…begins now.
For prior services rendered.
And remember: every dollar you give will go to a guy who (it’s been argued) brooks no dissent, and who (purportedly) loves him the occasional child rape fantasy joke.
Thanks in advance.

update: One of my many many hardcore supporters writes:
The last PW fundraiser started April 7, just 2 months ago.
How many of these “quarterly†fundraisers are there going to be?
Must budget accordingly.
The first quarter fundraiser covered Jan, Feb, March. The second quarter fundraiser covers April, May, June.
Give, don’t give.
Just so long as you don’t try to get me fired from my CBS gig.
on it, Mr. Goldstein
I recently tried to give to another blogger using PayPal and it didn’t work. I thought I had PayPal figured out but apparently I don’t.
At this rate I may be reduced to sending Krugerrands by Pony Express.
“For prior services rendered.”
Man Jeff,
If you’re gonna be as twisted and unyielding as you’ve stated, shouldn’t you be getting at least some of the dough in advance?
That’s what contractors do…
Have you contacted Geitner yet to see if you’re eligible for a bailout?
With all the cash that goes to goldbricks, con artists, and non-contributors, we should find a way to funnel a guy with your talents a piece if the pie…
I mean, National Endowment for the Arts funded Robert Mapelthorpe, for cryin’ out loud…
Just don’t let Sullivan’s Yglesias Award go to your head and never ever look like this.
Q: Why did the guy having the child rape fantasy cross the road?
A: He was on his way to his writing gig at The Late Show.
I’m sure my constituents will understand us not repaving another road so we can keep the ha-ha’s coming.
I loathe paypal and you dont have amazon anymore.
I will use our usual channels.
You will find my standard contribution taped to the inside of the tank in the restroom at Tiger Kim’s Martial Arts Supply on Colfax.
Jus kiddin.
Ill mail it.
Done.
Don’t understand either the “I loathe paypal” or “it didn’t work”, I’ve used it since it started and it works for what it is supposed to do for me. An internet Western Union. YMMV and obviously does.
Just because I was once again “marginalized” on the previous thread:
In effect, Letterman is simply an infantile Troll: since when is it hypocritical to try or advocate a method of pregnancy prevention, have it fail, then not abort – according to a higher principle which then avoids preventing the existence of a person – itself something which, to my mind, is no different from snuffing out a fully-developed, legal “person”? [As my late father once asked, “why can’t they just admit it?”, indicating that then he would perhaps give them some credit, at least for recognizing the reality of the situation.]
The actual “joke” is the failure of Progressive sex-ed/birth control tactics which lead to, or at least don’t prevent, about one million “unwanted” pregnancies/yr. here in the U.S., then the oso progressively “ethical” abortions involving the “prevention” of the existence of an equal number of persons who would otherwise develop from the result of an implanted blastula[?] and its progression to a stage which requires abortion to stop it from becoming a person?
Hahahahahaha…./sarc/mock
your paypal doesn’t include a credit card option.
Ahmoan securtahze it back to the gubmint threw TALF. Win-win, yuh see.
“Just because I was once again “marginalized 
I’ve started a “pick up line” that way.
Didn’t go well.
Uh-oh.
Looks like he’s watching “Dexter” again. Not good.
Hide the kitchen cutlery.
How does the money donated get divided up? I mean, what percentage goes to you, and what percentage goes to Dan Collins and your other contributers?
“How does the money donated get divided up? I mean, what percentage goes to you, and what percentage goes to Dan Collins and your other contributers?”
Thunderdome.
All of it goes to me. Every last penny. No one else gets dime one.
The last PW fundraiser started April 7, just 2 months ago.
How many of these “quarterly” fundraisers are there going to be?
Must budget accordingly.
Jeff: “Mine! Mine, ALL MINE! BWAHAHAHahahahahahahaha!!”
‘Dillo: “Dude. Calm down. It’s five bucks.”
Fundraisers are always for prior services rendered. People forget that sometimes.
“All of it goes to me. Every last penny. No one else gets dime one.”
Careful Jeff. That is how you get the shit audited out of you by Obama’s IRS.
