The honkers are on the naked sledding hill. I wonder if they wanted to give it a go, and I scared them away.

We have a round grill that fits over it, too, for grilling up veggies.

Thank you!!!!!!!!

You are the beautiful people, you know that, right???
My friend has her juice back on!
So many of you helped, I would like to thank each and every one of you! THANK YOU!
I know there must be people out there reading this, have aided, who haven't commented, because you are like that.
I don't know who you are, but you know who you are. You all deserve a big warm hug!
You all have made a difference in someone's life. That is huge! Do you realize HOW HUGE that is? To bring a ray of hope to one person, let alone a whole family of people; HUGE! Your generosity of money and spirit has blown me away. And my friend too. She is grateful and speechless.
A word about my friend, in order to do this for her, (to get her permission) I guaranteed her anonymity. (Many of you do know her, she's a lover, she is a fighter, she is a dooer of good deeds; an all round kick ass human being.) She was really very reluctant when I approached her about doing this. For those of you who haven't experienced poverty, (and I'm not talking "broke" as in, 'We only have $100, $1000, or whatever in the bank'...'We won't be able to buy a Wii, or a new car' ...I'm talking, "I don't know where my next meal is going to come from") I can and will tell you first hand, there is alot of shame around being poor, genuinely without money. So, while I was a bit sad that she didn't come forth with information about her situation sooner, I totally get why she didn't. I totally understand her apprehension of taking something from people she may or may not know. I get that, and I know many of you do too.
Sadly, her situation is not uncommon. It is such a travesty that in our day and age, in this country, that apparently has billions upon billions of dollars to squander on blowing the shit out of another country, we can't take care of our fellow human beings & neighbors. It stings like a SOB. Take NOLA for example. It makes my blood fucking boil. Classism, racism, and greed are still driving forces here in these united states. United my ass. United by profit, perhaps.
But, you, YOU are the beautiful people. By hitting that donate button, you staged a revolution. By thinking good thoughts for this family, you changed the world.
Alone, we make drops in the bucket; together we build a well. Being an agent for change is a remarkable thing. You all are my heroes. Especially, you, who only had 5.05 in your paypal account, but you gave 5. You fucking blow me away.
I will ask some of you one more favor. Even if you don't like me, and skimmed past my plea for helping these folx out. Next time you are at the store, please pick up some extra non-perishable food item; and I'm not talkin about the generic cocoa puffs, but something healthy and nutritions; and drop it off at your local food shelf. You can skip your fancy bottle of wine for this week. It won't kill you.
I know I'm coming off very ranty. The epidemic of poverty is so outstanding that it warrants my passions being flared. When you are poor, it is easy to feel forgotten about, easy to loose hope. Let us try to spread hope to our neighbors today, tomorrow, and next month. Remember, there are still people in NOLA who don't have a pot to piss in. There might be people in your town like that too.

I would also like to thank everyone who has bid on the auction! (and an extra thank you for those of you who are helping spread the word about it!) It is currently exceeding my expectations! (KICK ASS!) And the winning bidder will get what they paid for, if you know what I mean.

Finally, thank you for listening to me, helping, loving, and being as outraged at the man as I am. You all are remarkable souls, and I'm grateful that I have come to find you in my life.

XO!

Thank you! + another plea.

My friend is still short on meeting the rest of the balance on her electric bill.
She will be leaving work soon & won't be able to check her paypal once she gets home.
I would love it if we could make this happen for them.

Spread the word, okay?
Send love, good thoughts Work your mojo!

To all of you who have sent love, money, good thoughts, mojo, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you!
Two hours!! We have two hours to try to get this done!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-04-25T14:14:10Z

I want to thank everyone who gave energy to my friend, be it green energy, or pink and full of love.
When you are in that situation, knowing that people care, makes it less bleak and dark. (no pun intended.)
If you haven't guessed, this woman means the world to me. Without her, being my friend for nearly the past six years, my life as I know it would be vastly different.
To try to get the remainder raised, I've set up an ebay auction. Please bid early and often & Pass it along!!
Sing it from the rooftops!

4 oz of "Sugar Shack"

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you!!!
(and you can still make a donation)

XO!

A mama in need

2007-04-24T17:51:12Z

Hey Mamas! (or even non mamas who care to help)

There is a mama who needs our help. This wonderful woman recently fell on some hard times, and her electricity was shut off. What sucks, is they want a HUGE chunk of change out of her. Pisser is, she has the majority of it, but they won't work with her in the least. They want the whole thing.
Alone, none of us would be able to help get her juice back on, but if we banded together, we could make a difference.
She in no way deserves this crap, she has a full time job, two kiddos, she busts her ass.
She is always willing to help anyone out, and probably has helped some of you who are reading this..
My point is, living without electricity, when you aren't set up to do so (composting toilets, for example) is really hard.
The logistics are staggering. The cost of ice alone to keep your food from growing bacteria can blow a hole straight thru your food budget. Having lived without electricity for a good chunk of time, I can tell you it isn't pretty.
Hello, running water????

Anyway, please help a mama out, if you can.
You can send green energy via the donate button.
And if you are unable to do that, send tons of good vibes her way.

XO!
