Thread: I was surprised and gratified

I'm not at all impressed with these "new developments".

It's been noticed that when you are in crisis it pays to look around and help someone who's situation is even worse than yours. Why does it work? Well, nobody really knows but it does, that's all. It works each and every time. Doing it right may not be easy, but still it's a great survival tool granted all and every one of us. Sorry, I have to go and water the flowers, otherwise I may not be able to finish this post - you see, their (and anyone else's) cries for help are quite audible (not only for Him Who sees and hears everything but also for anyone willing to lend an ear).
I am back - don't know why I am feeling so good :shock: - do you, by any chance? :) - anyway, it can't be because I've helped my wife's flowers survive, can it?

I know that you KNOW all about it - but I was surprised and gratified to see that more and more members actually ACT accordingly - after all, ignoring the universal rules may be dangerous. I particularly refer here to the unfolding boom of Pipsaid. (www.pipsaid.com).
Bryan personally promoted it in everywhich way he could think of but we preferred to show him that he can't make us part with OUR money. Our actual response was, "Who cares what YOU want? It's what WE want that matters" And it looks like we might have overdone it.
(As a result) Playing the lotto is the only way left to spend the PicPay dollars that Bryan has piled up in our accounts for us.
And it's good to see more and more members buying tickets. Smart people! Indeed, why sit and wait for our mistakes to bury us? We can act! :)

Sincerely,

gnome

They have institutions for those kind of behavior.

:shock:

I find it simply appalling. Regardless of what you believe we "ARE" helping others by even loaning money to PXPS in the first place. Also regardless to what you and anybody else thinks.... our (well at least..my) purpose in life is NOT only to help others. I got involved with PXPS to help myself and my family and if that makes me bad, then shoot me. I dont mix words I tell it like it is. Now having said that I think that all of the Charity's that PXPS helps is a wonderful thing, but I didnt join JUST to help out those charity's and NONE of you did either. If you say you did then you simply speak a lie and nothing more. So the bottom line is this, if he cant get us our money, he shouldnt be giving any of it out period. Not to charity's not to himself. Not until EVERYTHING is fixed to where we get ours when we want it. THEN deal with the charity's.

I agree!

But it shouldn't be you or I who determines how we spend our money. Granted, people may need a reminder that there are people out there that are less fortunate - and thanks for the Reminder :-) but who is to say that a member's needs are less. They are making ends meet and want to be a little better off. Also, each member contributed to charity with his/her account daily. So every member is contributing.

But a good post and shouldn't be forgotten

Take care

Hey Ryder,
You and I understand each other, don't we? :)
I agree with you and thanks for YOUR reminders, too.

Best,

gnome

I am like so many others here and joined because half the time I feel just as broke as those we are sending out pips money to. So if it is selfish to want the money in my bank then I guess I am a sinful person. I have put quite a bit of money into the PIPs aid but do not plan on placing it until we start to see some movement of funds to the people who have loaned. Heck some of us deserve just as much of a break. I am sorry the Tsunami took so many lives but now it is the living who have to make it and my family is first then helping others can come into the picture.

Hi Emeans,

To want the money in your bank is normal, no doubt about that. Thanks for letting us know your thoughts. Will you agree, though, that if someone wonders why we are having the Aid Rush (or even wants to join in) it's also quite normal? :)

Regards,

Hey.. I want to do both.
I want to help people thru pips and I want to help the membership thru the release of the WDs.
So the only answer here now in all fairness is to pay us.
I will be so happy to be more giving if the company starts giving.
IT IS OUR TURN ,, now lets be FAIR, let the giving begin .
We paid for all that stuff, we made him rich.. time to give back.
This has been highly unfair for tooooooo long now.

Truepipster,

Looks like it was you who facilitated BM's update. :)
I mean everybody was waiting for him to speak and then you suggested that we had made him rich which is not true so he corrected you.

Thanks!

Hi, BKKRob,

Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to.
Perhaps you could tell us what it is in my post that you find outrageous?
