Tomorrow is a new month and thus to avoid the board being full of Viagra ads, I will apply 7 of our remaining 21 credits. So I am asking everyone to chip in 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, etc dollars to keep the board ad free. About 3 of us have been the primary source of this funding, so I ask everyone to please chip in this time. I have various incentives to offer - blues / folk CDs from Larchmont, a few "What Would Jeff Erickson Do" bracelets from Mary for those of you about to enter into the Fantasy Baseball Fray and other stuff I can find lying around, but no yellow mustard!
I will leave the ads up for a few hours so you all can experience them. Here is the link to donate to a good cause:

Thanks,
Your humble Board Admin, Charlie
Thanks

Can I get a bracelet?  Will it have magic powers to help me figure out what I've gotten myself into?
Thanks to all who have carried the board for so long, you guys are awesome!
Stay Hot!
Robin

Even though I work in IT, bulletin boards aren't something I normally do, so I didn't even realize that you were filtering out advertising, although it certainly makes sense! I have made a donation for you; one month's credit to keep the boards free. Send anything you want to Robin's address, along with her WWJED bracelet!
Enjoy, Robin!
Mike

I have a WWBD bracelet from my last donation, but for my most recent one I wouldn't mind a WWJED one. Before you know it, I'll have the entire WW so and so bracelet line.

I wouldn't mind a new line - WWBCD - What Would The Big Chair Do or WWBCS - What Would the Big Chair Say.

If you run out of themes for bracelets, maybe we could start making chokers.........................

I recieved my bracelet today, it is great! Interestingly enough, our Vacation Bible School is a sports theme, so we may be making these at the Fans' Craft Zone. Thanks for the idea.
My Arod WBC jersey came in today also, got it off Ebay. I am all set for July!
Thanks again!
