***HELP A DUER*** whose dog, Seven, needs surgery. Please keep this kicked! ($$$ UPDATES)

[font color="blue"]UPDATE #1: Sorry, no update on amount raised yet; I'm sure AtomicKitten will let me know as soon as she logs onto the computer this morning. The first update is that the auction of the beautiful jewelry, to raise funds for Seven, is now ready! See below for more info.

UPDATE #2 (1:20 PM EST): $600 raised so far!!!

UPDATE #3 (5:40 PM EST): $668 raised so far!!!

UPDATE #4 (as of 10:30 PM PST): $1030 !!!!! (It's Thursday; no more donations since this last update to my knowledge)

I don't anticipate any more updates financially; I think the fundraiser topped out around $1078. Atomic Kitten is now shopping for better rates for the surgery and believes she may have found a clinic or two to work with at a reasonable rate ($1100). She will let us know after Seven has had surgery and will give us a progress report.

Please see this WISHLIST POST, which includes a link to a PayPal account being used to collect funds for an excisional biopsy. Please also feel free to contact her here at DU or Wishadoo with questions.

(Remember that you don't have to have a PayPal account to help; your debit or credit card will work just fine. Also, it seems PayPal works differently for every single account. If you have the option to select "Personal" and then "other," that should eliminate any fees.)

If there are other forums here at DU where this can be shared, would you please do so for me? Thanks.


Please Note: Two DUers have previously donated items to use in Wishadoo!'s Marketplace, but because there is so little activity there, I haven't posted anything as yet.

The auction offering the beautiful jewelry our own Le Taz Hot crafted is ready to be auctioned in the Wishadoo! Marketplace. The proceeds will help the fundraiser for Seven! It works like ebay, and I set it for a three-day auction. CLICK HERE to check it out! (You do have to be a member and logged in to Wishadoo to use this tool. If anyone has trouble with anything at the site, please let me know. But I'm going crazy today, more than usual, so please be patient with me. )



(Description: Red and lavender micro-macrame bracelet and earring set. (Faux) "Jeweled" diamond-shaped center beads with faux pearl accents and red seed beads. This set is one-of-a-kind and will never be duplicated.)

BE SURE TO K&R THIS POST SO YOU WILL SEE MY UPDATES, INCLUDING THE MARKETPLACE LISTING FOR THE ABOVE AUCTION ITEM!

*** THE COMPASSION REVOLUTION!!! ***

EDIT TO ADD: Oh the irony of Beck being front and center right as I launch this, since he was rather pivotal in my journey, leading to this REVOLUTION.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022803134#post4


Here is my blog post giving the background, including my Beck encounter.

* * * *

I've been working nonstop for days getting all the pieces together. As a non-techie type, that is HARD!

Please click the link below to be taken to the COMPASSION REVOLUTION page where there are six easy suggested steps to follow to join and build this movement.

The only thing missing is the Thunderclap tool, which amplifies our voices via Facebook and twitter; once that's approved, I'll send out notices, asking people to please sign up to do that.

Please note that I know many do NOT like petitions or forms that request an email address in order to sign. I found another way to gather signatures to show the support for this movement...for a more compassionate world...as many people aren't on social media. I think the tool I used to gather signatures is super easy and should meet everyone's requirements. It doesn't ask for email or anything personal. It's a symbolic show of support for this positive action Revolution.

There are several links to follow once you're at the page, including a blog post giving some background to this Revolution (some of you already know a good portion, involving Mr. Glenn Beck).

If you would help me spread the word in various ways as noted at the link, I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Be sure to check out the video below as well.

Thank you, DU, for your support of me, of Wishadoo, and the world so many of us are working to create.

UPDATE! I've been challenged by a Beck/Limbaugh right-winger

[font size="3"]UPDATE: For anyone who may have bookmarked this, I wanted to add a link to the OP for the COMPASSION CHALLENGE:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022803133

As always, thanks![/font]

* * *

Edit to add: If you want to get on board early, this page has icons for all Wishadoo's social media. I'll surely be blasting from all avenues on Sunday.

http://www.wishadoo.org/share-wishadoo/


If anyone wants to connect with me, personally, I would LOVE that!

