Phobia, get my msg?

[Holladay]

I sent this to Phobia, but thought that the CP should know...because it was your idea.
------------------------------------------
I am posting this because I have no clue on how to do this. It is not case sensitive and think this would be nice to help anyone. This idea came from you all, at the CP.

I want to get tracksion and I might not be on for awhile. The wife left for Germany today, there will be a bunch of concubines occupying my time

Just thoughts:

This is the point. I posted this the the training camp thread # 3183 if the attachment didn't work. By the way, TheVirus took the picture. He was 10 feet away, and didn't know it.

This is Clayton, the disabled son of the gal I referenced in the "Happy GIF" thread.

It ends up that not only are they going to both Denver games (they live in CO Springs), they got free tickets to the Tuesday practice in the VIP tent. They drove all night Monday to make the practice. Stayed the day and drove home. I was there as well.

They don't make much money, so as it turns out, this is the families Christmas gifts. Again, it floored me. I have known her since HS and never knew she was such a fan.

The practice personnel positioned us on the walkway back up the hill to the locker room. At the end of practice, the players would grab one of the kids and push them up the hill. The first player to come by was Marcus. All I can say about him is Wow! What a kid. He talked with Clayton and us for about 15 min. He is down to earth and is so excited. He said he was living a dream. I gave him a little crap about growing up a Raiders fan. He grinned (he grinned the whole time) and growing up he had always respected the Chiefs. He made the day quite special for Clayton.

We ended up getting most of the players autographs. So we met most of them. A really nice group of young men. They are HUGE. My friends other son was there and is 6'2". He looked kinda small. Of course I was a midget at 5'8". I have never been up close like that. I talked a bit with Mitch Schwartz about his book with his brother. Geoff played for us 2 yrs ago. I think I was remembering right and mentioned wouldn't be fun to play on the same team. He at guard and brother at tackle. He said yea, but they would probably fight too much. I asked Sherman how he likes playing FB. He loves steamrolling people. I think he is wider then he is tall. His arms are bigger then my thighs.

A couple of other observations. Santos is a stud. He kicked for 45 min straight. My leg would have fallen off. I think he only missed once. When he went over to practice with the rest of the team, he booted 2-3 of them so high and long that the dude who was on the 4 story elevated camera platform in the end zone caught them. Right in the numbers.

Towards the end of practice, the QBs came over to the west field (right in front of the VIP tent) and had a goal post competition: how many times can you hit the goal post at varying distances. It was pretty amazing how accurate all of them were. It reminded me of ~~Grbac that hit the goal post instead of the receiver during a game??

All said and done, a wonderful day. None better then for Clayton. The NFL and or the Chiefs can say they can do at least one thing awesome.

thread count # 3183 if this didn't get applied correctly

There were a quite a few replies...that I didn't even think about, that we should put up a collection to help out people, especially kids with problems.

I have not able to respond much lately (look at my post count...lol)

If there was a case to help, this would be one.

My problem is that I don't have a clue one how to set a Pay Pal, whatever to help out.

She doesn't know what I am trying to do, and I would not have thunk to ask, except the CP members would like to help out. I think it is worthy. Heck, not made of money, but could pony up $50.

What can you do? Post a pay pal thread? With the Lawyers on CP, set up a 501(c) 3, non profit idea? Set up a fund to help fans get to games that have little money? As Christmas gift? Or at least help a little?

I would be willing to help as much as possible, but am not tech savy.

My old friends son, Clayton, is disabled. They live in CO. He got free tickets to training camp. TheVirus snapped a picture that shows Marcus Peters. He posted the pic and I supplied the narrative. They don't have much money. For Christmas, she bought for the family, tickets for both of the Denver games. There will no other presents.

That was it. A neat story.

Once posted, there were numerous comments about putting a pot together. I hadn't even thought about it. Thus, I forwarded the thought to a mod. I don't know many of the mods. I have had a tiny bit with Phobia. I thought the planet should be aware. The first part of the thread was personnel for Phobia and I errantly included it.

"Nuke at will"

I don't think the virus actually took that pic. he lives in fla iirc.

but he may have

ThaVirus lives in Florida. I doubt he was there.

Stop thinking everyone is a token black person.

I am old and not very tech savy. I am willing to try though.

You're a nice person - Your heart is very good. Keep doing nice things. You're not old either!

Agreed. His first message was a bit confusing, but his heart does seem to be in the right place.

That one was better because you didn't wander off into side stories and you didn't try to quote a post without using post quote tags.
