[Generic Other]

If you notice the stupid deadline of the auction 11:11:59 PM
you may wonder why the odd time. I meant to end the auction before the stroke of midnight just like Cinderella's curfew. Let's just call me number challenged.

I have no control over the rules of the game once set. I feel obligated to run a more clean auction than Flordia or Ohio run elections! For this reason, at 11:11:59 PM Eastern time (otherwise known as Generic Other time), the gavel must fall or Generic Other turns into a pumpkin.

My organizational skills could probably qualify me to run FEMA but little else.

Sorry you didn't hear about the auction in time. I was so grateful to Skinner for letting us pin this thread to the top in GD that I didn't want to be making a pest of myself plaguing other forums. I hope you will tell folks in GDpolitics to come on over!!

We are happy to take pledges, though. You can pledge to make a contribution to the cause.

We have so many DUers whose lives have been disrupted by the hurricane. The rest of us all know that a disaster of such dimensions in our areas of the country would leave most of us with very little to start over with, especially when the government's response is so pathetic.

We have to help each other if we can.

Please tell the folks in the GD/politics forum to come visit.
