Winter Fundraiser, Day 11

Yesterday was by far the most successful day of the fundraiser to date, bring in another $590. That brings the total to $2,121.26, leaving $878.74 to go to reach the goal of $3,000 on or about Dec. 15, which is Monday. I cannot even begin to thank you all who've contributed already. Which is not to say that I don't fire off "thank you" emails, but in two cases yesterday I had trouble there. Someone from Back East mailed me a check, but I don't have an email address for you, so if it's you send me an email please. Another person contributed via PayPal, but the email I sent them bounced back.

Anyway, the fundraiser has just under $900 to go and it would be great to chip away significantly at that amount today. As usual, the PayPal button is on the right, or if you prefer snail mail, send me an email and I'll send you a mailing address.

Thanks again to all of you for your support.

It is a sad statement that you even have to run this fund raiser. It is a pathetic statement that you still have to ask for donations.

Readers, think! All he's asking for is a sorry $10 from you. I don't have a brain big enough to divide that by 365 days! But let's just assume you stop by this blog only ten times a year, right? If you hand over ten dollars, that means you've given one dollar per visit.

Now, I may be a bit simple in the maths area, because my dad's an accountant, but if you read Philip's blog, say, twenty times a year, why the donation would work out at 50 cents a pop.

I think you know where I'm going next, but you're wrong! I could toss numbers at you until I'm sane in the head, but that would be just silly.

Do yourself a favour and help others. Give Philip some monetary recognition. You'll feel good, he'll be able to pay the rent, others will find his site and Santa will save your coal until it's "clean coal". How great is that?

I gave. And the cat gave.

Waiting patiently for the Dawdy girl cats to make their appearance.

Come on folks, Philip works his ass off for us and gives us cat pictures!
