Shaving my head..

[Digrr]

Seriously...

I will do it!

Swankmommy says she'll donate $50
Danyell $40

And I'll donate it to charity... :)

It's just hair...

[Danyell]

tell me where im sending it!

[SwankMommy]

Yep, just tell me where to mail the cheque. You made my day! :D

[jesube]

If it goes to the Bustin Mamas I'm in for $30..

[SwankMommy]

Bustin Mommas have my 50.00!

[LoveMom]

Can we watch?

[Danyell]

mine is for bustin mamas also

[jesube]

Thanks Erin! What a great thing to do!

[Digrr]

If it goes to the Bustin Mamas I'm in for $30..
I'm still thinking on a charity...

If I make $1000, then half will go to you... does that sound fair? - not trying to dis your fundraising or anything.. this is my hair I'm shaving off after while.
I'd like to donate to make a wish or something child...

I wonder what my husband will think when I tell him when he wakes up... :lol:

[jesube]

160 for the Bustin Mamas Weekend to End Breast Cancer journey!

Come on ladies we can do better than that!

[Digrr]

Can we watch?
sure..

I should tell my neighbour.. he's a videographer for A-channel or whatever they're called now... citytv... lol

[jesube]

Oops wait. I think I got ahead of myself..

You let us know. :D

[Digrr]

A little bit... but that's okay...

How much more do you guys need minimum for fundraising?

[Digrr]

will do!

[Digrr]

I'm gonna start a facebook group.. :)
I'm trying to decide how I'll collect the monies...
I do have paypal, but there's always a fee to transfer it.
I also have credit card taking capabilities...

or you can always just mail me a cheque...
Don't worry Bustin Mama's... I'm true to my word... $1000+ half will go to you guys... so I'll definitely help you out.

[Digrr]

Facebook group is made... I'm inviting everyone... lol

Invite whomever you want... so we can get lots of donations.

[tcpaquin]

You are Crazy!!! :grin: Good for you!

[Digrr]

You are Crazy!!! :grin: Good for you!
I know!

So the facebook group is made... there was an error in the first set of invites... so I don't know who wasn't invited... anyone with the first name between A-R is a possibility... just invite yourself in! :)

[Digrr]

I've decided to accept payment through paypal: emayer@parrotplaypen.com

If you wish to donate another way, then let me know.

[SwankMommy]

I really wanted to just donate to Bustin Mommas. :dunno:

[Digrr]

Well... if we reach $1000+ I will ... It's not that I'm unwilling to donate.

If it was your hair you were shaving off, wouldn't you want a choice? Irregardless of who your friends are. I thought Kid's Help Phone was a great charity as well.

[SwankMommy]

Oh, I totally understand, but my understanding was it was going to Bustin Mommas. It all changed to a Facebook thingy etc.

[SwankMommy]

Not that your charity is bad or not desirable, I just only donate to Cancer, That's my thing. If I am spending 50.00 I want it to be for the charity I want.

[SueP]

So I am confused (and really not trying to cause trouble). What do you mean by 1000+??? If you don't get a 1000 you are not going to do it? Which is fine, but I am just confused that's all.

[SwankMommy]

:dito:

[Digrr]

:dito:
Ya, well my goal is $1000. Likely what will happen is I'll still give 1/2 to each charity... I know I thought about that just now... what if... hmm.

But I'm hoping for $1000.

[Digrr]

Oh, I totally understand, but my understanding was it was going to Bustin Mommas. It all changed to a Facebook thingy etc.
It's not totally a face book thing. If you read all of this thread you'll read where I first made exception to the Bustin Mommas... I have no problem donating to them, but it wasn't necessarily my first thought until someone mentioned it. KWIM?

You can chose which charity you want to donate to. You aren't obligated to donate to me.

[brandy]

sorry erin... i can understand where the confusion was.... when it was mentioned in your hair cutting thread, jenn said donate it to the walk to end breast cancer.... you never disputed that til after.... that is why some are confused.... good on you for shaving your head

[Digrr]

Before Jenn had mentioned walk to end breast cancer I had never mentioned what charity I would be donating too.