A question for Jeff G: Because of the public outrage and comment after the first joke, DL must have known by the time he made the Palin daughter/Sptizer joke that Willow was the daughter on the trip and that people would therefore associate her with the joke. How does that affect your view, if at all? Still ok because in his heart of hearts he meant Bristol?
One interesting thing: Palin’s comment about it being unwise to get Willow near DL had two meanings, and Palin appeared to take responsibility for both.
I’m putting this comment in this thread because I’m a PW high-roller, having once sent you $50.
The last fundraiser covered January, February, March. This one covers April, May, and June. I had planned on waiting until the first week of July, but then I became a pariah, so I figured I may as well do it while my stock is low.
Don’t let the starting dates fool you. I waited on the last one until the PJM ads were done with.
I don’t think Letterman reads blogs, CLL. The show is also taped in the afternoon, eastern time. So how much knowledge he had about who was who by the time he made the Spitzer joke (which was a Spitzer joke) has not been established with any certainty.
Must budget accordingly.
Your stupidity? Because fyi, if you have an infinite supply of something, it need not be budgeted.
and harshness.
Ed, I’d like to point out that Jeff did me a signal service at the end of April, when I much needed it, by putting up a bleg on my behalf that got my family out of a jam.
…PJM…
The name that shall not be mentioned…
Fedora non grata…
I was told there would be pie.
Re: Spitzer joke – it was a both/ and deal. The “trashy daughter enough to attract the amours of Spitzer” was part of the joke.
I both disagree with you AND will send a monee.
“How many of these “quarterly†fundraisers are there going to be?
Must budget accordingly.”
What for? Ain’t like you gotta ration your paycheck to buy buckets of rubbers at CostCo.
…or is that just me?
Damnit.
Either way, pony up.
Oooh. Harsher Sarah. Thanks.
I’m sweet like candy and boolean operators!
Tip Jar palate cleansers:
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
“Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.”
“I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.”
“The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.”
“Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”
“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.”
“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
“No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.”
ZOMBIE REAGAN!!!!
My wife is getting suspicious at seeing Protein Wisdom on our credit card statement. I don’t think she believes me anymore, that it’s a seedy, out of town strip joint.
What a pain, McGehee, seeing as how you’d have to start up the Pony Express in order to do so.
Stimulus money, I’m thinking. You’d have to buy horses, saddles, guns, etc, hire some orphans… “Shovel-ready,” as they say.
For the love of money is the root of all Evil!
Adriane’s corollary: The lack of money runs a close second.
Hi Jeff!
I’ve contributed before, but not much because I’m a poor college student; this time I can’t pony up because of layoffs in May, but I am willing to provide web/graphic services for PW if you need them.
~baxtrice
Jeff is a wonderful blogger, we need him back constantly as the Obamanation rages.
I love Jeff cuz he’s just like me. I mean, other than him being a male agnostic Jewish academic with a dirty sense of humor, and me being a female devout Catholic non-academic who has never even uttered the “F” word. Other than those few things, we are JUST ALIKE.
If money brings him back, then pay, you HEATHENS! PAY!
Shouldn’t that be “No one except the ‘dillo gets dime one (including me)?”
Rumpelminze and hookers are expensive by the gross. 8-)
“…hire some orphans…
“Shovel-ready,†as they say.”
That just NOT work for me.
9 donations to this point.
Thanks to those who’ve contributed.
who has never even uttered the “F†word
C’mon
i have to wait and talk to my better half tonight, negotiate how much i’m (we’re) sending. once i get that squared with him i’ll tip the tip jar too.
‘hit the tip jar.’ argh.
Can we make donations like this?
If a woman as genteel as Rightwingsparkle can vouch for Jeff, he can’t be a complete scoundrel — or is her endorsement just a reflection of some “schoolmarm and the outlaw” fantasy? I kid, RWS.
I’ll see if I can scratch up a pin or two…might be a few hours.
alppuccino,
I kid you not. I grew up in an age where that word was uttered by no one, much less a well raised southern woman. By the time it became fashionable, I was a mother of four. It helped that my father loathed women cussing and I adored him, so I never cussed. “hell”and “ass” is as far as I go. I find they work pretty well in any given situation.
TaiChiWawa,
I think I find the description of myself as a “schoolmarm” much more offensive than any fantasy…;-)
If I recall, the April donations were to fill the gap left by Pajamas Media and Rodger “I have a fabulous hat” Simon. But that is okay Jeff, you deserve some financial love.
