Yep, it's TODAY! Later this afternoon, I will be making my promised trip down to the local Chinese restaurant, and will attempt to eat 100 or more mussels. Why? To raise money for Free Republic, of course!
You can still help, too. Here's how. So far, dozens of FReepers have pledged to donate a set amount to FR for every mussel I eat. Some have pledged .10 cents a mussel, some .25 cents, $1.00, and more. What can you pledge?
To date, I believe we have a total of $16.05/mussel. If I reach my goal today of 100 mussels, that means $1605.00 will have been raised for FR.
I will be carrying out my duties at 1PM, MST. FReepers in Colorado are welcome to join us at the Grand China Restaurant at 28 1/2 Road & North Avenue (behind AutoZone) in Grand Junction. When it is all said & done, I will post results, along with pics, on another thread.
So, take the time now to get your last minute pledges in. Just post your reply below with the amount you pledge. If you don't want to post here, FReepmail me, and I will include your pledge.
That's it folks. I'm off to get my day started. Here's to hoping I get a good batch of mussels!

For your viewing pleasure(?).
This is about 30 - 35
That's #50 getting ready to go down the hatch
Notice the tears in my eyes? That was just after gagging down #101!
Showing off the shells of 101 poor, defenseless mussels - they gave their lives for a good cause...may they rest in peace (but by the way my gut feels right now, I doubt they are)

We're planning to use part of the extra funds that came in this quarter to add another server and more memory and disk space to our existing servers.YES! That is great news, and I'm glad enough extra came in to be able to do that. Thanks, Jim and to all of you AWESOME FReepers!
