thanks-GIVE-ing - Patrick O'Brien Nov 24, 08, 7:55 a.m.

Later on this week a lot of us will be sitting around stuffing ourselves with yummy food, drinking delicious wine and beers, in celebration of Thanksgiving.

Well one our fellow NTer's (ol' school) used to enjoy such decadent meals and drink (you don't get the name Transfatty from eating salads) - but now Patrick is fighting to complete the most important project of his life and he needs our help. Corporate funding would be ideal but truly every dollar counts.

This is a call to rally the troops here at QBN to donate, during this week of "ThanksGIVEing." I know the economy sucks and things are tight. But, speaking for myself, as bad as things seem in the headlines there are no hardships in my life that compare to Patrick's story - and that story will be told, with our help.

Get this thread up to 100 comments today and I'll donate $100. Who else?

This thread is reserved for fights. For example when mrdobolina and kona get in to it, they can take it here instead of rambling on and on off topic in other threads.

this is also where i will fight with brandelec, my NT sworn enemy.

other feuds feel free to use this space as well.
