My thoughts are with you and your family, Andreas!
I remember he always said nice stuff about his parents.

...she knows how to make good pickles.

I made a tuna salad sandwich last night, with a chopped up, and very delicious, pickle.

PF is organizing a fundraiser to buy a customary wreath for his funeral with a PF message. $250 USD is needed.

Paypal gregbernhardt[at]gmail.com with a note that it's for this.

I'll constantly update how much more we need.

The photo means a lot, especially that he allowed himself to be captured and smiling. A glimpse into his mind. Lisa, I also remember him asking advice for his dad's illness, who unfortunately passed away. I'm sure he loved them much.

Then there were all the stories he had about moose and little mooslets. I've never seen one in real-life, it was fun hearing about them through Arildno. For instance: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=569892

Stop it!

I lived in Alaska for a bit. We had mamma mooses in our front yard, looking for things to nibble on, all the time.

I was 7, so it was just something new, like a TV show, only through the front window. :bugeye:

We left when I was 8.

Never got to see a mooslet.

$30/$250 has been raised. Paypal is the easiest. You could mail me a check I suppose. PM me and I'll give you my address.

Can we find out how many people wish to contribute and then see how much it would be per person? Being on disability and single, I am on a very tight budget, but more than willing to pay my share.

I'd contribute some way other than paypal (even though I never really interacted with arildno). I would even use paypal in the mode where you don't need to set up an account (I've done that with online purchases). I would not contribute if it required a paypal account.

I'll cover the balance, for whatever is not raised by Thursday morning.

It's the least I can do, considering how much I admired him.

One of many, Titans of PF.

Have I ever told you that I love you?

From the number of people that have agreed to chip in, the cost per person shouldn't be that high (some mentors have agreed to pay in a thread in the mentor's forum). We just need to find out how much we each need to pay. The more that contribute, the smaller the amount.

I'm also willing to contribute a share, could you PM what would be appropriate?

We have mentioned marriage, a time or two, as I recall :!)

Yay!

As some may know, I'm now unemployed, and dirt poor.

I come from a family so poor, my mom had to draw clothes on us...

OmCheeto, 54 years ago, eating dirt, to survive...


And she probably stole the pen...

It is awfully off topic.

But you just made my day :biggrin:

Thank you everyone. I was not looking forward to going back to dirt baths...

"But you looked really happy Om?"
Happy? Sure! Mom wasn't spitting on a rag, and rubbing my face with it.
And she'd stolen a shirt from the 2nd hand store, that kinda hid the fact that I still wasn't wearing any pants...
