP A LOT.

I have been in contact by voice and email with a very credible employee who is on the list, and who knows all of the others on the list, several for years.

These people were hit very hard by the ScoreS closing. They are NOT beggars or scammers.

They deserve our respect and consideration.......... AND whatever amount you can donate.

It appears there haven't been any donations for almost two weeks. Let's keep this topic at, or near, the top of this thread until Sunday. Maybe someone will read it and find a few dollars they can spare. I am of the belief that good deeds will be rewarded. "What goes around, comes around" can also be applied in a positive manner.

As you see it....... :roll: :roll: :roll:

What you call weird commentary others might more correctly term ignorant gobeltigook - what gets me is he does not exist - he is the creation of someone who thinks he's just smarter and more cleaver than everyone - no one has ever met him met him; he never engages with anyone, and frankly never provides info of any real value except to put down Costa Rica.

To be "amused" you have to understand what he is trying to say - and with that jag off, I'm not gonna try too hard - who gives a Phuck! Tell me one helpful post he has made - or one that did not need to be decoded :roll: :roll: :roll:

Have at it praising a sock puppet - to me he is the ultimate jag off!

Scuba1, can you and the others stop hi-jacking this thread? It is about raising funds for the ex-employees of Scores. I wish we could concentrate on that mission for just five more days. Can you please do your part?

John you are laboring under a misconception if you think any - ANY - thread is linear - its not, they are not - all I simply did was respond to a direct question in a post - my right to do so - sorry John, you are not gonna visit the ills of threads getting off track - this or any others - on me - I didn't start it - happens on all message boards; get used to it and deal with it.

Who? Me or John?

I simply answered his not so friendly post - I did nothing wrong - unless responding to posts has become banned? Or threads getting off track........

Reminder

On Sunday, I will be at Zona II from 11am-2pm to give out the donations.

We have a total 1,330,000. That's ¢110,000 per person.

I hope some of you can join me to give them out.
