A bloggy birthday: leave a comment, save the world...


This blog is one year old today...
thanks so much for reading,
and stay tuned for more!

To thank all of you for reading, and participating with your comments, for every comment attached to this post today and tomorrow (Aug 17 and 18), I will donate $1 to Doctors Without Borders' Emergency Relief Fund.

For every new follower I will donate $2 to Doctors Without Borders.

Geez, I'm asking for money. And paying for it now. Does that make me a whore? Or a john? My grandfather would be so proud!

C'mon, show the love and leave a comment...
it's time to raid Alfie's piggy bank!

Blimey! It's been a year already? Congratulations! There's nowt wrong with being a whore with a heart ;-)

Congratulations and what a thoughtful idea!

I don't think I've heard charity compared to prostitution before, but I bet it fits more then we'd care to admit. Since you're not making a career of it, let's just call it a pity-f***

Princess said...

Great idea! And if asking for money on your blog is akin to whoredom, then I am a trollop indeed....

Isn't blogging all about being a whore? Following, commenting--there's my good deed for the week!

I am promoting an awareness campaign for the rights of gay people. Gays should be respected, not neglected, not abused, and free of will to do things that most normal people do. We should support this campaign and let this spread to other people.

Post 6 - I am a little disappointed that no one is joining me in running up the total. It is for a good cause

Post 7 - Never make promises that can cost you a fortune unless you have one to lose.

Happy Anniversary!! I've been meaning to come check out your site for like the past two weeks- but being out of town got the best of me.

Doctors without Borders is one of my all time fav NGO's. I know, it's sort of weird to have 'fav' NGO's. Someday, I will work for them.

I'm adding you to my reader, so that counts as following, so you might want to add $3 to the fund! :)

That is an excellent idea! Why is it always John? It must suck to have that name. Oh, right, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

While K may not appreciate me encouraging you to spend your money on things other than him and his pink - er - magenta credit card, it's for a good cause. Heehee. Happy first blog-birthday. Still enjoying the interesting posts.

I'm so sorry I'm late. Happy Blogoversary, my friend. I'm so glad we connected in this giant place called the Internet. I love your humor. I love your politics. I totally love you. (But not in a creepy Mrs. Robinson way.)

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Thanks, dudes and dudettes, and Jeffy, who has known me since we were like 12 and is now trying to cost me moeny big time!

I love the fun and creativity of this blog, and apprecaite every reader so much, and am happy to make this donation: 52 comments here, a few about my blog-aversary on other posts, and 3 new readers including feeds. So that is $61.

I am gonna raid Alfie's nonexistent piggy bank and round it up to $75 for Doctors Without Borders. And buy the little furball a treat!