My personal Facebook profile.

My personal Twitter account (I rarely use twitter but that's gotta change).

BTW, if any of you are feeling creative and energetic, I'm all ears as far as ideas you may have and how you envision a Compassion Revolution. I have my vision, but I always invite others to share theirs. I don't have a marketing/PR group or anything behind me: I have me, myself and I. And hopefully a lot of YOU!

How awesome would it be to get Thom Hartmann and other progressives on board, as well as high-profile social media peeps like The Rude Pundit on board? Compassion takes many forms.



I do NOT mean for anything I initially wrote (see below) to imply I'm a victim in any way, shape or form. In fact, those throughout my life who have dissed me and my worldview, and who have instead embraced that of Limbaugh/Beck, have inspired me to work even harder and stand even more firmly in my truth and my integrity. I'm anxious to show them I'm not alone.




* * * * * * *

As I approach 50 and evaluate the world around me -- and my place in it -- the question of "my value" has been very much on my mind given the struggle so many of us, especially over 40, are having in this capitalism-run-amok economy and society.

I have been challenged by someone who has a right-wing, religious conservative worldview to see how many people support my worldview, as he feels what I try to do to advance a world of more genuine compassion, cooperation and community has no value. To him, the fact that I struggle financially clearly indicates that I and my work have no value in this world.

Some of you may remember that in 2010 Glenn Beck dissed Wishadoo (and thus me) on his Fox TV show, insinuating Wishadoo is part of the communist/socialist/fascist/Nazi conspiracy because of the focus on The Common Good, compassion, yada, yada. My family is a Beck/Limbaugh family, so other than my mom, they have even chosen sides, and they side with Beck/Limbaugh, having always dissed my belief in humanity and, quite frankly, integrity.

I plan to launch an (initially) online COMPASSION REVOLUTION on Sunday, May 5th, and hope to prove every Limbaugh Republican who has dissed me throughout my life wrong...to show that I am far from alone, and that others are ready to not only embrace but work with me to more visibly and vocally stand up to show support for more compassionate, collaborative, joy-filled world.

I really, really, REALLY hope you'll join me and help me spread the word and get more people on board to show their support for the anti-Beck/Limbaugh/Robertson/Palin/Fox world many of us are working so hard to create.

I have so many projects in the works, just waiting to gather the troops, so to speak. I hope those who resonate will join this COMPASSION REVOLUTION and help me grow and develop this new movement.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a Human Being

This video is from July 2012. The online community is trying to find Mr. Davis but, as yet as far as I know, no luck. There have been scammers setting up online fundraisers saying it's for him, but they've been discredited as being just that: scammers.

I'm posting this because this applies to SO MANY PEOPLE...people down on their luck in myriad ways, with others judging them harshly without knowing their story.

We rarely know another's story. Not really.

So, in my most humble yet sincere opinion, we would do well to remember that, above all else, the stranger we encounter along our path who may be asking for our help in some way is a human being.

We need to be mindful of The Golden Rule.

It doesn't mean we are horrible people if we're skeptical, but we must remember our Humanity, and see the Humanity in others. Maybe we can learn more about their story before making assumptions and judging them harshly.

Edit to add: It may be good to remember this even if the person is wearing a teabagger-type t-shirt or is sporting a confederate flag, for example. They're also human, so maybe we can default to treating others as fellow human beings unless they DO something that shows they're not deserving of our time and energy. Maybe the right-wing paraphernalia isn't even theirs, and they're mortified to be associated with it, fearing others may not help them because of it.

7 Reasons This Muffin Mix Can Save America

Edit to add the company website in case you want to give them a shoutout: http://www.jiffymix.com/

Not perfection (see posts #37/38), but this company has more integrity than the vast majority we tend to hear about. I'll take integrity; I'll support them and encourage them to do better.

"Cory, My name is Howdy Holmes; I'm the CEO of Jiffy mix. Why don't you give me a call at ...." I could hardly believe my ears. There on my non-smart phone voicemail was a message from a Formula Atlantic Racing Champion-turned-CEO of the $100 million per year market-leading company in prepared baking mixes. What could I possibly have done to deserve this honor? I simply had written a short note complaining that I preferred the flavor of real blueberries to the artificial ones in their muffin mix.

