I think someone has to submit an obituary, don't they?
Yes to the thread, no to the voting for thread, and any kind of charity that does good will be fine, I think. We'll be doing good in Gus's name either way.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Yes. And they're actually not cheap.
I prefer Heifer, but I'm hoping kimi will weigh in before we get there anyway.
I'm really grateful she found her way here to let us know - I've thought about that in my more morbid moments in the past. Though by now my sister, and possibly my father (if he could translate "your Buffy people" into here) would know where to go and know how important it would be to me to do so.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
StY knows. I made sure.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Greg knows too, as does Nick.

Deena, I was so chuffed to see "Spawn1" on the old Natter stats David posted. Heh. I'd forgotten you actually dragged him into posting for a while.

Yeah, I think about that sometimes. It was fun. He's planning to tour in the spring, and their recording their first CD right now. They have a sponsorship from Sam Ash.
I didn't know it costs money to put in an obit. That seems wrong.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I hope so too.
I think I said "Oxfam" because of a pop-up. And not remembering Heiffer at the moment. We'll find something nice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Heifer is very expensive compared to Oxfam ($500 per cow vs $75), but since both are symbolic donations (nobody gets an actual cow), I'm not sure it's a valid comparison. Both sound good to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. I thought Oxfam wasn't symbolic.
When I won $100 from Gus in a silly bet, it went to Heifer, FWIW. But who knows.

Heifer is a client of ours, so I know a lot more about their mission and internal workings than other charities. I wouldn't say I have actual objections to Oxfam (unlike United Way, or some other biggies).
