That's really cool. Have our buffista public school teachers registered projects with donors choose? 'Cause they totally should. I don't qualify because I only work with one public school and I'm not employed by them.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Punishingly Intricate
Such a great idea! I forwarded information to all the teachers I know around the country.

Liese, now that I'm out of the classroom, I can't register a proposal. K did but it is "under review" and I fear all of the challenges will be over BEFORE it gets posted.

The status is NOT quo.
I can't either since I'm no longer in the public schools, but I'm so very happy that this program exists.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
If it doesn't end up on Sars' list, I'll blog about it, and maybe we can ask Jilli to do so as well at GCS.
It's so awesome that we have connections.

Just let me know when. Do you want me to mention it in the next GCS column that I should be writing, oh, tonight?

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I seem to recall this thread being beagle-friendly somehow. This beagle-centric item has been making its way around local fannish circles lately:
Alza Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson Company, is closing their Mountain View, CA. facility. The animal test facility has 40, 16 month old beagle puppies that need good loving homes. These dogs were NEVER tested.
If you know of anyone, a rescue or are interested in helping give these puppies homes, please contact Rick Bible at: azoulaybible@hotmail.com
The facility manager will have to put them to sleep if no homes are found by OCTOBER 15TH!!
Thanks for your help!!!

Aww, beagles. Seabiscuit claims he needs a puppy, and what with the tragedy of us depriving him of his natural ability to meet such a need, we should feel obligated to provide him with one. We keep telling him that he's very expensive and just as soon as he starts earning his keep, we'll let him have a puppy. He counters that were it not for his extensive abilities as a guard dog, we would have by now been inundated by ill-meaning robbers, drunk hitchhikers, pedestrians with strollers, and squirrels, and therefore he has already earned his keep several times over. We are at an impasse.
All of which is to say, aww, beagles.
And also, aww, charity.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Alza Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson Company, is closing their Mountain View, CA. facility.
It's criminal the company isn't finding them homes. Wait, I guess they were potential test animals so it's not like the company was ever trying to be good guys. Boo to them.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I want a beagle! Unfortunately my springer spaniel does not. I sent email to the three people I know in SoCal who don't already read b.org. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the wee beasties.
edit: I love that my mom swears in acronyms. She wrote back "HFC that's not a lot of time!" I'm hoping she can spread the word among her retirement community.
