I'm putting together a really short leaflet for an action a local group is doing to support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the tomato workers Union, in their campaign to get Wendy's to pay a penny a pound more for tomatoes and demand decent treatment for tomato workers from their suppliers. You can find out more about CIW at [link]
Anyway this leaflet is tough, cause it has to be short, it has to explain about the CIW and it has to ask people to be filmed for a short interview in support of CIW. I have a rough version and could really use some editing to make it shorter and more effective. It is not for me but for a really good cause. My profile addy is good.
Some health~ma would be appreciated for one of my cousins. She is the current matriarch of that side of the family. She had a heart attack less than 2 hours ago and is currently in transport from one hospital down to a hospital in Sacramento. They know she has a blood clot and that is about all the info I have. I'm not normally a praying person, but I'm sending as much ~ma as I can in her direction.
Please put us on the -ma rotation. My mom wants a better job, and I want some life-ma, because I don't know what I need yet.
My dude is goign to be speaking on the radio today. [link] He'll be on between 12:30-12:30pm, PST.
My cousin is improving. They inserted 3 stints and there is talk of her going home tomorrow (I think that is crazycakes). Thanks for the ~ma.
Sorry, didn't see where I was
I'm pretty sure everyone knew this, but I am now officially unemployed.
If I could have some of the patented Buffista -ma around 10:30 AM EST, I'm meeting with the mortgage specialist of my bank and will most likely find out if I'm pre-approved or not.
Releasing the -ma back out to the ether. I'm pre-approved. There may be a sticking point, but all that means is that I might need to go through another, smaller bank.
Not sure I should be this in F2F, but I was wondering if any Buffistas in Cinci or St. Louis (I THINK that's where the Buffistas I know are living between KC and Benington, IN) would be willing to put me and my husband up for the night on July 27th. We have to drive to Bennington, IN to pick our son up on the morning of the 28th from camp, and a Motel is WAy out of our budget.
If not, no big (and Steph, you are WAY TOO STRESSED.)
We are clean, polite, easy-going, clean up after ourselves, not allergic to kids or pets and will be happy to sleep on a flat place on the floor. I cook, and D washes dishes.
E-mail addy is good, and no big if people aren't able to do so because of that Life Thang. I thought I'd give it a shot.
(FYI this isn't bad planning on our part. Ex-wife is Bad Planner and assumed we'd be delighted on short notice to be ordered to drive 11 hours with no money offered on her part to drop him off at her new husband's grandparents. @@)
Thanks for even considering it!
