I looked up those Belgian shoes so many of you discuss here, and if you can afford to wear those, you can probably throw down another $20, even if your charity money is already designated. Also, Mr. ADG, if you're ever in Houston, I'll treat you to (or sneak you into) one of my classes and follow it up with martinis in the company of a gaggle of yoginis.

You introduced a thought, sometimes a thought must percolate in a reader's head before reader is called to action. OTOH maybe the action will be a courtesy extended to one in uniform out there somewhere, maybe it will manifest as a softening around a jagged edge regarding what I think has become pervasive anger about our being in prolonged wars. The list of possible eventualities resulting from your original gesture is immeasurable, so don't count hits for a frame of reference.

I should NEVER quit my day job for a commercial effort at blogging...that's why you don't see ads on my site...AND...I would be a flop at development and fundraising. <br /><br />I'm sure it's a failing on my part but compared to the number of blog visits I get per day, and more precisely, compared to the number of blog hits I've received in the last 24 hours,I'm embarrassed for even asking people for the twenty bucks...given the disappointing number of people who were moved enough to donate. Again, I'm sure it's me and my wobbly ass writing skills and the lame way I crafted a twisty-turny story that ended in a request for twenty bucks.<br /><br />So I'm just gonna go back to doing what I do best.

Read here...<br /><br />Thank you so much. I can tell you first hand that the guys and gals over there really appreciate it. I do have one concern. I was reading the blog and I believe it was Flo that mentioned that she had tried to place an order for a couple of bottles and the total came to $40. That doesn't sound right at all. We have a shipping option that lets folks click the method of shipping they prefer...UPS or USPS. The total for 2 bottles being shipped anywhere in the U.S. via the Post Office's Flat Rate shipping box would be $18.70 (that includes the 2 bottles AND the shipping cost). Please have her contact me direct at lizco@sc.rr.com and I will personally straighten it out. The only thing I can figure is she was getting a total for the donation AND the regular order at the same time (which would have come to approximately $40). Thank you again for all you have done.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-51361987025994088962010-10-18T21:15:21.297-04:002010-10-18T21:15:21.297-04:00ADG - Mais oui (and today's musical selection ...ADG - Mais oui (and today's musical selection didn't hurt).ilovelimegreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704346108310846391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-14056751196197709152010-10-18T21:13:49.688-04:002010-10-18T21:13:49.688-04:00Just know that I'm very simple-minded and only...Just know that I'm very simple-minded and only read blogs for the pictures so the over-load of words tend to make my eyes glaze over.