I also recall my grandfather chasing me on a camping trip (in July when I was around seven) because I uttered the word “suck.” As in “that really sucks!” It was pretty comical. He was chasing me around th picnic table. I was reprieved by a whooping becuase the sky opened up and golf ball sized hail started to come down. We both had to duck for cover and I was forgiven.
Outrage! Hmmm, this appears to be a fight conservatives cannot win. Who have I heard that from before?
More outrage.
I’m thinking I could make you shirt designs that would sell on cafepress or similar. Outlaws are cool enough without the fanbase.
Oh, you’re now in the position of having to condemn just about everything that is even borderline offensive in the strongest possible terms.
Only by doing that can your OUTRAGE over a comedian’s joke be taken seriously.
Checkmate!
“Oh please Brer Fox, whatever you do, please don’t throw me into the briar patch.”
Hope my paltry donation helps.
I’m in.
But not chess I don’t think; most games between skilled players end in resignations long before the King is trapped. Sometimes even a single pawn’s difference will bring on a timely resignation…if the players are advanced enough to realize when they’re finished.
Then we start a new game.
ill square my bit away tonight.
What the hell happened to the Amazon tip jar? I’m getting a 404.
Amazon got rid of that feature, mojo. Apologies.
You should have hit me up Thursday, cause Friday there was a sale on Wild Turkey and I got hold of my wifes artificial morphene poppers. The next thing I know It’s monday morning and I’m dressed for work standing in my driveway. You’ll get it when I got it.
Well, I’m outraged about very little, but I do draw the line at attacking innocent children. I also would strenuously object to any attacks on Obamas kids, and was totally on board with leaving Chelsy out of the drama in the ’90s.
Chelsey in 2008, campaigning for her Mom, not so much. I don’t think the distinctions are that mysterious.
Lettermans defense seemed to be: “sorry about your mistaken ‘perception’, please take me out of context in divining my intent!”
Anyway Jeff, I do value your contributions to the Nation, and the concepts of individual liberty, so even though I am a California construction worker (read; unemployed mostly since Thanksgiving[thank God I learned from our friends the ant], with few prospects, and the State about to shut down, ending even unemployment insurance) I will send you a little somethin’, somethin’.
Not as much as last time, but enough to show I’m a big time fan.
My self-righteous sanctimony holds no grudge, I hope your sick sense of humor echo chamber ass don’t either! ;-)
I get outraged a lot. Right now I’m outraged and ashamed of our sick cowardly president not speaking up for brave Iranian youth as they lay bleeding in the streets for freedom. Also I am outraged that Darleen remains unaccounted for. The ruinous printing of money and our president’s headlong and purposeful navigation of little country into a third world dirty socialist laughingstock is a daily outrage that never gets better. Summer Glau got canceled again by Fox and I am outraged why because she is nice to watch is why. Also I am outraged about the lies. They are so many.
Thanks a million for including me in a comment I’m sure was aimed mostly at the squishbot. All warm and fuzzy over here.
Another blogger I read has been jobless for several months without an alternate source of income while planning a move to another part of the country without certainty of finding work there either. She was raising money for her situation and I tried to use PayPal for her. It didn’t work. I don’t know why and it’s not as if I myself am rolling in cash at the moment anyway but if I couldn’t help her I really doubt Jeff’s going to begrudge me not being able to help him either.
YMMV.
Well, so far the Stimulus Czar hasn’t asked why I need my funding in Krugerrands, so I’m hoping.
As soon as I can train ponies to swim across from the Caymans, Jeff will have his contrib.
Lies?
our president’s headlong and purposeful navigation of *our* little country… what else he’s a big yellow coward about is how he blames Bush for everything. Little dirty socialist should at least man up to a half-Hugo level of dirty socialist virility I think. And a little dirty socialist fucking pansy shall lead them was not never in no prophecy I ever heard of but lo it’s sure come to pass hasn’t it? Yes. Yes it has.
not just that, easy… here’s a fun game… try and count all the lies. It’s hard. He averages well over two per sentence, our dirty filthy lying president does.
Hah! John Ensign is such a slut he probably likes to put it to young girls at baseball games with his penis!!
