PM me next time you do something like this and I will send a little something to you via pay/pal. You know I'm a sucker for the critters. I had two feral cats neutered a couple of weeks ago in my never ending effort to stabilize the colony at one of the hospitals where I work.
@Jules. We are ALL wonderful and now my head is so swelled I am having problems getting through the door.

The inclusion of the sixth grader and her friend are a credit to her mother. We adults literally kept looking over their shoulders to use their art ideas.

I have never taken any marketing or psych classes. I can't draw a straight line nor do I have much in the way of "follow through." I cannot sew and make a lousy leader.

I am a classic underachiever, the baby of a family who had the poor misfortune to be a youngest child with four uber successful siblings. One of my siblings is a mensa genius, he was able to figure out the concept of multiplying at the tender age of five from getting a slide rule in a box of cracker jacks.

But with all this said, I am a humanitarian by nature and the Jewish philosophy of making the world I live in better because there is nothing else when I die has always created a desire to do good things today, never waiting until tomorrow because

1. tomorrow never comes
2. and there is not guarantee I will see another moment in time. MS has really brought that reality home to roost in that I had planned for a different reality of running a marathon, dancing at my children's weddings.

I stick with what is simple and doable.

Yeesh! Now my head can fit through the doorway again!

re paypal donation. Great idea! Give a small amount to your local shelter. If there is a spot for "in honor of," you can put my name or the name of my son or your name or even your own! That would be awesome!
