Mike / Vacerator, Personal contact invitations and non-appliance photo sharing are to be in the green "As the Tub Turns" section ... to which you don't have access without a paid membership upgrade. Imperial is for WASH-IN invitations and photos. You clearly state above that you have no appliance photos to share. "It'd alaso be nice to see other A.W.dot org members holiday pics, etc" -- There are already such discussion threads in the green section, where they should be ... you just can't see them.

>A hundred pennies still make a buck. Incrimental margins add up.
Numbers do add up. At an appalling speed, sometimes. I know some people here say it's "only a few dollars a year"--but enough "just a few dollars a year" expenditures can add up... Particularly for someone like me, who is severely low income. Although for site harmony it's possibly good thing that I'm no longer an upgraded member. Some of my views unfortunately were not aligned with the Dirty Laundry echo chamber, and I sometimes wonder how many people on this site blocked me during the time I was most recently an upgraded member. |

>For comparison, a desktop computer w/LCD run 4hrs costs 15¢. That's $1.15/day counting internet access. IOW, if one can afford a computer.....
Yes. Although the cost for access might also run $0, using a laptop, free wi-fi, and power in some public place. Or one might use a library terminal, which is free, and adds a benefit of "no computer investment". That said, I'm paying for service where I live--but I'm using it for a lot more than just this site. I use Internet every day, but I don't necessarily do anything past quickly skimming a thread or two of interest here some days. And, at the same time, if I pull the plug on Internet--something I regularly consider to help save a few dollars--my Internet access would likely drop to only a few days a week from, say, the library, which would mean I'd visit here less. Not that I'd be missed. |

FWIW, I lost my career, house and retirement to globalization (crapufacturing) in 2001. If my SS were $100/year less I would qualify for medicaid in TX, one of the stingiest states. A tier or two below "low income"; forgot the exact word they used.
My income is equivalent to a $5/hr job. I haven't filed taxes since 2004 and IRS doesn't care cuz I'm not worth pursuing. The only thing I've 'bought' was a TV in 2015 when both mine and my brother's loaner quit. I've pinched every penny so hard it's the size of a nickel. Even so, I still have 3 of them to rub together.
Of course, no two situations are directly comparable. |

“DaveMAkro” from Oak Park, mentioned: That must be me!
Need the advantage of finding lost threads within AW.org, not being directed in a general and futile search to/at Google... “Did I say “THAT”????!!!!”—well, something inappropriate garnering a negative response, or SOON WILL, means that I have SIX-HOURS to take it down, or at least clean it up if I don’t want to owe any apologies here, lose any friends here, or simply see things ignored, and just feel sheepish about keeping stuff too revealing or embarrassing to express (and even often in an avenue like Dirty Laundry)... Yes, Off-Topic (Webmaster: are you using THAT TERM in your description of the Green Forum? May I kindly suggest, besides what contents you have listed, that given what gets put there, non-appliance-related that you would please do?!) stuff, much of it of that nature, outside of what is listed, draws me in to making upgrading, as is what R- and X- rated stuff that I like to share and/or join in at DL... Budget-wise, a lot of debt and financial burden, I’m taking on—yes, I want however many of the over-eighty versions of “Snowbird” (made famous by Anne Murray) there are out there, and how could I forget Chet Atkins made an instrumental of? So another trip back to East Pointe to the record store, there, for another copy of THEN AND NOW, the best place that it’s on, which I’d once had... Funding for my mission of my musical research, please send to: _______ But, it’s worth my occasion upgrade, here! — Dave |

I was going to mention that an upgrade can be paid/gifted for another site user but I checked and seems that's no longer possible? The upgrade function advises to select a different username from the pick-list but the only choice is myself.
I finally found time this week to fix that bug, should be working as expected now. Thanks again for pointing that out to me Glenn. |
