Quasimado Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Jim, Funds forwarded through Japanese postal system on 3/17. Received? Unfortunately Japan does not allow sending funds to non-business accounts via PayPal - which means heavy fees. Q. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Ptah Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I mailed a check to Jim in early 2017 in the U.S. Mail. It is not reflected in the total shown on the board, and I am not listed as a donor for 2017. So it is at least possible that the amount received is greater than what is shown on this board.

mjzee Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Agreed. Â I was thinking of placing an order with CDJapan, but put that money to better use here. Â (Besides, I already own the Dodo Greene!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thank you everyone. It was a stressful last two weeks. Long story short, my dear departed father had a serious hang-up when it came to doctors and dentists and as such I never went to the dentist until I was 28 years old. I had a root canal done, which wasn't so bad considering I'd never been in my life. My teeth were pretty good. But then the dentist decided he wouldn't take our insurance anymore and never put a crown on it. Then we lost our insurance before I found another dentist. That was over 12 years ago. The tooth now needs to come out; it's half gone anyway. Pieces have been breaking off for years. It's going to be $600 to pull it. On Wednesday they treated me for gum disease, which thankfully isn't too advanced but that was $1800 out of pocket. We have insurance now through Medicaid but it covers the very bare minimum and my teeth need more than the basics. Once the tooth is pulled I have to decide whether to live with a big hole in my smile or get an implant. The implant will be between $3k and $4k depending on the work they need to do. YAY! So yeah... I've been stressing about the board funds. You guys took a weight off my shoulders. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 My wife Ann recently had an old root canal break, had the roots removed, a bone graft and a pin installed for $4000. In 90 days she gets a crown for another couple grand. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
