The Flowers to Nina campaign, Why not? Options

[K6FEJ]

We could do that, however... thought is that we might all call at different times, or worse yet at the same time and end up going over anyway. Does anyone have a pay pal account? I do, I'm sure someone who's more "well known than me" would have one here too... maybe we can just do it online to one person's account and let them handle payment on the flowers?

As for the arrangement, I liked the singapore and lilly combo, as for the announcement, I liked the limerick the best, by best :-) Thanks to whomever does the payment end of things in advance!

Ok.. It looks like we need a volunteer to collect the funds via PayPal... So Nightshade did I kinda hear a volunteer form you??

Of course you did! However, my reservation is this: I'm not known well yet, ie...I've not been posting on CBS actively and as long as many others even on this board have been. I myself would be concerned about that LoL I try to always turn it around to think, ok... I'm fine with this, but what's the flip side? So, I thought perhaps someone who is more a "SR" Jericho Ranger might want to head that one up. If no one else will, I will for sure not a problem... but I didn't ever for a moment want anyone to ever wonder about me. Hence, I suggested another person do it... LoL (Did that make any sense? I'm a woman so sometimes I do over-kill with the verbage, sorry)

Nightshade thanks. I have no reservations about you at all and think you are outstanding Ranger.

We need to get this moving along so I nominate Nightshade as our official collector of the funds... Does anyone want to second the motion?

This Idea came up on another thread when we were commenting on this article... http://www.keegy.com/search/devoted-fans/

Seems Nina had some comments on how passionate the Jericho fans are. It also seems she still is quite fond of us.

Nina has a lot of power in the television world and a good word, nod or phone call from her could possibly make a difference.

So why not show Nina a little Jericho love? Exacily... why not? We have nothing to lose.

So here is the deal... We contact the local flower shop ( I used this one for Hollywood Reporter) http://www.parisblooms.com/ and send her some lovely flowers with a knock your socks off note.

Very inexpensive campaign to say the least.

The flowers start at $65 and I'm in for that amount so anything over is for a nicer arrangement.

So a few more dollars is helpful.. But not necessary.

So we need to see what we want to send first. So go to the site and make some suggestions and we go from there.

Now we need the hard part! A knock your socks off Nina note
We have had a couple of suggestions on the other thread so lets get some here also and we can vote for the best Nina note.

The plan is to get the flowers out by next week... so lets get to work!

I'll second it.

[clmbelieves1]

I'll second it.

NightShade, I think you have our trust. You have mine!

Unfortunately, at this time...I am funded out! I am being a bit selfish, I admit...I have vacation coming up...and I want some spending money. I hope people understand.

[NightShade]

I'll second it.

Well Gawwwwwwleeee, as Gomer would say! Thank you :-) I'll have my husband set something up right away... He has a paypal account, of course, we bid on some auctions. So I'll give you the details as soon as I get em from him LoL

So... which arrangement did everyone decide on, and what's the price, and the message?

Not a problem! I just went through that going home to Minnesota, so I had no funds to do anymore for the Food Bank or the Nuts Drive last time either :-( Hey, they'll be lots more to do down the road, I'm sure... I just appreciate your help so much all the time here, keeping us all pumped up and being a good Ranger - I know that being a Ranger is more than just money, it's heart, time, and friendship too! Thank you, clm... you've been so good to everyone.... Hey, where are you going on vacay? Do tell? Is it sinfully exotic? Or deliciously local?

I was thinking... If you'd like, rather than a limerick, perhaps something a little more in keeping with the style of the gift would be appropriate. I wrote an English-style sonnet that I thought might convey our well-wishes, including a coda which expresses our ongoing determination:

"Transmission from Jericho" 07/29/08

Though lean and hungry seasons pass us by
In Jericho, the Rangers don't forget
Our friends and allies past, which, now, is why
We honor and in fondness hold you yet

So please accept this cheer and warm regard
In token of the battles we have shared
And for the inspiration to fight hard
To fight, and further down our road to fare

In dots and dashes is our story told
As "History starts now" lofts o'er the air
The phoenix from its ashes wings unfold
And warns those who'd forget us to take care:

Our fierce, enduring spirit yet lives free
With passion we survive: "Don't tread on me"


Just wanted to make what contribution I could.

Thank you kindly; it's what I do, and it's my pleasure to do my part, just like any Ranger.

If y'all would indulge my perfectionism, there's a line that got a letter dropped:

The phoenix from its ashes wings unfold(s)

Just want to make sure that last "s" gets added in the final version, thanks!
