I GOT SHOT AT TODAY!!!!!
Thats right I got shot, by the staff photographer from Sierra Style publishing which is one of my wedding publications I advertise in. They needed a photo of me for the online questionnaire I submitted and would only use a photo that their photographer would take.
Well for the first thing, I HATE TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED. So I thought I would turn the wheels on this guy and be shooting him while he WAS TRYING to shoot me. I think my stuff looks better! Ha! Poor Dante, what a great guy, I think by looking at my shots from the hip you can see i was driving him nuts!
GOOD TIMES!! LOL!!!

FUNDRAISING HAS GONE HI-TECH!
Salvation Army bell-ringers now take plastic(The Gazette, Mark Reis)People who wish to donate to the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign but find themselves short at cash can now donate with a debit or credit card since some of the bell ringers will have portable credit machines available.No change in your pocket? That’s no reason to walk past a Salvation Army red kettle this year without making a donation to help feed, clothe and shelter the needy.
El Paso County is the first Salvation Army chapter in the United States to test the use of debit and credit cards at five of the 83 locations where bell ringers are encouraging shoppers to open their wallets.
“It’s a response to the way in which the public spends money – people are using cash less and plastic more,” said Mike Smith, director of kettle development for the local Salvation Army chapter”Nobody carries cash anymore; we’re a credit card society,” she said Wednesday. “I’ve had it happen to me before, where I wanted to donate but didn’t have any cash.”
U.S. Bank is sponsoring the machines to ensure secure transactions, Smith said.
The organization still needs more than a thousand volunteers to ring bells at kettle locations, Smith said. The organization has recruited 1,600 bell ringers, but wants to reach 3,000.
“It costs us $10 per hour per person if we have to hire bell ringers through temp staffing,” he said. “When we get volunteers, it’s an automatic $10-an-hour donation they’re making.”

Long wet weekend in San Francisco
It was the 24th annual Gala and Auction for the San Francisco Bay Area Council of Boy Scouts of America. And even in this economy, the people, all 350 of them came out and raised over $350,000.00 to send kids to camp who might not ever had the chance to go, and it also provides money for uniforms and other items so desperately needed. Here are some images from the Mark Hopkins Hotel on Nob Hill.

Second Stimulus May Arrive by Christmas
By ALBERT BOZZO, CNBC.com Senior Features Editor(Nov. 5) – Though it’s too soon to say whether Christmas will arrive early in the nation’s capital, Barack Obama’s victory and an expanded majority in Congress could encourage Democrats to make up a list of economic stimulus measures and check it twice.If our goverment wants to stimulize us, how about sending us taxpayers a check for $500,000,00. each, thats what $700 Billion is if payed out to every single tax paying person over 18 years old would be. Just think, we could pay off all our debts, our homes etc. That would help all these companies who are going BK because the rest of the country cant pay thier bills.
