MizzButterfly Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 El Diablo strongly suggested that I donate to this very worthy cause and of course I agreed! (Actually he threatened to fire me if I didn't!!! ) Since he is the boss I told him to count me in for the donation, but I am going to pass on the drawing since I already own two of his wonderful hiking staffs.

+Pobre Rico Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Last night I was all ready to send a check for $58 to celebrate the Cubs first trip to the World Series in 58 years. Then came Florida's 8-run inning... So, I decided to wait 'til tonight to make my donation to coincide with the Cubs' victory. But, alas, the curse of the goat prevailed! Well, as I've said over and over and over and over and over again. JUST WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR! So, my check is in the mail for $60! That's to celebrate Chicago's first trip to the World Series in 59 years in 2004! ...with an extra buck just in case it takes them another year... Go, Cubs! ~~~In my world, nothing ever goes wrong!~~~ Quote

+JMBella Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Sorry about them Cubs. I would have loved to see a Yankees vs. Cubs WS. That's asuming the 'Curse of the Babino' is still in effect. I'm willing to bet that the Red Sox can't win 2 games in a row at Yankee Stadium. And to keep this post on topic, I'll buy 20 more chances if they do. That's another $100 if the Red Sox beat the Yankees tonight. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Because now I am Lost. Quote

Mine is Goofy. I'm sort of in a quandary about him thou...He looks like a dog (has the ears and snout) but he wears a hat, talks and drives a car. Is he a dog or a human? Pluto, on the other hand (to the best of my knowledge) has never spoke, drove a car and generally never wears hats! What's up with that? Jackie, Help me out! Please quell the Goofy question once and for all! I know that you’re "tight" with them and they will answer any question's you might have. Will you please ask this question for me?

Spzzmoose, As to your question about my grandaughter Jackie. She has been having a rough time of it lately. She has just gotten out of the hospital for the umptenth time, and is looking forward to next week when she will recieve her wish. Her trip to Disney will be part of her 8th birthday. I will pass on the question about Goofey to her. Thanks for asking about her. We are now up to 425.00 and I'm still expecting checks. You guys are great! We need to get the word outside of the fourms. If you belong to a caching organization pass them the word. MiGO has it on their fron page (Thanks so much guys.). You might even post a link from your exsisting caches. Email friends...cachers and non cachers. I would love to make this a 1000.00 staff. I also wanted to say thanks to sept1c_tank.

If the pledges that have been made come through we will be well over 500.00 This raffle has now been cross posted to many other websites and I see no reason to keep it active here on the fourms. Therefore I'm going to request that it be closed. Groundspeak has been kind enough to let it run its course, for which I'm very thankful. I've put them in a spot that I really shouldn't have. You can imagine if everyone wanted to do something for chairity here...the first 50 threads would be just for that, and this isn't what these fourms are intended for. Thanks again for your support and for bumping this to the top to keep it in the limelight. Your donations will go a long way to bring a little light in childs life. Keep spreading the word.
