Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Are you really saying:
“and now, we return to your regular Lex”?
OT: Who ever Jallred is, he’s helping the cause, but I can’t break the funds loose to outbid him, he’s already ahead of my limit by $100….Sucks, sucks bad, I tell you! (but it may help us ace the Marines out in the final rekoning!)
Heh. Sadly, I doubt that will happen, Curt. Someone who had given $3,000 to Marines just dropped another $2550 on them (holy cow!!).
Holy Smokes! I didn’t know what you were on about Curt, but then mosied over and saw.
Garsh.
I have to know…how much did it go for?
Oh, and, as I and JUST ABOUT ALL OF YOUR READERS HAVE SAID (until we are blue in the face and about to pass out): “PUBLISH! (before we perish from lack of O2!)”
How much did Rhythms go for?
$600. I’m astonished.
I knew I should have tossed more money at it…I bet Jallred would have upped the ante…Damn!
My comments:
Amazing!
Publish!
And now you have to write those final two chapters
