Kathy W., Nov 4, 2009, 10:24PM ESTI thank you. I love the site, "Donors Choose" and plan to sponsor this (very worthy) program at work, starting tomorrow. I have signed up to donate to the schools in my city, and am in a position to offer the corporate "matching program." So, I am excited again about helping education.
So, from the bottom of my (bleeding) heart? Thanx.
Blessings to you.

Mark Jepsen, Nov 2, 2009, 9:03PM ESTHey John,
Sorry I've been away so much. This might help explain...
Mass ping: I have lost my internet tubes. My danged neighbor moved out and took their WiFi with them, without saying a word! If I knew who it was I'd give them a piece of my mind!
p.s. Hope you're good! -

Sarah A. (I KANZ B UH RITUR!!!!) , YEZ!!, Oct 24, 2009, 2:19AM EDTSorry I was so snappish. I'm struggling with the ol' black dog these days, and trying not to let it spill out into Gather - but not always succeeding.
