Hi - my March fundraiser only has a few days left, and once again I have not pushed it the way I meant to. It’s been a month, but then isn’t it always? If you got your stimulus and don’t need all of it for essentials, or just have a little extra room in your budget, please consider kicking in at least $5-10. My parents gave us kids some of their stimulus so I have pledged $90. We do have a $300 match, and I hope to raise $1000 total this month.

Hi everyone, Amyth left me some sentimental items to share with this community.

She bestowed a few pieces of lovely fun costume jewelry, and a few of Scola’s framed works. I hope to have enough keepsakes to send to any of you who would like a memento. You’ll be happy to know that The Corset is finding a perfect new home with Vortex.

I was going to take some photos next week of the jewelry and prints and post them to the FB page, but not everyone has an account there. So instead I’m taking a different approach. Please email me (profile addy good) if you would like to be considered for a memento. Please don’t reply to me on the board because I’m thousands of posts behind in the threads and won’t see it.

I’ll post same to FB page, and then be able to match items based on interest that way.

ETA: just realized it’s probably a good idea to put some sort of time constraint on this! Please email me by Monday April 19. Thanks!

Very gentle reminder to email me today if you’d like a memento of Amyth’s.

My father is in the hospital (I jokingly said last night that it was about the only reason he'd miss our weekly call, and I have never been more sorry to be right); he was able to text me this morning from his wife's phone, and actually apologized for missing the call OMG why are we like this

Dad has metastatic prostate cancer. His scans last week were good, but.

Hey! If any Buffistas would like a complete box set of Supernatural on BluRay, hit me up!

[In case I wasn't clear, I am offering these for free / postage. DH was sent them as swag, I'm just trying to pass them onto a good home!]

My dad has had a stroke; his friend is taking him to the hospital. I am taking a red eye to Florida tonight. Any -ma you could spare would be appreciated.

My procedure (lumpectomy) went well but it was an all day affair. My cousin came up to stay with me & I am resting in the Airbnb were staying at while she goes out & gets supplies.

Pix lots of ~ma to you and your dad.

In the 4 days I've been gone 2 of the sales team managers have put in their notice. I was told one was offered more money...like more than sbe would would making at the new job ...and she turned it down..

They are being overworked. They are salaried and to keep the store looking to the standards the new manager wants They have been working until midnight some nights.

I know my assistant manager has been working 12-14 hr days , several days in a row.

The standards are high for regual staffing and nearly impossible for current staffing.

Plus he has wanted more people on the weekends so Monday-Thursday we are severely understaffed .

Tomorrow we are heading to Florida to visit Gary's dad and stepmom. My access to the internet will be limited, so I won't be on the board for a few days. We return on Wednesday.
