10. We had some rain last night...
But today it cleared out and was lovely!

There were some huge waves that were left over from the storm!

6. Not broke, but bank-account-lacking.
That being said, I can do without a star.

I'm glad you got one, though! CalPeggy is awesome!

8. I kind of had to
when I came back to DU after my self-imposed exile. Didn't have the money, but a DU'er was kind enough to donate on my behalf. You know you who are! :)

9. I'm good through 11/11, and by then we'll have had a payday, so
it's all good here :-)
But I know how you feel; I took a bunch of family jewelry and some fishing lures to the antique show at the mall in town yesterday so I'd have money for gas to get to work this week.
Hope things start looking up for you!!

13. Props to CAPeggy.
My star was bought for me as well, by a fantastic DUer that I love dearly.

14. Anyone who posts on here without a star ... had better watch out.
Especially if I recognize the username.

Thank you GE Money Bank!

Mark.

16. actually a star is amongst the least of my worries
This weekend I went around music stores selling cds from my collection in order to make the rent and I'm happy that I succeeded. Sold about 500 which should also help with my electric bill also. If I find myself still unemployed next month I have about 1000 left to sell but I don't want to do that. And if I find myself locked out here Tuesday, well I guess I'll just have to go to dailykos or tpm or somewhere else.

19. Only way you'll get locked out Tuesday ...
... is if a) your internet connection goes down b) 0DU's does or c) something inbetween.

Mark.

17. This thread was a great reminder for me to donate. I had a tiny bit in my paypal account..
3 of my books sold recently, and I used the royalties to donate.
