My charity auctions including blogburst are alwaysPosted Feb-26-07 04:37:22 PST 100% to the charity through Mission fish. Many of my auctions are won by non bloggers, I do not plug my auctions here as many do. It makes no difference weather or not it is mine or 100% Mission Fish charity. BEFORE I started any charity auction I have contacted the charity and anyone who contributed anything to be sure they were OK with what I did and I also emailed links for they did not see it for themselves. Including one that is disgusted with the charity auction. I have standard listings with the exception of a special template for charities. I feel that these auctions were appeasing to view and contain items that were new tangible items not junk and published photos here of what was in box so all that donated could see their donations went to were I said it would. And have done nothing until I hear back which is right for those who donated ( your stuff is in separate bags with your info in with it) If these auction are not to continue then these items will either be returned to you or donated to another 100% Mission Fish charity. I was running charity auctions before you received your fees back or anything else. I do post updates after all I do have others merchandise that is supposed to be donated and an update to them would be wrong in itself. I made nothing from any charity auction and have added more than was donated for the generous bidder. I have done charity work all my life and will continue to do so. I am proud of reaching my goal of 1 entire year to charity work. Now it has became a way of my life, others chase money, fame, skirts or pants what ever makes you happy . This is my personal pursuit.
This has all started when someone asked a question about permission. Well at least I have ask permission from one who is disgusted and the proper channel. And just for record it was not just one that the original issue started over and HMMM guess who started this part of the conversation if I recall it was the other party to draw the wrong off them. And all the sudden I have someone who I held in very high esteem and respect telling me that it was them and that I did a wrong. No this is a two way street 1 It was brought up on blog that had nothing to do with this and not by me 2 If you felt that strongly you should have spoke up just like you did (privately would have been better) 3 I can handle constructive criticism (yes I may pout a while but than over it) 4 You could have said stop, if you read those emails and viewed, you could have said stop and it would have been done 5 Since brought out in the public then this is were it needs to be addressed IN PUBLIC. Yes I asked for watchers and even said DO NOT BID, after all I thought that the object of post was for publicity for the cause and solely that. I did not care if it did not get 1 bid because publicity in a positive light was good or so I thought. But if I misunderstood the concept of the posts well then I was wrong and freely admit it. Bids were not important because I was donating money even if it went for .99, I would have gladly sent the $5.00 and postage cost to the organization. So you see bids did not matter but it was nice to sent more. And the winners of these auctions found my donation receipt in their boxes for them to use if they should choose to. So I am proud to say I have had no personal gain from any charity thing I have ever done in my life. Right down to working concession stand or library book sale I always paid someone for my purchases that way no one could say I ever benefited from a charity. And all the sudden ( the one disgusted with me) is back on the blogs and asking questions. If you really had concerns, I asked that you just let me know and you could have at anytime. I invited you to and provided my email ( which you did acknowledged and I invited to watch but everyone not just you) every time that I sent you an update. If it was used and abused an email would have sufficed and I would have ceased in a second. Even pulled the listing. I found it amazing that by trying to help this is hows it ends up and all because someone did not honor their word and publicly question something that had no bearing or connection to the topic at hand. Yet when I said something in public I am wrong, is not it right that if no spoke to the family, then if felt I had no right ( and was public spoken about) then others have no right until the blessing are given. This did not hurt me but the charities that have benefited. When this error of mine was brought to my attention I immediately set about to right first of by formerly apologizing to the family and by trying to assist their charity to raise additional funds. Which I am still waiting for word. This is the end I am waiting a response from the proper channels and will pursue the path were ever it leads. Again to right MY wrong, I wish every one would do the same. Sincerely The stupid nitwittery aswegrow2 D:) PS good morning all (((hugs))) and thank you for taking the time to read, have a great selling day
