I feel your Paypal pain!!!! *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!*

I just renewed my patronage by check and mail also. I also have one day left on my patronage. It takes the mail about 5 days to get from here in the Midwest to NYC (presumeably the carrier pigeon has to fight a headwind). I'll keep you posted on how long it takes.

I think a semi-annual renewal option is a good idea. For some reason paying 1/2 the amount twice a year makes me feel better about spending the dough ...or allows me to rationalize better.

And Maria, I agree with you on that Direct Deposit thingie......
I want my reinforcement placed directly in my grubby- yet radiant- paw!!!!
