Donation Thread - Now Opened Ended Without Deadline

In response to this thread - In the Hospital - I reached out to Jeff (vortish) and asked his permission to allow us to help him.


Fri Jun 13th NOTICE - Since the cat got let of the bag - which is alright - I wish to announce just a bit early that by unanimous vote all current PayPal donors have decided to give Jeff the donated prize items (not including the previous single, eligible, and available ladies) - Where this will now simply be a straight donation thread from here on out.


PayPal Donations have so far been made by:

Donation current running total $1560:


List of Donors having contributed items directly to Jeff









And also from my collection is the Polished Kryton PL520 520nm 87mW built by scumbagathiest
The picture of the beam I took does not do justice to how perfectly and cleanly round the dot is. I didn’t want to run the time up on this guy messing with getting just the right exposure, so if nothing else I included it so you all could appreciate the green goodness of 520nm. (the red material beneath the front of the laser is a velcro cable tie that I used to raise the front up off the mat to obtain a better angle of view)





Even though these fine ladies are no longer part of an Officially Offered Prize (and maybe never much of a prize anyway) the following whom I know for a fact to be single, available (at anywhere from 10 years to life that is) and anyone of them I am sure would probably be thrilled for most any member of LPF to hit on them during any regularly scheduled inmate visiting day.



It is now completely open enrollment for the pen pal of your choice, and still provided as a promotional offer from Ranker.com
The 57 Hottest Women Currently in Prison


So don't waste any time as this a once and a lifetime (yes, there are several with life sentences to choose from) opportunity to do something positive, worthy, and way outside the norm. :wave:


Disclaimer: Neither the requests within this thread for donations be made to Jeff nor the associated give-a-way items will benefit me by any means or manner other than knowing we have done something good and very worthwhile.

Re: An Outstandingly Good Thing About LPF

I wish to say thank you to Max for helping my family out with this generous thread! I'm just now starting to get a little better but still having tremors and some weakness in my left side I am going to my doctor on Monday and getting a referral to a Neurologist to find out what is wrong with me. Thanks again Max


For any that do donate I want to say thank you for helping us out.. It will not be forgotten and it is much appreciated

Re: An Outstandingly Good Thing About LPF

OK I will start the ball rolling. Where do I donate?

Re: An Outstandingly Good Thing About LPF

first found out about lpf after I came out of the hospital for about 4 months and 9 days in ICU. Still being treated as an out patent for around 1 1/2 years. Life sucks sometimes (a lot). But you guys make it great. All the knowledge here and the things that only science fiction would deem possible are possible here. Even got to make a couple of my own. Thanks guys. We need more people like you in the world.

Your doing great man. Hang in there. And most of all never loose hope. Remember what you are fighting for and hold on to that. There is nothing more powerful than human will.

Re: An Outstandingly Good Thing About LPF

I will be getting involved here with a bunch of stuff.
$5 is nothing in the big scheme of things and I'm sure many can do better than that.
I'll likely post this afternoon with a pic of donations after I get home and have a chance to look around.

You guys are making me get emotional! Doing this for a total stranger! who you never met or even talked to! I have seen the kindness of this community to help out one of our own. I never thought to be one of those that needed help! I have one failing that is pride! I try never to ask for help but give it. The generosity that is being given to me and my family will never be forgotten! I will try to live up to the example being shown to me and mine. A single donation made my wife cry yesterday...She thought the forum was just that a forum now she understands that its a community that takes care of its own. New members, Vets, we are all the same here!

You all who dwell on LPF thanks you for your concern and your help and may god, or who ever you chose bless you!

Ty from my family and me!

Re: An Outstandingly Good Thing About LPF

you are very welcome Jeff--

Even small amounts will add up -we are a big forum- Born in march 2006- and some back then did not see the sense in yet 'another laser forum' --

I did not know of LPF until 2008-

On my 'bucket list' meeting as many forum members in person as possible-

so far I only can guess that i have been blessed meeting maybe 50 members-hope to someday meet you Jeff and your family- til then keep your spirit high. hak
