I saw this right away hahaha
But I was puzzled by the “and skydive with them”
(Guess the writer wants to marry more than one person)

Makes sense to me 
. Or perhaps they aren’t picky about gender.

Seems to be quite the crowd in the triangle, I am just south of Raleigh, just outside Garner.

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. LOL.
I may have missed this so forgive me if already answered somewhere. What is the start date of this monthly amount? Is it from the first delay? What is the current tally?
No, it dates back to the December Schedule update:

Hey I got a response via email!
(Possibly due to my forum post?)
Here it is…
Hi Ember,
We know we let you down, and the team around here is working so hard to get your pre-order to you.
Regarding the purchase referral program, sorry that it wasn’t explained clearly - here is how it works:
If you see someone post a referral link on Facebook, Twitter, etc., you can click that link when you make your Glowforge purchase, and you’ll save $100 off your Glowforge. The person whose link you clicked will get a $100 refund at the time of shipping, provided that you do not cancel your order.
When you make your purchase, you will also receive a referral link to share with friends. Each friend who uses your link will save $100 off their purchase, and you’ll get $100 for each person who purchases using your link. Should the person you referred cancel, of course, it won’t count.
Unfortunately, referral credits cannot be used towards an upgrade at this time.
I hope this helps - please let me know if there’s anything else unclear.
Best,
Danny

Oh well…at least you now have an answer. Sorry it won’t be useful to you. 
(Guess they can’t apply an unknown quantity to an upgrade when the people referred might subsequently cancel their orders.)
Ahh… Thanks Jules. So those expecting delivery in Dec '16 should be getting $100 credit if their Glowforge arrives this month. Got it.
Yes, i believe so. 
Perhaps you can wait until your order is about to ship, up grade to the pro with a bank loan and pray that none of your referrals drop out.

Wow. You’re the first person that calculated correctly. Most other people were putting all of December and June in the equation and calling it $140. We are currently 5 whole months beyond the Dec 31st original ship date for folks that ordered before Oct 26, 2015.

Don’t forget that Jesus was in the tomb for three days! Seems like a long time, but 40 hours adoration was the actually devotion. Not even two full days of 48 hours. No disrespect here, as you all know me, but pointing out the vagaries of calendar counting.

True story. It’s not the end of the world and in the end… this machine for a grand is a steal, so it’s all relative.

That’s actually a pretty good idea… Hmmm… Maybe not even a bank loan just savings and get paid back… my referrals are solid, and I’m not even really sure we need the PRO but the fear of missing out is real lol

Actually, I believe if you got your email in June about you GF being ready to ship, and December was when it was supposed to ship, $140 should be correct - at least according to the email I received on December 2nd.
“Finally, you’ve waited a long time for your Glowforge, and we told you it was going to arrive in March. Since it won’t, we’re going to issue you a gift certificate good for either Proofgrade materials or designs in the store. The gift certificate will increase $20 for each month you have to wait, so if your Glowforge is ready in June, it’ll be a $80 gift certificate. If you have to wait longer, it’ll be even bigger.”
So according to my email, March and June would be included. Stands to reason that December would be included along with whatever month it’s ready in.
