Default You guys (and gals) are SPECTACULAR!

Yesterday morning the total contributions to the Susan G. Koman Breast
Cancer Foundation was less than $500. Right now it's within a dollar of
being at $1100. Much of this came from the generosity of you guys, and we
really appreciate it!

If any of you still care to make a small donation, please do so. The web
site is:

By now, those of you who've contributed should have received a 'thank you'
email from me, in addition to the receipt for your income tax. If I've let
one slip, chew on me for a while.

All a y'all is the proper term for those of us south of the Mason Dixon.

The Mason Dixon is a region, not a line. I'm in S. FL and there are no
hillbillies here. We have just about everyone else, however. I heard a
guy a few weeks ago say he was "fixin" to do something. It turned out
that he was planning to go home up north.

According to these guys, it's a line.

"Fixin" is proper usage for "I'm about to get ready to start thinking about
doing something". Planning comes *way* after 'fixin'.

For those not in the know, 'all y'all' is the plural of 'y'all'.

Good. I'm glad that people you consider "friends" here, even if online
only, have come around in a time of need.

That sounds a bit negative and John never used the word "friends".

The bottom line is that he has set a realistic goal and there are enough
people here to hit that number without missing a meal.
