    Thanks for picking up my mistake. $25 each 100K increment.

    We'd hold you to your pledge :p, but we know how upset your family would be if you had to file for bankruptcy because of Kiva loans :D

    Since I was the fortunate 1M Milepoint poster I have made two $25 loans to some of the late funded accounts today.

    I pledge $100 when we are on the first page in Community. :) However much that ends up by that time for the team total.

    I can't resist the opportunity to help Kiva and Kiwi at the same time, so I will make a loan on New Year's Day. :)

    I'd make more pledges, but since I am making loans virtually every day, I'm trying to come up with something more creative and interesting. I've already howled at the moon for $1M, so what do I do for $2M?
    I know what I would really like - for the team to pass $2M on or before my birthday, which is April 11. It actually doesn't sound like too much of a challenge since it gives us 4 months to lend 950K, and we are already lending at that kind of pace. And with the DO and the next Money Bomb on March 9, we may be passing $2M then.......
    Maybe $2.5 M for my birthday?:D
    Hey nime01, do you remember how outlandish it sounded a couple months ago when I suggested we try to reach $1M by your birthday?
    That was easy!
    So, what do we do for an encore?

    I'll come up with an interesting and creative pledge one of these days............... :p

    As long as you're not going to deduct $25 for each howl. :p

    All pledges are added except for those that don't easily fit in the spreadsheet. :D
    (I trust you keep track of those yourself)

    Oooo. A top 10 pledge. I'll add 25 to that.

    I predict that we will pass Team Norway into 10th place before the end of the year, maybe even by nime01's birthday - Dec. 27. Now, that would be a nice birthday present for our Norwegian Captain/Founder!

    :eek: bloody hell, at first I thought your avatar was the lovechild of KyRoamer and m&s, now I see it is a Milepoint Kiva Splash page! Very ingenious! :D

    I'm sorry sir, the price of a pledge is now $50 per new column :p

    On a more serious note, I'll add one tomorrow :D

    Perhaps we need a separate spreadsheet for our Kiva Crazies sub-team. :D

    I fear it would be a duplicate list of the MP Kiva team! :p

    I just loaned $50 for the 50K increment I am used to celebrating, but notice the spreadsheet doesn't have 50K columns. I'd like to keep up with $50 every 50K -- can you accommodate?

    Since we've passed the million dollar mark, I would expect most new pledges would wind up in this thread. Perhaps the first post in this thread should mention how to make a pledge?

    You can add me for $50 at $50k marks as well. I already invested my $1,050,000 $50.

    Even if you do not expand the spreadsheet, I'll be making these new money investments.
