Please, don’t feel uncomfortable about “talking about money.” Bring it right up front with regular frequency, and let our generosity, of whatever amount, save you from those days close to the brink.

SaltInWound (167) — check out the Technorati.com Top 100 Blogs; FireDogLake is 97 out of 100, where by comparison Huffington Post is number 1. 100X difference in authority level, too. Surf down and look at all the blogs inbetween 1 and 100.

Crikey, even ICanHasCheezburger.com is in the Top 10 Blogs.

This should give you some idea how rarefied the air is in Arianna’s blog-neighborhood, or how out of skew valuation is ifICanHasCheezburger.com can beat FDL’s family in ranking.

Ahhhh.I’ll take it!</p> <p>Would that I could. Hope you have some time before you really have to sell; not the best time to be a seller. I’m in (a rental in) the most desirable part of my city, and instead of the usual 3 month “supply” of houses for sale, there’s an 11-month “supply.” And we constantly hear that our real estate market is much better off than most cities.<br /> Wish you luck.</p> Hi, Adie – if you read this…I can’t think of anything more perfect – two kinds of berries bushes??

Wish it could be more but I gave because the Lake has provided me with endless hours of news and discussion about the subjects that mean the most to me. Our country and keeping politicians honest and working for the good od all the people of this great country. Keep up the fantastic work. The changes lately have been difficult but I know the back room crew WILL get everything running smoothly as soon as they can. Thanks for all you do Christy, Jane, Suz, ES and everyone one else who contributes to make this the very best place on the WEB!!</p> Late but Christy I just chipped in.

We’ll donate when we can, but these are unsettling times. Feels weird to have our house all paid off, virtually no debt, and yet we’re scared witless over whether we’ll make it into our retirement cottage. Once we’re over the threshold, I think we’ll feel better.

Obama sign out front and “Friends for Peace” sign at the door.

And of COURSE the place is fully “wired”. How you think I got here to the Lake, eh? *g*

Anyone? Available June ‘09, assuming junior doesn’t bring on the apocalypsogremlins in the meantime.