Anyone who has dared venture down a grocery store's baking aisle or opened their grandparent's cupboard has probably seen one of the timeless white and blue "Jiffy" boxes that haven't changed much since the mixes were first invented by Holmes' Grandmother in 1930. What I didn't know until I did some homework, was just how great of a company is behind Jiffy mix. After a 16-minute long chat with the Jiffy mix CEO, and 11 years of studying business and economics, I knew I had discovered one of America's last great businesses. Here is seven reasons why:

1. Jiffy mix sells over 55% of all muffin mixes in the United States, but doesn't spend a dime on advertising.

While Jiffy competes by selling quality products at the lowest price (40 to 60 cents for corn muffins, for example), most American companies now try to sell their products by making people feel inadequate. "Buy our products, or you won't be happy or sexually fulfilled" is the implicit message that lies to us each time we turn on a TV or catch up on the latest news. Instead of trying to convince us what we should want, Jiffy simply does the right thing, and works to meet a genuine need for convenient wholesome food. The 30% to 52% off the final price that Jiffy saves not advertising or making flashy packaging is directly passed on to customers in the form of unusually low prices.

** HELP a DUer: Show What Community Really Means **

[font color="brown"](I was previously given permission by Skinner to post periodically about http://www.wishadoo.org, especially when it involves DUers, with this required disclaimer: "The administrators of Democratic Underground have given permission for one discussion thread on this topic. The administrators of Democratic Underground make no claims regarding the legitimacy or illegitimacy of this fundraising effort. Permission was granted by Skinner on 8/6/2010, and the moderators have been notified.&quot [/font]




EDIT TO ADD that, in spite of the misery and despair all around, there is GOOD NEWS going on in the world, and we're posting it in the new group GOOD NEWS. Join us!

If you're not familiar with Wishadoo, please see my journal for previous posts.


I NEED YOUR HELP, AS A COMMUNITY. PLEASE. It will surely come as no surprise to anyone here that the needs of DUers outweigh the number of DUers who see these posts and have the ability to help. I'm not only talking about financial support; we need more eyeballs and people to gather for emotional support and advice as well. I need your help in spreading the word about Wishadoo! The tools are there; I need help making more people aware of them. My time, energy, creativity and resources are severely limited at the moment.

Please click here for easy ways to help spread the word.

I've previously suggested one creative way of raising money for DUers and others via auctions, using Wishadoo's Marketplace (like "ebay for good&quot .

Honestly, my personal situation is very, very dire right now right along with many of you. I have so much already developed and built concerning Wishadoo! and spin-off projects, and other ideas waiting in the wings, but the business of survival and hamster-wheel existence of trying to find more work when over 40 and drowning in everything has taken a toll as of this morning. I am open to suggestions. About anything. I've always wanted for Wishadoo! itself to be a member-owned co-op, so maybe enough are realizing the beauty of co-ops and want to be part of moving Wishadoo! in that direction? If so, please let me know. Thanks. And, as always, A HUGE THANK YOU to the many people who have helped Wishadoo! and other DUers in many ways already. You are appreciated tremendously.



NOW, to focus on other DUers in need....

Click the DU name to see their Wishlist post. Please keep in mind that, even if you can't help financially (not all needs are financial), there are other ways to be supportive. Simple acknowledgment means THE WORLD; it takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and ask out loud this way. As we work toward legislative changes to ease the needless suffering of so many, we also need to simultaneously come together and have the courage to ask, offer, give, receive, and pay it forward. Most of the Wishlist posts are a direct result of the lack of a social safety net and lack of jobs. You can contact these DUers directly via Wishadoo or here at DU with any questions. Some posts have convenient donate widgets embedded for you to see the progress of their individual fundraising needs.

(BTW, I swear PayPal works differently for every single account. If you have the option to select "Personal" and then "other," that should eliminate any fees. But, in my experience, those options aren't always provided.)

If there are other forums here at DU where this can be shared, would you please do so for me? Thanks.


[font size="3"][font color="green"]* The newest DUer Wishlist post is from long-time DUer, oxymoron: [/font size]

[font color="green"] "I've come here to Wishadoo in hopes of enlisting the kindness of strangers and friends, get resource suggestions, job recommendations...anything.

