But seriously... I for the life of me can't reason out the thought process that says "get over it". It adds nothing to the effort to get someone their money. Money they donated to an idea that was a simple little tribute to a Tiki palace that no longer exists.

A little history for you. Perhaps it might help you understand why your "sh*t happens" ethos doesn't sit well with me. I'll cut to the chase. I stopped associating with the effort I started to get a Tiki raised at the site where Tiki Gardens once stood. It was after a vitriolic email full of vulgarities directed at me. All because I was willing to accept a donation from a person who couldn't make the $20.00 pledge. I tried to do a good deed, and recieved grief because of it.

Kind of like right now.

So I get an email from someone who gave to the drive because they loved a place they used to visit all the time. Even though I wasn't associated with the drive anymore I didn't think this was right. I could have just adopted the " into every life a little shit must happen " ethos you espouse.

But thats not who I am. Sorry. You may be like that, but I'm not.

But here you are with little barbs that contribute nothing to the idea of doing something right.
It borders on troll like behavior. AGAIN, Get over the fact that I'm trying to help someone out.

If that doesn't get through, try SOD OFF for size.