I can understand if people only want to donate to the one cause.

I'm a little hurt tho. But I'm a big girl and I'll get over it. I'm still pumped to try my hardest to get lots of donations for both these great charities! :)

[brandy]

i understand you are hurt erin.... i was just trying to say where the confusion came from.... good for you for shaving your head for ANY cause

[sara]

It's a wonderful thing you are doing Erin. :)

[Digrr]

i understand you are hurt erin.... i was just trying to say where the confusion came from.... good for you for shaving your head for ANY cause
Thanks Brandy :)

I guess that's why it's important to read all of the posts in a thread.

[SwankMommy]

I read all the threads! :)

I'm just saying that I said right from the start that I wanted to donate 50.00 to Bustin Mommas. I only donate to cancer. Ever. ONLY.

I totally think it's your prerogative to pick a charity etc. It will now just go against what I donate to. So, I can't do it. I feel very strongly about my charities. Sorry.

I think what you are doing is great though. I really do.

Sorry you feel that way. Kids help phone is a really good charity as well. Did you know that they get calls from University students as well?!

Honestly, I've never really had a strong urge to donate, mostly cause I never seem to have any extra money... I guess that's why it took me a while to figure out who I was going to donate to. And I didn't want to be pushed into one charity or another without really thinking about it. That's why I only partially agreed to the cancer. Don't get me wrong... I think donating to cancer is a great charity - heaven knows it's gotten several in my family and friends...

Glad you understand now.

[danderson]

Good for you Erin!

If you need pictures of the event, you know where to find me! :D

[Digrr]

Thanks Danielle.

Unfortunately for me... I know SEVERAL photographers... And a videographer who also does photos. I have yet to decide who will do photos... But don't be offended I know you do great work... ;)

[heathermom]

Good for you Erin! I agree that you should absolutely pick the charity(s) and then it is up to everyone else if they wish to that particular cause. Good for you!

I know it is. I feel most charities are fantastic causes. This is something that touches you.

I just know for me, I have to stick to one that is close to my heart and soul. Cancer has taken two AMAZING women in my life and left a a devastating void in my life. Therefore, I continue to only donate any money I can to cancer causes. That's why I got excited about this.

I hope you can respect my position.

[Digrr]

Thanks Heather... :)

[tcpaquin]

You will get my vote either way! Your thread did state that YOU would like to choose the charity... If people decide to donate elsewhere that is for them to decide. You are doing this for a wonderful cause!

No one is disputing how wonderful this is or how wonderful her cause is.

Maybe you need to read the 5 or 6 threads that come out of the original post.

I don't think you were here earlier today when it all stemmed out of Erin asking us for tips on her hair, and to be honest we were all so sick and tired of her putting down our help/ideas we told her to shave her head. That's it. Plain and simple. We actually came up with the idea!

I have read all the posts and the original threads thank you very much! Her body, her choice! Her head, her charity...

Sorry that you have decided to create a debate out of something so generous!

I'm done with this... Good grief...

:(

[boogalooz]

:) She going to look so cute... :grin:

[Digrr]

:) She going to look so cute... :grin:
I wonder if I have any flat parts on my head... hmmm

[Digrr]

should I start a new thread with all the info complete in one post so everyone understands and there are no confusions and close this thread.

IMO, I don't ever want to look at parts of this thread again... :(

I will still go through with this, I just want everyone to understand how I'm doing things since it is my hair. Sorry, just feeling a little down now.

[newmom]

Good for you Erin, I think both charities are great and if I can muster up some extra cash, I'll let you know.;)

[jesube]

Good for you Erin.. I'll still support ya. I'd do a whole new post and close this one personally..

I'm sorry I was part of the confusion. :(

Thanks Jenn...

You weren't part of the BIG confusion. You just gave one of the ideas for the charity. I just like to do more ... so I've chosen two! :)

I'll close the thread now ... and start a new one in a bit... children need food...

[Digrr]

Alright... so... my brain has broken and I can't figure out how to close the thread... can someone do it for me please... My kids are going bonkers and I really need to go ...

lol
