I guess taking a hint from a link to the Dallas newspaper that Bob Dole posted in one of the threads, we could start a group that could be named The 37 Foundation in honor of Joe Delany and Lamar Hunt (37 was the number he wore). We could find 37 guys who would commit time and effort to spearhead charitable donations that would be administered in KC by a trustworthy planeteer. Just a though to ponder..... mmaddog ******* |
Maybe its the season
that brings from me the good Helping those who need it Feels nice because it should. I know its not a poop thread This from the Keyboard of doom your schedule might be busy but you can make some room. You've got some money in your pocket without it you won't feel the sting Get off your ass and use it There's still time to do the right thing. |
It's that time of year again!
Bob Dole was going to start his drive-thru tradition at breakfast today, but there was nobody there. |
Our annual school delivery was made yesterday.
Good show Bobdole. I'm traveling more, and will partake in the drive-through gesture each visit through Christmas. With Shotgun deer season this weekend, we'll soon be dehydrating jerky, some of which will be sent overseas prior to Christmas. |
If someone wanted to start a "fund" or what have you from the planet, all we would need is one person who wanted to collect the money, and then disburse it to whatever need it was going to be used for. I think some would be suprised at how many of the members would give. I would give to a "CP Christmas fund", to help some people out, but you always need someone to start it, and seeing as im not in your state and most people don't know me, it wouldn't go over to well if I started it.

This needs to be a sticky every year, IMO. Tis the season to be Jolly.

Thanks for posting the original topic! |
Tonight, an Ice Storm is pillaging the areas in which many of us live. This will put many people in danger or at least severely burden them.
This, my friends is an opportunity to do the right thing. Tonight, more likely tomorrow, our friends and neighbors are going to need some help. Last spring, a similar storm started in the area in which we lived, 200 miles from family, and a young child with pneumonia, rsv and ear infection. We lost power for what turned into 3 nights and 4 cold, miserable days. I swalled my pride, for the good of my family and accepted some help from a gracious neighbor. I'll never forget their kindness. Check on those old folks who won't be able to get out, use that 4x4 to get supplies if needed...offer a hand, or if appropriate your home. This situation provides an opportunity to do the right thing. |
I generally try to do the right thing. I'd like to acknowledge that it's coming back to me now. My business is blowing up beyond belief. People actually TIP me - a home contractor. I was tipped $40 on a $2000 job by a firefighter today and $50 on a $50 bill from some local folks who were experiencing some serious leakage through a window due to an ice dam on their roof and some shoddy patchwork which had been done in the past. When I told the lady $50 she scoffed and told me she was writing the check for whatever she wanted. Heh. $90 tip in one day - to a contractor. Heh heh. Awesome.
It comes back. It might not be tomorrow, next week, next year or even next decade but it will come back and it's coming back for me. |
A fortune teller?
Once again, I found my home without heat and power as temperatures plunged. Once again, I found myself in need of a little help, and with more than ample opportunity to help others in worse shape. I'm glad you're finally getting some of yours back phildo. |
CBS Evening News just reported that Secret Santa lives on!
An unknown guy who was a friend of Larry's is carrying on the tradition, branching outside of KC, and intends to give away $75k each year as long as the money holds out. |

It doesn't look like the video is there yet, but they've added the story since Bob Dole posted. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n3621324.shtml |
It looks like we've found a family to adopt. The lady is living in a one bedroom apartment with her MIL, husband, 5 yo, 3 yo, and 6 mo. We're short on cash but long on toys and clothes. I think it's going to be an incredible learning experience for Reese. Hopefully we've found a worthy family. We're going out to meet with them tomorrow.