I made a funnie.
McGehee. I didn’t mean it as a slam, either on you or nishi. I just didn’t truly understand. I’ve used it for internet payment since it came out, 10 years ago?, and never had any problem with it. The Amazon tip jar thing on the other hand arrrggghhh, but I never loathed them.
So I apologize. I never meant it in a hurtful way but was wanting to know the why behind the statements.
not not not in my name
What we are not anymore is America. We’re something else now.
I set up a paypal account years ago to donate to Jeff, and it was mostly easy. But then about a year later, I got an email saying my account may have been compromised, and was therefore being closed.
Well, I found that a little off-putting (though not outrageous!), and the Amazon thing, as an alternative, worked great.
Alas, that too has passed, so now I’ve found a third way…VIVA LA THIRD WAY!
Oh, this may have been a really, really boring comment…sorry.
Paypal works flawlessly for me and Mr. Goldstein always seems to receive the monies. But don’t believe their Ebay buyer protection bullshit because it’s, well, bullshit.
As for this drive, I expect to be fashionably late.
Incidentally, JD, you have asked why when proggs act boorishly, righties eat their own.
This is, I believe, requiring a two part answer.
Part one is, those on our side are bound by principal, so when a progg becomes mired in corruption, as a totally random example (wink, wink), the other proggs will rally around and defend the malfeasance, unconcerned with the underlying questions of principal, occupied as they are with only power.
The conservative will throw the offender to the wolves in the interests of consistency and the greater good.
The other part is the basic personality of the two camps members. The collectivist is a herd animal…a sheep, if you will. The conservative, or classical liberal, is a committed individualist, in the best sense of the definition and the Constitution…more like a cat than the sheep.
Ever tried to corral cats?
It can’t be done. No self respecting cat is going to do what some fuckin’ sheep dog tells them to do. Even when the sheep dog is right, the cat will give equal weight to self-determination, and go from there.
It’s a bug in the whole “of the people, for the people” thing…
The Asshole is fundraising too…
Sheesh. Twenty-four-seven community organizing.
President Bush never asked for a quarter.
How long can they keep this buried?
Oh, sorry, the link. )
lee,
On occasion I get emails, supposed to be from paypal but aren’t, saying that access to my account has been suspended. They are phishing to get your password and account access in order to tap your money. I simply forward the emails including the headers to paypal security and stick the email in the trash folder.
the memory hole:
Petraeus
Fannie Mae guy what offed himself
TARP

I think I just realized that palin can destroy the media if she so chooses.
Palladin is the answer
She started out on the right foot with her RNC speech.
geoffb, yeah, that’s sensible.
I hadn’t had a computer very long at that time though, and was pretty ignorant of the ways of the ‘net.
These days I’d rather stay under the table with my donations…I want Jeff to have plausible denyability when it comes April 15th and the dirty socialists are requiring sacrifice of the patriotic kind.
Don’t let it worry you too much, ‘feets, France is taking up the slack.
We should hang a black shroud over the Statue of Liberty until this fraud is out of office.
that’s so sick and wrong, B Moe. When Iran kills our soldiers in Iraq Barack Obama doesn’t want to meddle either. He’s a sick sick hateful fuck and I am ashamed my little country finds itself aligned with oppression. An amoral fucking loser, Barack Obama.
Barack Obama told them in his speech that it wasn’t our place to judge and now Iranian youth die screaming.
George Bush said we stand for democracy. Barack Obama says the fuck we do.
Kings hate democracy.
Seems to me that Ronnie Reagan wasn’t worried about anyone finding him to be judgemental when he came out on the side of the Solidarity movement protesters when General Jaruzelski declared marshall law and began roundin’ those muthuhs up and throwin’ them in jail…
Reagan let them have it…
http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1981/121781c.htm
He certainly didn’t pussyfoot around the issue like Obama has…
The former Soviet Union and their puppets hated democracy too…
Funny how Obama has more in common with the Soviets of the 80’s than the president that essentially broke the back of those same communists…
On the 4th day the dawn will rise brightest yet..
Where the fuck is our gandalf? Jeff I’m looking at you.
eating clams.
Palin took some shots with this exchange with Letterman, but she won the round on points and is learning. What is interesting is the left is mocking her, but also starting to underestimating her. That is a mistake.
