Oh, the agony!

That man just remembered that he forgot to donate to my fundraiser that I'm having to raise money for a new pair of glasses with scratch resistant lenses. He's distraught over the fact that he could have donated any amount and that a $25 or more donation gets you four of my handmade art cards. Don't be like him. Don't suffer with the guilt and it's subsequent agony. Donate today. Here's how:

Bummer

Thanks to some wannabe thieving asswipe my old computer had to be put to rest and a new computer had to be purchased yesterday evening. My old computer had been infected with some kind of worm/virus that I inadvertently downloaded. It looked like one of those warning thingys you get from time to time from Microsoft but instead of being a nice note telling me that I needed to download the latest Windows related security fix, it was a malware/trojan horse bad news virus that was made to steal passwords, credit card data, and other nefarious shit.

This nastiness took full bloom yesterday evening and it wouldn't let me open any program that didn't have something to do with the internet, which meant that I couldn't get into any of the thousands of images I've scanned or the thousands of photos I've taken, or anything else. So I went and bought a new PC, which sucked because I really didn't want to have to spend that much money in one lump sum, especially this time of year. And it doubly sucks because I am on Social Security Disability which is an incredibly fixed income.

Which leads me to this: I'm going to do a fund raiser here on the blog. You'll notice in the upper left I put a Paypal button and if you are so inclined you can donate to help me defray the cost of the new computer. I know things are tough economically for many of you but if you can spare $5, $10, $15, etc, then I'd appreciate it. Any help you want to give me is much appreciated. And if by some miracle in the next few days, I raise the all the money I laid out on this new computer ($325), then I'll give what ever is left over to charity.

Any help you may want to give is much appreciated. And thanks again to all of you who read this and my other blogs.
