Winter Fundraiser, Day Four

Another $225 came in yesterday, bring the total for the fundraiser to $560. That leaves $2,440 to go to reach the goal of $3,000 around about Dec. 15. I appreciate the contributions to date.

So far, 18 readers have contributed to the fundraiser out of approximately 5,000 regular readers of this site. During September's fall fundraiser, 48 readers contributed. I'd feel ever so much better about this fundraiser if another 15 readers, who've not yet contributed to this fundraiser, contributed at $10 or more before the end of today. If that happens, I'll post a picture of myself and my sister atop our pony way back when. Trust me, it's a very, very cute pony.

For those of you who aren't into dorky pictures of me as a tyke on a Shetland pony, please consider today's postings on Risperdal and the attempted defense of Fred Goodwin as inducement to contribute. They are pretty decent work, if I do say so myself.

As usual, the PayPal button is on the right. If you prefer snail mail, send me an email and I'll send you a mailing address.

Thanks again for your support.

Just made the first of my two donations. I have found that splitting my donations enables me to prize an extra five bucks from my cheap Yankee soul. The research Philip does is worth it to me. Just think how much time we'd all be spending, reinventing the same wheel, researching the same stuff, without him doing all this spade work. And I know I wouldn't do nearly as good a job.

Enquiring minds want to know the name of said pony.

I have at least seven people who read my blog. I wrote a post directing them to come here and donate. I hope they do.

As I write, it's 9:15 pm. I am not seeing a flood of people saying that they have given. I hope that is because they are too modest to boast.

BTW, Susan linked me to a more recent picture of you from Liz's site. But me, I'd like to see the mini-Dawdys on their mini pony!

I gave Dano- twice. Once for me- and one small small one for the office cats by my cat.

I too am waiting with baited breath for the appearance of little
Dawdys!!!

Or any other pictures that Philip wants to post. Seeing them is better than chocolate??
