Hey Everybody, Time to Pay Attention

Ages ago it was suggested (By somebody other than JtC) that somebody else, specifically moi, post periodic fundraisers for the site. So. My calendar says it is time for me to do so.

If you have some spare change, consider tossing some into the pot to help pay to keep the place running. In the upper left there is a yellow oval that says "Donate" and a click on that will start the process for most. Fpr those that can't fit into that shoe, slightly below it is a link entitled "Donation Info" - try that.

I thank you and Johnny thanks you.

That said, back to whatever you were up to when you decided to read this.

be well and have a good one

I'll be brutally honest.

C99 is perilously close to being in the red. It's the monthly recurring donations that keep c99 solvent, but just barely. Since the covid outbreak 3 years ago and because of the financial situation we've had many monthly donation cancellations. I don't blame anyone for that. A few more more smaller cancellations or one or two larger ones c99 will be insolvent.

There's no need for me to do a financial risk/reward analysis, from my stand point there is no longer any reward, it's all risk. I basically, for the most part, do everything pro bono at this point.

It pains me to have to say this, but it's the truth of the matter.

A lot of sweat and love goes into this place. Do what I can, but sounds not enough.
Always seems there is more at stake than issues and ideas.
Thanks for bringing this forward.

if I have nothing but a German account (in Euros) with a debit card , I would donate. But somehow I am too stupid to understand how to do that.

Things never seemed to change.

Good luck JtC and thanks for all you have done. But never work without getting paid appropriately.

This isn't a place where slave labor should be honored.

Thanks for all you do Johnny. And you too EL.

Hi all, I am moving to a different studio and got the keys Monday. My cubbard is bare until June 3rd and then I will be fully subsidized. Woot! lol And so then I will also have some extra dollars every month to send JtC a digital copy if he wants to keep the site going. I hope so. I am here almost every day reading y'all with great pleaseure, but this week got real busy. Fatigue sets in early nowadays.

As far as the FC (fucking cancer) goes, yes. My back is still fucking killing me, ar ar ar! It is a riot. I have the titanium spine, so I quit wearing my back brace and use a rollator to get around town and down to the river. The Russian River. heh I can't make dirt but I can still walk! I can get down to pull weeds! And get back up again! Exclamation point! I am happy I can still dance a little. yippee Thank goodness for opiods, and cannabis too. My hospice team rocks. Oy, the stories I could tell. Mmph, I have even more opinions then before if you can believe it. Smile Every one have a splendid day today, and tomorrow too why not?

Peace and Love

So good to hear from you. Sorry to hear that your back is still bothering you. But glad that you are still getting out with help from the rollator which I have no idea what it is…little help?

And kudos for getting an apartment and financial help with it. Going to say it’s about time that you did. Once you get settled I hope that we see more of you here.

Take care…snoop and not snoopo.

@snoopydawg hi, here's a photo looking down on my new ride, cup holder included Smile

riverrollator.jpg
and the earworm goes something like...

if you come down to the river
bet you gonna find some people who live
you don't have to worry if you have no money
people on the river are happy to give
big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
rollate, rollate, rollate on the river

CCR 1969 Version

My rasta friend jokes that I have taken it "where no rollator has gone before", lol. She has dreadlocks down to her ass, and we hang out on the river as much as possible. Last time we saw two bald eagles soaring with the turkey vultures, they are a sight to behold. right on.

Say hi to Sam for me. I love reading your posts and analysis whenever I can :). Thanks!

Peace and Love

There are times when my brain can’t come up with the image for a word. I haven’t graduated to a rollator yet, but spending more time with my cane. Damn backs for causing so much trouble! Ahh well I’m at least semi mobile and that’s better than the alternative.

Sam says hello back atcha! She’s come out of the funk she was in last week and is back to annoying me every 5 minutes asking if we’re going for our walk yet? I gotta get her a watch.

Good news about the apartment and the subsidy. Good news about your hospice team too. Glad you can get around. Say hi to the RR for me, haven't been down close to it in a few years now. Keep on dancing as somebody The Gentrys used to say.

Hang in there and have a good one
