cannas still ain't above my ankles... and they ain't lookin' too healthy... maybe 50% came up... I'm waterin' em... but they jest don't look good...
I'll get over it...
We should ask JimRob to put a Hobbit Hole Troop Support button on the front page.
At the very least, other Freepers could easily donate.
mrsnad went with thegirl tuh Districts... left me here with theboys...
gotta go stop an attempted homicide in progress...
BBL...
Maybe after the FReepathon he'd do that.
Any time, chica!
Naaahhh...to get the real hurricane experience you have to listen to the wind howl and the trees crack and stay up all night wondering if a tree is going to fall on your house.
hehehehe...
Good luck with that, g'nad.
Now, where's that pic with the cringing kid you usually post to Corin?
*shudder*
I wouldn't want Hair to visit during anything stronger than a Cat 2!
I truly believe that this project could be fully supported by FReepers. We just need to spread the word.
Too bad we can't hyperlink our taglines.
No, but that's still an idea
'Course I don't know how close you are to water so you might have storm surge to worry about too....and then there's the car....
hmmm. crispy bacon. Second breakfast anyone?
Wrangling a major donation or two would certainly help, in addition to our smaller regular checks. Winmag as bankroller with us kicking in only what we ~can~ is very financially risky to our Rick, who is not about to say 'no' to a soldier who writes. Trouble is, we probably aren't' going to get the charitable wings of any corporation to donate without official 501(c)3 status, and I don't think there's any interest in doing that. We'd have to find folk willing to make a personal contribution without any return of deductibility.
I don't think deductibility is really that important to most people. It's not probably a deal breaker. They just want to know it's for real. Official status makes people feel like it's not a scam.
Maybe FReepers wouldn't care... I wonder if JimRob would allow a thread about it after the 'thon. But then again, I wonder if winmag wants that.... It would make available, through paypal, some of his personal info... maybe that could be made more anonymous. Also, there's the risk that if we tried to get more publicity through a thread or through emailing our friends, we'd get more new requests for knives than new money ;~D
Morning Corin - perhaps the naybers would prefer some rocks near the property line, and you could tell them that you are in process of developing 'a riffle/pool complex' which is an excellent aquatic habitat type.:-)
I'm in Kendall, which is inland.
No storm surge to worry about here.
But trees falling are a definite danger.
mmmm...I'd like any type of food at this point.
I'm hungry.
That's where I'm headed...
Checked in for my flight already...got an ailse seat.
Hmmm.... we'd love it! I think there is potential that he'd allow ~something~, if not something that overt. There are certainly others who have wanted to fundraise here and he can't really allow it for everyone, but he may allow something. We need to do some work though, first. We (ecurbh honey) need to really spiff up the other site before making any appeals to him about it, with all this soldier feedback included and a clear description of what we do.
At least it's coming during the day. I hate it when they hit at night...you can't see the trees falling.
