Looking over my massive stats for the past month, it appears that about 15% of my viewership were return visitors… You guys need to register and leave some comments so I don’t feel so alone in here! Yeah, I’m talking to you there in Sikeston, you guys in Saudi Arabia, San Francisco (well, I know who you are…), you big goober there in Singapore who hits me every other day, the crackhead in Michigan, the otaku in Tokyo who regularly searches my site for porn, the crazy flasher guy from Skype, you there in Plainsboro, New Jersey who hangs on my site for hours at a time even though there’s just not that much to read here… I’m talking to all of you! Throw me a fucking bone, why dontcha?

If you look over in the sidebar, you’ll see that I’ve placed a Chipin widget there begging for donations. That’s right, folks, I’ve entered the world of bloghandling, or whatever you want to call it. I figure I’m paying for hosting this site, so it’s mine and I can do and say pretty much what I want to do or say here, even if it does make me look like a chump with a “visions of a cheeseburger” sign down on the corner. Here’s my plea for cash as posted on my Chipin page:
Imagine the voice of Sally Struthers:
“This little girl needs a safe and clean place to play. Her parents’ backyard is a mess, and is going to take a bit of work to have repaired so that grass will grow for her little feet to run on. As it is now, the barren grassless spots in the yard collect rain water and create huge pools of mud, as well as become breeding grounds for swarms of West Nile-carrying mosquitoes. Won’t you help? Just a dollar will help this family repair and beautify their child’s playscape, replace the broken-down fence and correct the sinking patio. Hell, more than a dollar would really help; Say, five or ten or even twenty. Perhaps you’d like to bankroll the project? Please help.”
As the camera stops rolling, can’t you just hear her plea:
“Man, am I glad that’s over… Where’s the closest Krispy Kreme?!”
But seriously, folks… My backyard is seriously in need of a makeover. Nothing extravagant, it just needs to be leveled and have drains added to get rid of the water so grass will grow. And a new fence, ‘cos the old one is rotten and warped to hell… Oh, and while we’re at it, the patio needs fixing ‘cos it’s unlevel and separating.
Visit this Flickr set for photos of the yard as it appears now. Thanks for looking!
