My Mom passed away at 9:29PM, on January 20, 2011. My Dad was holding her hand and telling her that we loved her. Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers.

Guys, my friend's Suzi'z friend has a little boy with terminal brain cancer. His family is seeking cards from around the country and world for an early Valentine's Day.

I know we have Buffistas from all over. If you are so inclined, could you spare a few moments to send a card from wherever you are. It would be a last surprise to a little boy who will never get to see these places.
Thanks.

Hello folks! Jesse inspired me to put up another DonorsChoose grant. If you text 'possible' to 77177 then Waiting for Superman will give you a $15 gift card which you can apply to any Donors Choose project of your choice (you will be subscribed to their text blast, but you can immediately unsub after). If you get a code, please consider applying it to my project. [link] If I can get 29 more people to text and then get codes and apply them to my project, I can have it fully funded. If you have time and text energy and wouldn't mind supporting us, I'd be super appreciative! Thanks!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Some ~~~~ma for my sister and her family, please. Her MiL passed away last night, very unexpectedly, of what they think is a heart attack. My BiL lost his dad just a few years ago, so he's pretty torn up.
Thanks so much everyone.

Just poking again...The Lower Ninth Ward Village is starting to move up in the rankings and I just found out that we need to crack the Top 100 in order to move forward- and we've moved to ranking #174! I know that we can move further and further up with Buffista power! Here's my first blurb from upthread with link...
The organization that I (and smonster) work with in the Lower Ninth Ward is up for a $250K Pepsi Refresh Grant. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference it would make to The Village and to the community. I am hoping that daily Buffista voting power might propel it to the top!
Vote here every day... [link]
And thanks!

My grandmother died this morning. She'd been in pain for a long time, and now she's not. Please with me luck in herding problematic relatives away from my mom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wonderful Buffistas! The Lower Ninth Village has moved nearly THIRTY places in the rankings, and I'm willing to bet you had a lot to do with it. Voting ends January 31st, and we just need to move up about thirty more to move on. I think we can do it! Please keep voting. [link]

Will probably be going greyish for a bit in the new gig, as I get my legs under me. The head of IT is an old friend, so I shouldn't be grey for long. If anyone needs me (or says something particularly clever) profile addy is good.

All is well that ends in pizza.
