It would seem some anonymous benefactor gifted me while I wasn't looking...woke up today and bam, there it is.
Fortunately I get paid today or I wouldn't be in a position to pay this forward! I could use a hand making a decision, though. Read on to help.
Part of why I moped in public the other day; my glasses broke (much) earlier this year and it's been one thing after another keeping me from replacing them. A short trip to the ER and the boggling medical bill. Probably would have been much worse without having some insurance. A car breakdown...poor old beast, still going after 12 years but the desert is good for it, if not good on car batteries. Then my fridge after xmas. Maybe next year, when my tax refund comes in.
This year, the medical bill seemed timed to hit me to gobble up my tax refund, heh. I think it was planned.
Anyway. Thanks to the power of science (superglue, that is) I am not too worried about my glasses and I am getting paid today, so after shamelessly plugging these worthy causes maybe I can get some feedback on which of them to choose. I want to spare the cash for at least one. It's a better cause than having glasses that fold.
So this was the last article about Okiciyap that I saw. And this was the last one I saw about THE LIST. And honestly...I was looking at these yesterday and thinking there's no way I can justify removing my ads over pitching in for something.
Then some sneaky Kossack took that decision off my hands, heh. :) I am as yet unfamiliar with the donation processes or PayPal and whatnot but from what I have heard, it seems easy enough. They should make it easy to give money, shouldn't they. So I plan to set something up by this afternoon or evening.
And thank you very much, to whoever or whichever collective of well-meaning sort(s) gave me this.

The latest posting on The List, which I plan to keep an eye on today.
