Bugeyedmonster's Stomping Grounds

This is not mine, this is via a friend from FB.

"when they arrived their apartment was practically gone. They are left with nothing, and are expecting their first child, a daughter, in September. We are not the ones to ask for help, but with their renters insurance through the apartment company itself, they are only placing them in another apartment and not covering any personal belongings that were lost."

Do you like Sherlock Holmes stories? Read "The White Company" or the Professor Challenger series? There is a "Save Undershaw" preservation thing going. Undershaw was Arthur Conan Doyle's home that he had built. Doyle also drew the first draft before it was passed on to the architect, Joseph Henry Ball.

And Nowzad on facebook. Nowzad is an organization that rescues dogs and cats from Afghanistan. Some of their fund drives are for animals that were befriended by service personnel, and need all their shots and paperwork to go home with their military 'hoomins'.

The storyline sounds cool. And spooky. It reminds me of reading stuff about the Inquisition; you know it rarely ends well.
Clipped from the website...
"The Witches of Lublin is based on true and little known history of klezmer musicians in Eastern Europe. Co-writer Yale Strom's research uncovered the facts that there were women klezmer musicians, and that when klezmers would play for gentile nobility, their reward could sometimes be beatings, death or even kidnappings. This history formed the springboard for this work of fiction by Strom, Schwartz and Kushner based on Jewish women's lives in 18th Century Europe, klezmer music and feminist history, with a healthy dose of magical realism thrown in. "

I would love to hear the radio drama. You can help fund this radio drama if you choose.

Help send Teresa Jusino to Galifrey One. She's a writer, has been scheduled to be at Gally and one of her part time jobs has let her go. So she now can't afford to get a flight.

I was browsing some of the discussion boards on Amazon and found folks asking for beading advice and supplies.

Theresa Nolan is bed bound and bored to tears. She has no money but loves beading and crafts. If you can spare any latch hooks, knitting board or circle looms or beads or anything she can do from the bed it would be greatly appreciated. If you want specifics on her illness she would be willing to provide the information.

Marianne Slattery in Ireland is also looking for beading advice. She uses her beading skills to fund her disabled son's school, as a way to pass time while waiting at the hospital, and as gifts for the nurses in the hospitals. Apparently crafts and beading stores are not very popular in her neck of the woods.

Misty18630 posted on November 7th asking for beading supplies. She and her husband were looking for work and she was wanting to make Christmas gifts for her kids. Someone sent her legos and someone sent scarves and some folks sent beading things. It's a wonderful thread to read and shows the power of the internet.

Just boosting the signals.

The Prince Chunk foundation aims to help struggling pet owners keep their pets, instead of surrendering them to already overcrowded shelters.

Alley Cat Allies is just as it sounds. I'm hoping there is a local Dallas chapter that can help with the Gray Kitty outside. (I've seen a couple other cats show up for food as well.)

Anyway, if you can help please do.