Frankly, I have no idea if she could be a nominee. But if she can take on the MSM, that might be pretty good.
Eating clams in Colorado?
For real though I’m gonna let my extremism hang out: Panetta is a pathetic has been, our CIA is at least a third Bamby wankers and at least a third of the population will blame Bush for whatever happens in the next decade. We’re going to lose a city via the AQ Khan network rehashed and ignored by Bamby vis-a-vis the Norks-Syria-Iran-Hezzbollah-Hamas-Chavez-Castro-Mubarrak-Putin axis. It will be Irsael who let us down despite their best efforts, those brave 7 million, so will say NBC. I fear the end of America looms and following a thousand years of darkness. “Mommy what was America? O, honey. That’s just a legend.” Gird your loins.
I at least think some punk ass kid will read a conspiracy-laden book in 4500 years after those rumors about the primitive intertubes have been debunked that there once was a snarky ass kid ahead of his time who understood me. Mannn. Way.
Or worse we’re stuck in some recurrent iteration of a Kunderian/Nietzcehan universe of eternal return and ever 10,000 years civilization resets and we pass into legend, bitterly clung to be on the bounds of a Maunder Minimum.
excuse the grammar for drunkification
It is just her own private Idaho.
you can count the Steven Crowder one in Camp Goldstein definitely for sure I think.
I can’t help though but think in my head that the Steven Crowder one has his own Steven Crowdery reasons for taking a less than wholly alienating and or brutally honest tack towards our dirty socialist media. Just cause I read his IMDB page once. He started in stand up kind of. Actually if I remember right he started as the voice of a super best friend of maybe an aardvark or something on the PBS.
Still.

Yea, we beat Detroit and Chicago by a hair, 2013 instead of 2014. In four years Michigan will be back in the high single digits.
Some blogs don’t think much of your bleg :p
re: Ensign. He and his wife were separated at the time of the affair. I mean, GMAFB. Well, I guess his paramour wasn’t separated.
Dale, that Doc Weasel(s) outfit is sub-gutter tripe. There’s nothing there for thinkers. Screw ’em with Letterman’s tiny microschnozzle.
You know, which is better: not making money at a blog, or sucking cocks for $10, $15 if you swallow? Because the later is Doc Weasel.
Beware of advice from Paul Krugman:
I’m in, JG. Get back in here, brother…
And that’s helpful, Joe.
Jeff, I look at monetary support for you as I once subscribed to Time or Newsweek (which is about blunder into oblivion, with Time close behind). But I wonder if you offered some sort of costless premium, like a Title. For example, for $10 one could become a PW Minion, for $15, a Gobsmacker; for a mere $25, one could ascend to the status as Cupbearer or SofaPillseeker, and for maybe $50, attain the title of Agnostic Cosmopolitan.
Speaking of gobsmacking, by the by, here’s WSJ Online’s assessment of O!’s Iranian inanity. My favorite line: “As a French President shows up the American on moral clarity, Hillary Clinton’s point about his inexperience and instincts in a crisis is turning out to be prescient.” That’s gonna leave a mark.
I feel like I need a shower, after clicking on the docweasel link.
You can almost hear the physical stroking accompanying the rhetorical self-pleasuring.
I’m behind in my church tithing, but somethings are a priority.
I checked out Dan’s new site. Is he no longer assiting at PW?
>blockquote>eating clams.
bearded?
BTW, the other clams are in the mail. Thanks again for all you do.
HTML fail!
Joe, it’s like this (as I posted at home)…
Helen Hunt +PCP +Keyboard cat
Plus Darryl and Oates
Plus WHHHhhwwwwweeeeeeeeeeee!
I wept. It reminds me of the old 80’s music puzzles and every afterschool special ever filmed with the Armadillo.
Thanks, Sarah!
I’ve got to think of a way to justify showing that video to my class. We’re talking about Poe today . . . “The Imp of the Perverse.”
I think it’ll work.
Gay Pride Week Science! But if they are adult consenting grasshoppers, how could male-male copulations in locusts can be costly for the mounted male?
Keyboard cat has a long-suffering look on his face. “It will stop, eventually,” he thinks. But it won’t.
