Jack that's a noble sentiment. There is an old saying, "Charity begins at home." If you will allow, I'll take this opportunity to remind members that GHS is how Keith makes his living and supports his family. Please members, consider making a donation to support the site.

Thanks Skip Peel,
The GHS site is deserving foresure! Jack will be making a donation to Keith at GHS today.
The info. Jack has used from GHS and it's members has made Jack thousands of dollars more than he would have made without GHS as his #1 info. resource. GHS has also helped Jack by guiding him not to sign away things unnecesarily and to add items in agreements that will benefit his mineral estate. This will mean more $ down the road.
We all need to show Keith the love cried Jack Blake!

How about that infamous bombastic charity known as taxes? In 2011 some will give 39.6% not counting an extra 15% for being self employed. Don't forget roughly 5% for one's state and let's say 7% for sales tax. So, that's around 67% for some new millionaires to "donate" while only 47% paid in to the tax system for 2009. A million ain't squat these days. Btw, I donated to the site and give to many other charities.....the tax thing infuriates me though.

I agree with you Parkdota......A million ain't what it used to be, especially after taxes! But I too have donated to the site, and also givin numerous monetary gifts on a regular basis to charities such as St. Jude, which by the way, I was donating to many many years prior to the Haynesville Shale being discovered.

Jack agrees that a million ain't what it used to be and you can't retire on just 1 million, but the HS $ were an unexpected blessing for all who got/is getting any.
Checkmateking,
Jack won't do Jack for $100.00. That's a lowball offer. Do you or did you used to work for SWEPI?
The HS-WHAT A BLESSING HOWLED JACK BLAKE!!!!

Jack that is so nice to mention to everyone to express that sentiment to hotel maid. I try to leave something each time also. I do plan to donate to the site (Keith) as soon as I get some money.

Third person I don't care and I do tip hotel maids (a bit less than you), but here's some (free) advice. Tip on the first night and your service should be really (really) good. Just like handing the bartender a ten or twenty on the first round if you're going to be there a while and he (she) will take care of you. Congratulations on your good fortune.

Hi, What a great idea. My part will not make anyone rich but I am going to divide with my 4 children. 2 of my daughters are stay at home moms and 2 of my children are paying for education for my grandchildren.
