Losing my gold star is like getting my phone shut off...
Holy crap... I went to do a search and was told I needed to be a donor... LOL It's kind of like forgetting to pay your phone bill and then finding the service is cut. It wakes your ass up... Anyway, I've paid my DU bill and now have to wait for my er...service to be reconnected.;-)

BTW: I really wish that DU had a subscription service with paypal.. Then I'd never forget...It would automatically be deducted.

Now give me back my damn Star!

2. Really?
So, isn't there some sort of reminder? Or does this just surprise one? I wonder if Skinner could add a little script that would send a notice 30 days before the star burns out?

Some poor sod billions of years from for gets an e-mail from a long forgotten political website called "DemocraticUnderground" telling him his start is going to burn out. 30 days later the Sun goes Supernova. :)

...couldn't he at least get something useful? Like the latest lottery numbers or something? Die happy and all that ya know.

MMMMMMM, thought happening.

Note to Skinner: Dude if you can arrange to have an e-mail come my way with the winning lottery number attached I promise to donate a chunk to DU. Really, I will. Promise! :)