Guys like docweasel — he’s Dan’s buddy, by the by (Dan was helpful enough to contact him during our last kerfuffle to let him know I was on medication and unstable, even though I hadn’t been for several years) — are one of the reasons I have no interest in doing this anymore. That, and this presumption some have that they can speak for me or “explain” me.
Dan and one or two others here were also good enough to contact Patterico during that dust up to send that same kinda message.
Now we have Twitter, so that kind of information — and the kinds of clique formations that have destroyed the blogosphere — moves much faster.
Enjoy the echochamber!
Jeff: “Mine! Mine, ALL MINE! BWAHAHAHahahahahahahaha!!â€
‘Dillo: “Dude. Calm down. It’s five bucks.â€
The Fred C. Dobbs Memorial Fund. I love it!
My pittance will be forthcoming in a day or so. Wish it could be more.
Since last night, 1 donation.
Call this going out with a whimper rather than a bang.
I’m not an easy person, you see.
I got a quarterly bonus coming up next week, will slide you some if you promise to pander to me.
You don’t have to actually do it, just promise.
I notice that NK and Patterico and all the folks are over congratulating Dan.
He sure is able to triangulate.
I’m so disgusted now I could spit.
“Enjoy the echochamber!”
Fill the space — kill the echo.
Or flounce off in a huff never to return.
Again.
WE DESERVE OUR DAILY READ! CHOP CHOP, COMPLAINER! STEPHEN M IS JUDGING YOU!
Stephen M
I don’t know who you are, but there is certainly no call to add insult to injury…
Give us this day our daily read.
And forgive us our reprisals,
as we forgive those who reprisal against us.
“I’m not an easy person, you see.”
Same here, but my wife and kids and God still loves me. So I can live with that.
How about you?
Stop whining and crying, Stephen.
Relax, Bob.
I’m an easy target. And they’ll let me have it.
Already over at Dan’s new place, he has embraced the punk who started all the shit over at Patterico’s. A place from which I’m banned, incidentally.
When you’re banned on the right — and with this new Twitter clique bullshit going on — it’s time to cut your losses or reinvent yourself.
And I am who I am.
Jeff,
I’ll slide you some dough at the end of the week. Things are tight right now as my wife’s mother lives with us and has required extra upkeep lately, but I’ll do what I can…
some of us like who you are. and not in a creepy stalker way either. the stupider the world gets, and the more the not stupid ones opt out of it, the sadder i get for it. thank you, for sticking around so long (with hopes however foolish of longer,) is alls i can say.
my wife’s mother lives with us and has required extra upkeep lately,
Bob,
Is that open to free-form interpretation?
“I’m an easy target. And they’ll let me have it.”
But the only weapon they have is envy and it only hurts if you return fire in kind.
Well, it’s only today that I’ve figured out this is the end for PW. Best of luck, Jeff. I envy your talent and brains. I was thinking of you last night while reading Tom Wolfe’s “A Man in Full.” Not that you’re a man in full; I can’t claim to know you that way. But even a plodder like me can see that you’ve got the same ability to make language jump as Wolfe does. I hope you can find a vehicle that lets your assets shine. I really do.
Spearhead!
“not in a creepy stalker way either”
I reserve that for Bob Reed
oops did I say that out load
Load = lowd
this is the best blog. The only one I really dislike a lot is the Allah one. I don’t want to but I can’t help it even if it makes me feel like a surly and uncharitable person. He’s just so gick. He reminds me of how I took a course in legal research thinking I was going to apply to law school and I had to hang out with a bunch of lawyer student peoples and I just thought fuck the hell out of this idea of spending the rest of my working life around these ones. All of them were so gick.
Expend no more energy on the nutbars, Jeff. Really. Do what you do best and that’ll be more than enough.
C’mon Bob! I’ve got like twenty “high upkeep Mother-in-Law jokes just waiting.
When I say this is the best blog it’s definitive. Just so you know.
See now Jeff that is the problem.
It is your marketing
Instead of calling it the protein wisdom 2nd Quarter fundraising post… you should call it the keep a home for Happy feet fund drive.
Well I have to walk to my tent in a blowing sand storm now so keep a light on for me……
Have I made you feel guilty yet, cause I am very persistant and I WILL BE BACK.
