Come on, people! Only 33 more donations to go!
This is the first time the drive has ever gone this long! Even if you can't donate a lot, small donations add up, and we need to show solidarity and get behind our friends and site administrators. So give, even if it's only a few dollars! When I was at my poorest, I still gave, even if it was $5.

I'm still on a fixed income but I gave what I could. And let's face it: even if we're as poor as possible, $5 isn't too much to ask--we waste that much in one way or another often enough. And it wouldn't be a waste if it was given to DU.

There was laughter here when we noticed that donations at FR were going slow, but it's rather a bite in the ass to see it happening here as well! We're supposed to be better than that!

17. I'm supposed to watch when we hit 1000
because I've promised 3 stars to the closest predictors.

But, if I don't get a nap, I may discorporate. Wrote into deadline last night/ this morning and am meaner than a dry Lab with no chew.

Is anyone else watching the countdown?

25. I can cover for you right now, take a break...
but be sure to let me know when you get back on...there's no telling when I could be kicked off on a weekend and this fundraiser really is "the worst fundraiser ever"...moving at a snail's pace. Have a feeling the much later predictions on your post will be the winners, so go get some rest.

32. Well, I've already put up supper & it won't be ready til 7...
so I can hit refresh every minute til then, to see if we make "the shave".

My man is occupied with something else, and I will defend my seat if he tries to take the 'puter away before we eat, ha!

I can cover for you.



Revision: Ooooooh, looks like we may be real close, now.

30. I'm tempted to go into some threads
and politely ask anyone without a star why they haven't donated yet! I wouldn't really do that, but it's funny thinking about it! :rofl:
