Oh, flea and Jesse - I'd love to know if such a database exists.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

A chance at social media blogging, etc., for Amazon romances just got tossed at me. Please send all the ~ma you can spare! This would be *perfect* for me.
Oh, much luck, Amy!
I'm wondering now (that it is too late) whether I should have worn a suit for this dinner-with-potential-employer-and-coworkers tonight. It's at the most conspicuously consumptive steakhouse in town, and I'm worrying if my nice wool slacks, top, and cashmere sweater are too casual. Too late now, I guess.

Suela, are your shoes fabulous?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Amy!!!
Jesse, professional question. Is there a database of individual philanthropic givers, and if so, is it something a member of the public could access? My Googling is only getting me lists of the top 50; my patron wants, for example, to be able to search for philanthropists who support veterans' organizations, and doesn't care if they're gazillionaires.
That's not quite my field, but I don't think there is, actually. This is why prospect research is a huge field! The easiest way to back that information out is via annual reports of veterans' organizations.

Not... really? It's raining here and I have to walk a bit. I'm wearing a good pair of heels, though, kind of like these: [link]
But in black, and with different detailing. They look great with slacks, and are still comfortable enough to walk in.

Thanks. I thought there might not be. I mean, we know a lot about Foundation grants because they are disclosed on tax forms (go team 990-PF), but individual giving can be as private as an individual wants, so how would anyone collect anything comprehensive!?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Good luck, Amy! That would be great for you!
flea, your name popped up in the Northside weekly newsletter of events and stuff, for the workshop you did on Monday. (I know it was downtown, but the workshop still made it into the newsletter. The library puts a lot of stuff in there.) I was skimming through it and did a double-take. You're famous in Northside! (Well, okay, your workshop was listed in an email newsletter. But still!)