God Bless
It is very true that if the PW goes away then I have nowhere to comment. Not really. Not to where I could both comment same as here and feel good about doing it somewhere else. It would be disloyal to just jump to Dan’s blog even much as I like Dan. I was borned here.
You can hang out with nk and the fellas over at Dan’s.
Docweasel is welcome, too! It’s the new big tent!
al,
Please, provide me with all the good Mother-in-law stuff you can. Razzin’ keeps the old girls spirits up. Being a native New Yorker, she loves her some snarky humor…
“
It is a question of fealty I’m pretty sure.
I really should google that word cause who ever uses that word but I think I’m using it right.
Oh. Snarky humor. I was talking more along the lines of bitter, “what did I do to You God, that made me deserve this” MIL humor.
Regrouping.
All that’s good al,
I’ll just tell it to her with a twinkle in my eye…
Some days the “what did I di to deserve this” might not go over as well though…
It about tore my heart out one day when she looked me in the eye and said, “I bet you’re wondering how you ever got stuck taking care of this old lady…”
What could I say? I’m a really big “familiar obligation” kind of guy, she’s in her 80’s, and all her other kids live faaaaaar away or in the country…
I just told her to fuhgeddabowdit, I figured she’d understand that…
Octogenarians are off-limits Bob. You’re a good man. You could change out the tennis balls on her walker with squeak toys.
line crossed.
al,
I already installed an “oooo-gah” horn on it…The sound takes her back, and keeps the cats and dogs out of her way!
OH, try some twitter. Start small. Like licking the bowl after Mom makes a chocolate cake.
Worked with a man who took care of his MIL. She was 92. Her doctor (old Doctor Young) had just died and her new PCP (young Doctor Young) was one of the younger Rx in the same practice.
He had a great idea. Since he didn’t know her complete medical history and even if he did, he wasn’t sure if he agreed with the original Rx’s opinion, so he was going to take her off all of her meds and start over.
Tom, my friend, was using words I never heard him speak over the phone at work, which is how I found out about the situation.
Blessing on your kindness and good luck.
Geeze. Enough already. Ya got yer money. I had to give blood and a bunch of manjuice to get it, but there it is.
Understood. I may simply have been cranky, what with my wanting to contribute but not having a means I could make work.
And oddly enough, for me it was the Amazon thing that always worked like a charm. I dunno. My own PayPal tipjar hasn’t brought in penny one for me and the Amazon one was barely twitching at the best of times. Maybe the thing to do is set up a shopping cart to take credit-card payments directly. On my site I think I even have the means to do it.
No clue how, but that didn’t stop me from blogging.
Still doesn’t.
Stay, or don’t stay. Just make a damn decision and stick with it. Nobody likes a waffler no matter how much we want you around.
Close it down. Start a new one. You’re Jeff Frikkin’ Goldstein, not Protein Wisdom. You want to teach? Discuss? Reinvent the site, not the man. Your message is fine, nay, awesome. Maybe the cover of the book sucks, who knows. If the message doesn’t stick, change the method. Get a bigger stick. Use more carrots. Find something that works and doesn’t compromise or dilute the message. You’ve got powerful mojo in that magic bottle of yours, don’t stop handing it out.
Hoarded mojo never helps anyone. It’s gotta be shared man! Spread that shit out!
Just make up your mind and man up about it. That’s what we want. It doesn’t matter if the feared death is a whimper, if the death is righteous enough. Flame out, regroup, come back stronger. That’s how wars are won. Sometimes, knowing when to retire the field is more important than winning the battle. Holster your sixguns and let the blackhats run the saloon for a while. Sometime you gotta miss what’s good before you are grateful.
Enough platitudes for you? OUTLAW!
But I wonder if you offered some sort of costless premium, like a Title.
Maybe we could all be Amino Acids. Dibs on L-Tryptophan.
I didn’t donate last time cuz I didn’t make enough on etsy, but I have in the past – sure I sent you a Rescuer’s Down Under CD too once – but did tonight. Long time listener, long time caller.
Geeze. Enough already. Ya got yer money. I had to give blood and a bunch of manjuice to get it, but there it is.
Thanks Rusty,
Now that I have that mental image to live with I expect some Brain bleach soon;0
