Annual vs Lifetime

Annual vs Lifetime
Friday, February 03, 2006
Most of us pay taxes to live in our home/city/town/state, and all of us pay taxes to live in the USA. When I read the DM's request for $100 for a lifetime (OD's not ours) of Plus I recalled my first free efforts at writing here. My original plan was to be at OD for one year only. I am now in my fifth year. I hope to last at least four more years here so for me the $100 is a no-brainer. I believe that the option of multiple payments would help some diarists to do the plan but that option was not initially offered. I am unsure if it would be viable to permit a two or three pay installment payment for the lifetime plan. My understanding is that the need is urgent.
While it is true that complaints exist about the service itself, it is also true that 35 cents would once buy a quarter pound hamburger, so relatively speaking, $100 for lifetime service is one heck of a bargain. I can recall the time when my bar bill was over $500 a month. (My bar also served lunch and dinner) so, considering the value of what I get from this place and its benefits to me, it is priceless.
I have discovered that in life we can stretch for things that are really important to us. My opinion is that my relationships with you, my friends here at OD, are worth the stretch. I think I will take advantage of the offer. Please share your thoughts with me on this subject.