I was transferred to Denver last year, and my brother, who has AIDS, accompanied me. I have since been diagnosed with MS. My Mom's health is rapidly deteriorating and we need to get back home to Portland, OR as soon as possible. Monies used will be for moving our household, breaking our lease, and getting an appropriate place in Portland.

I am also looking for work there; transferring is not an option, unfortunately. I am a major account manager with a background in the Transportation (moving) Industry and have working with the likes of Boeing, Amazon, T-Mobile, State Farm and many others. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

I am in my 50's and finding new employment is not easy in these times, even with extensive experience. Add my new diagnosis to the mix, and it's even more complicated, and stress certainly exacerbates everything. This is urgent for my family."

There is a PayPal button at the Wishlist post.



[font size="3"]* [/font size]rbrnmw has been under extraordinary stress for a long time, and recently you may recall that her father passed away. Please offer good vibes, well wishes and/or prayers regarding her father, and any other support you can offer regarding her s situation.

[font size="3"]*[/font size] You gamers and those of you who know gamers can help fulfill new, non-monetary Wishlist post by DUer, Akoto. He also happens to have an excellent OP in GD now discussing being disabled. [/font color][/font]


There are more...so many more. Please peruse the Wishlist or check my journal to see the list of previous highlighted Wishlist posts by DUers.

Please share all pet-related organizations you know of...

And if you know of any good regional or national comprehensive portals that already have such information (and is kept updated), please share that as well!

This heartbreaking post in GD yesterday by HillWilliam is what inspires this post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2547380


Along with supernova's reply, sharing info regarding an organization:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2549374


The need to find new homes for beloved pets is arising more and more often as a result of various traumatic life events, combined with the financial limitations of so many. This is a key reason people come to Wishadoo.

Compiling a resource directory of PET RESOURCES (rescue organizations, free/low-cost vet care, pet food banks, etc.) would be very helpful. I have the directory structure already set up; I just need the information to insert.

Would you kindly share resources you recommend? Again, if there is already a comprehensive directory out there that is maintained, please share that as well!

Thanks.

A chain email worth sharing :)

This is one of the few chain email messages that is worthy of being shared and forwarded, in my humble opinion. It seems to be incorrectly attributed to Andy Rooney but, in this case, the message is more important than the messenger.


I've learned.... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned.... That when you're in love, it shows.

I've learned.... That just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes my day.

I've learned.... That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right.

I've learned.... That you should never say no to a gift from a child.

I've learned.... That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.

I've learned.... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

I've learned.... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

I've learned.... That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.

I've learned.... That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned.... That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.

I've learned.... That money doesn't buy class.

I've learned.... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned.... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned.... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I've learned.... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

I've learned.... That love, not time, heals all wounds.

I've learned.... That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

I've learned.... That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

I've learned.... That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

I've learned.... That life is tough, but I'm tougher.

I've learned.... That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

I've learned.... That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I've learned.... That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.

I've learned.... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I've learned.... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I've learned.... That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.

I've learned.... That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

I've learned.... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

Aaron's Last Wish: Servers gifted with $500 tips

Here's some GOOD to start your week. I thought this was a one-time thing when I read about it several months ago, but it's not! How wonderful, especially knowing how much servers struggle, essentially surviving on tips



“Back in July, my brother Aaron passed away and he worked here when he was 18,” Seth Collins told Nikki Moore, a server at Pizza Hut in Berea on Wednesday.

“In his will,” Seth continued, “the last thing was that he wanted us to leave an awesome tip for a waiter or waitress. Thanks to the response we got from everyone around the world, we’ve had the opportunity to do that 34 times, and today is the 35th. So today, for Aaron, I have a $500 tip for you.”

Since the sudden death of his brother in July, just weeks after his 30th birthday, Seth has given $500 tips at 35 locations in eight states. His goal is to visit at least 100 locations in all 50 states within the next year, he said.

In Aaron’s will, created several years before his death, he wrote: “Leave an awesome tip — and I don’t mean 25 percent; I mean $500 on a [freaking] pizza — for a waiter or waitress.”
