Sleep well, sweet lady.

See the right hand column for monthlies, state by state, the average donation, and then the total number at the bottom? I think that’s the accurate, current count.
Okay! That’s the total of all the monthly donors? That’s great. I guess that it’s really all we need.
Ditto everyone you said. This magnificent, dedicated team has worked very hard to increase the number of New Monthly Donors and generous sponsors, (some are team members and multi-time sponsors) have already added $1,130.00 in extra donations to FR with their sponsorships.
FReepers *are* truly the absolute best.
We have a membership that’s comprised of a whole lot of good, loyal and generous FReepers.
It’s a pity that every regular user who can afford to donate, doesn’t donate, for whatever petty reasons of their own.
Yes, I see that Maryland went from 9 to 15. WooHoo!
Well, those receipts and pledges do not include the mail-in’s and I’m not certain when the new monthly donors are first billed. I am certain, however, that our 4th Qrt FReepathon’s goal will be easier to attain, given the number of new monthly donors! When Jim rolls-in the monthlies - WOO-HOO! (((TOL)))
You said a couple of days ago that you get emails as to why some FReepers aren’t donating. What are their reasons?
Night Lady!

 The New Tale of the Ant and the Grasshopper This one is a little different .... OLD VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself! MODERN VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving. CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, We shall overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake, while he damns the ants. President Obama condems the ant and blames President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight. Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with LarryKing that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government GreenCzar and given to the grasshopper. The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful neighborhood. The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it. MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2012.

One said, “Onyx, I won’t donate a dime until XXXXXX gets the zot from Jim.”
Of course, I replied:
“Bless yer heart, and guess what?
XXXXXXX likely doesn’t donate either, so now that makes two of you who don’t donate!
Just sweell, huh?”
