Update: These two auction items featuring a lady lovely in body and spirit didn't quite reach their reserve bids. Reserve has been lowered, and they are up for a 24-hour auction (ending c. 0915 Tuesday). Reach the auction by clicking a picture. - FbL [The rest of this post is by John.]
Well, we clearly had eyes bigger than your collective wallets this year... you do realize that means we'll just be coming back at you quicker than we would have otherwise, right?
But we'll leave you alone until after Christmas, and your recovery from that. Probably in time for... tax day. Hmmm, yeah, send us your refunds!
But right now, after apparently hunting down and mugging some rich former Marine, the Marines are ahead in the fundraising competition. Oh yeah, did they mug a rich one. A $10K single donation. To insure a Marine win. Okay - so, where's my rich Army brother who will stand up? Heh, if PVIT is lucky... maybe that will cause the Marine's SugarDaddy to pony up more - yeah, that's it - get two money-hippos in a bidding war!
The AF and Navy are out of contention (unless they, too, mug someone rich) so why don't you all just reach deep and pony up just a little more for the Army team? And what is it with you Flyboys? All that flight pay, and the Air Force has never been a serious contender in the competition. Selfish selfish!
As Project Valour-IT Founder Major Chuck Ziegenfuss, the wounded blogger who gave up a finger, most of the use of both thumbs, and literally gave his left *** to the cause says, "I can't wait to give that feeling to another wounded soldier." Not the left ***, the ability to reconnect to their lives in ways you and I take for granted. Please help him do that. In case you missed it on Saturday - here's a post where the very real positive impacts of Project Valour-IT are laid out.
So, please, donate here.
Oh, and since *someone* fibbed about the size of a donation - which caused my match to be 50 times oversized... I'm going to make-up that shortfall and then double it today. Besides, I need the tax deduction this year. I just checked with my CPA. So I'm putting my money where my mouth is, to a four-figure tune. How 'bout you, if you can afford it?
