Hey all, Javachik and I are driving down for AmyPreble's memorial service on Saturday. We'd love to meet up with any Buffistas who are also there. Probably too tired after the drive on Friday, but we're both free after the service for lunch or whatever. (cross posted to F2F)

Our Empress posted this on FB, and I'm certain she'd want those Buffistas not on social media to know, so I'm pasting below. I see there's already a discussion in Natter about how we can help. I have her snail mail address if anyone needs it.

All right party people I have an update for you since you guys haven’t heard from me in a few days. I was mowing my lawn Thursday and I passed out and called 911 to come get me. It turns out I had a stroke and had emergency brain surgery performed Thursday evening. I’m currently in the icu up at Saint Joe’s and I will probably be here until Wednesday or Thursday. I have a nice new shiny bald head which I have to say is pretty damn sexy.
So if you need anything text I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can love you all. Emeline is a rockstar. I’ll talk to you soon. ❤️❤️❤️

Okay, here's a link to a Meal Train for Aims set up by one of her friends: [link]
You can donate cash and gift cards through that link. Also, if anyone needs her current address to send her a card, email me. She moved last year.

Mostly lurking...
I chatted with Aimee this morning, and we've also set up a Give InKind page: link.
There's a link to the meal train there as well. We'll use the Give InKind page for more gift card options and setting up help for household tasks and rides and other things she may need.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, I finally got my act together and made the FB Event. Chicago-types, this Sunday, we'll be at Maggie Daley Park ( for, lo, there is a toddler, and playgrounds are good) from about 4:30 to 6:30. FB messenger is probably the best way to get ahold of me on the day, but my current profile email will also work.

Hi All. It's my annual Please Throw an Entrepreneur a Bone request.
It's like Girl Scout cookies without the calories or the coin, and I would be grateful for your help to reach the type of people who have become my favorite clients over the years. 80% of my non-personal referrals every year. After 2020, this is the most important part of my business year.
Please help!
At this LINK, scroll down 9 ballots and click on Bonny King-Taylor. The City Paper NEVER uses your email for anything. I know the person who runs the campaign and she is solid.
ThankyouThankyouThankyou

I need the Buffistas to activate for me on twitter. Ice is up against zircon in the 2021 Mineral Cup and ice is barely holding on to its lead with 2 hours left in voting. I'm begging - please vote #IceMin for me and Yuzuru Hanyu. Vote #IceMin!
