Looks like you were able to make it to China.
Denise, you are asking for pretty much the entire trip expense.
When players ask for a hand on AZB, it is a better idea to show us that you have also taken some initiative to contribute to your needs.
I can tell you 100%, in the past, when players ask for the total amount, they have not been met with favorable responses either.
So at least, you don't have to feel like the Lone ranger.
Over the years, I have been amazed at the outpouring of Generosity within the AZ Billiard Community.
We really do look after our own in certain circumstances.
Its not that we are a bunch of Haters, but you could look at it this way. It's like going
in front of a panel of judges, such as American Idol.
People will ask questions and scrutinize your request. If you pass the test, chances are, at least a few people will try and help.
Your inactivity on AZB is pretty much what killed it for you, to a great extent anyway.
I think it's obvious to you now, you know that a person just can't pop in and ask for a Donation and then disappear until the next time.
The members here have been burnt a number of times and you can't blame any for being a little wary re situations as this.
I could almost guarantee that if you were to hang out a bit more, the next time that you have a request, it will be met with a little more enthusiasm.
