JWSmythe's Journal: Thank you

I'm cross posting this from my news site. Sorry, I didn't want to write it twice.

    I've been a little slack on posting thank you's for donations, and I apologize.

    The following folks have donated to Free Internet Press, either through a straight donation or subscription since our hardships started. You've all been so much help. You've kept food on the table. I'd say a roof over my head, but we've run enough news about the mortgage crisis that so many people are going through.

    Our economy is really rough. I've been trying to find work, and compared to late 2006, I'm finding 1/10 the available jobs in my field (Information Technology). I know almost everyone is feeling the same thing, with gas and food prices going up, but we aren't making more money. We really appreciate your help and caring!

Juan A $150
Blanche V hundreds
Larry M $6
Chris S $6
Lizabeth R $30
Kim D $20
Melode Q $20
Deborah M $103
Sherry S $3
Patrick M $3
Jagatguru K $50

    I don't like asking for help. My close friends know, I'm the guy who takes care of others. I'm always on top of everything, and I'm the go-to guy. Some friends know I'll loan them money and make my own bills a little late. If a car breaks down, a computer (or server) is acting quirky, a faucet is leaking, I'm there for them. Personally, I'm not comfortable being the one asking for help, but our close friends have been helping so much too.

    For all of our readers, we're striving to continue doing what we do best here. We're finding the news, and making it available as quickly and accurately as possible.

    I do have a grand plan for making Free Internet Press better. If we can get enough regular subscribers, we'll be able to grow our staff, with Intellpuke driving our journalists, and be able to bring even more news to you daily.

    Thank you all again.

Of course. :)

I'm spending my days searching for jobs, fixing things, and cleaning. Yesterday was dedicated to cleaning out one of my cars, so I can sell it.. Exciting stuff, really. I had already decided to sell it a while back, but it turned out to be useful to have around, when other cars broke. I've used it a few times when my primary car broke, and a couple friends have used it also.. It's kinda nice being able to say "oh, take the green car, no one's using it."
