Congrats Kirsten and jewstice!!

UPDATE: 2 Threadlessers just won money by asking for it. I congratulate you very much, Kirsten and Jewstice :D

I just found out something cool...

From the CambrianHouse website:

"The Robinhood Fund empowers everyday people to make a wish. Created in the spirit of Robin Hood, the fund grants wishes based on community votes. You can use the fund for anything: a wedding dress, credit card debt, or even money for college."

Better check out their site:
Robinhoodfund

You have until 12noon MDT before you can enter your wishes for this week's round!!!!! :)

*it's a site where you can enter your financial wishes...
then if you're wish is selected by the community,
your wish will be granted...
and you'll be given some money!

(You don't even have to make a t-shirt design!!!) j/k, Threadless.. :P

UPDATE!
The deadline for submission of wishes has been extended (moved to Thursday, Nov2, 12 noon MDT)
So make your wishes now!! :D

Wow that's weird. I wonder if that will work out. I'll have to keep checking that out

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:03am

yep... that company has always been destroying conventions and challenging the norms...

they even sent me a shirt because they had a problem with sending too much email!!!!!

I love CambrianHouse.

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:03am

Today's their first ever Robinhood fund round!

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:12am

amy122166 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:15am

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:15am

wow.. wait when does this end? i wont have time to make a video!

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:16am

It ends this noon, MDT.

There's always next week :)

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:16am

15 minutes??!? fuck!

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:16am

oh alright. ::calms down::

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:18am

It's still 9:18 AM in MDT.

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:18am

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:19am

what's your wish, blonde?

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:19am

oh sweet. i think my wish is exactly along the lines of what they stand for. wish me luck.

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:21am

oh.. i see

what's your wish category by the way?
and, they said will grant at least 5 wishes this week.. one per category...

and it's just a NEW site... so FEW people have entered their wishes
so you have a HIGH chance of being selected... maybe :)

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:22am

a one-way ticket to australia. my parents are really forcing me to attend a university in the usa that I don't want to go to. I found one in australia that I'd be much happier to attend, and they offered me scholarships. It's taking a huge risk and is completely out of the norm, but it's really what I want. If they could cover the cost of my plane ticket that would be a huge weight lifted.

ohyoustealher on Nov 01 '06 at 11:22am

I entered a wish. I'm not hoping for much, but it was a cute idea

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:22am

i'm going to wait until next week because i feel like including a video will really communicate my message much better.

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:24am

whoa, nice nice!!

yeah... wait till next week... and uhmmm..
probably the funds will increase next weeek too, if they get enough donors..

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:24am

what's yours, stealher?

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:25am

what a great cause. i'd be more than happy to contribute to it. ::hopes they're not scammers:: :P

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:25am

post your video here on threadless, so we can watch it, ayt?

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:26am

yeah, I hope they're not scammers.. but anyway.. there's no privacy, or credit cards involved... so... maybe it's safe...

no harm in trying.. XD

ohyoustealher on Nov 01 '06 at 11:27am

mine was for money to help my mom repair her house. it's been falling apart (literally, she hasn't had a bathroom ceiling in 7-8 years) around her and she just doesn't have the time, the money or the know how to fix it. she's working two jobs, 7 days a week, and is 46 years old. it's far too much for her to handle and even with the help of my brother and myself, we just don't know how to fix everything that breaks so it all gets worse.

ohyoustealher on Nov 01 '06 at 11:27am

I figure even if it's not for real I got my sob story out and all they have in return is my email.... so bring on the junk mail!

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:28am

wow, that's nice!!

and yeah, putting a video might help too. ^^

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:30am

at the top it says their fund is $1000. so is that the most they'll give out?

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:30am

aw I hope you get it :)

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:31am

no, don't worry.. I think we're safe here..

it is a project of Cambrianhouse, and it's a very big and generous community.

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:33am

ahmm... I think the $1000 will be divided on to the selected wishers...

but they also said that the funds will increase (on a weekly basis, I think)...

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:46am

I wonder how many wishes will be in by noon

blonde8007 on Nov 01 '06 at 11:46am

I'm going to wait until the fund goes up a bit. mine is going to cost about $900-$1100

kirstenlovesdinner on Nov 01 '06 at 11:47am

thanks so much for that link! I wished for the money to make my cat better.

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:50am

oh... big amount blonde! I think yeah, you have to wait..
IMO, this week they will give maybe about +-200 each..

kirsten..no prob, yeah, I was so delighted when I received a message about that site... so I was also giddy to spread the good news... :)

backtozero on Nov 01 '06 at 11:58pm

Hey!!! the time has been extended!!!

One day more!! :D

yay!

SlicedUpEyeballs on Nov 02 '06 at 12:51am

so you have to pay money to win money? Dosen't make a lot of sense considering people with no money will be doing this...

backtozero on Nov 02 '06 at 5:36am

no, you don't have to pay!
You just send in wishes, nothing more :D

religion on Nov 02 '06 at 6:38am

its just for usa and canada residents, dang.. :((((((

backtozero on Nov 02 '06 at 8:58pm

oh yeah... I just found out that you really have to pay before you make a wish.

And then, I also just found out that it's for USA and Canada residents only... and only for those 18 and above!

---

And when I made my wish (way before they made those changes) I did not know about those... so...

I am not a US/Can resident.
I am under 18.
I did not pay $5.

Now what :(
wah... stupid meee

anderscm on Nov 02 '06 at 9:32pm

hey all - Christine from Cambrian House here.
just to let you know voting has started on the wishes that were submitted in the last few days. As a Beta special we're granting wishes mid-week (on Saturday) then starting weekly on Wednesday. Get your wishes in for the next round. :) oh and send any feedback (or bugs) to: feedback@robinhoodfund.com

oh and forget the usa/canada thing, that's just a copy mistake. it's worldwide! :)))))))

religion on Nov 02 '06 at 9:34pm

hey backtozero, may ym kb?

backtozero on Nov 02 '06 at 9:41pm

whoa, an admin from CH, welcome there, Christine!!
yay! worldwide! :D though I have to wait until I turn 18... XD

religion, meron, kaso matagal na akong ndi nag-YYM...
I-aadd kita. :D

kirstenlovesdinner on Nov 02 '06 at 9:42pm

backtozero, I'm not so sure about the money thing... because my & steve's wish for my cat is up and everything.

Anyway, please please please vote for my cat wish!
It's in the Health & Wellness section... it's the only one about a cat.
