No... Actually, anything you buy through those links counts.

just an update, IIRC from this morning, 49 books have been sold and 69 items all together....

Brush up on your Swahili - we landed some spots next week.

Shall I issue a correction? I should have said before TST was widely available.

the room is offered through a 3rd party. Your TBD login is not valid. Registering your name with them only has the benefit of someone not posing as you, but you have to login every 3 weeks or the username gets dropped.

do you see a picture of his book? Is your browser set somehow to block iframes?

I've upped it to a full 100% match. I forgot about the tax implications, so I upped the contribution.

Just click on the book or the button that says "Buy from Amazon".

well, I think we just entered 999 days in the suspension field and I guess that time has passed.... It is just a game. Relax and all will be well.

do we even know his address or any other contact information?

$50 donated from TBD in memory of AJ. I also provided a link to this thread in hope you can get more signatures (although I'm not sure if that was tacky or not). If so, I can ask them to remove it. Regardless, the sentiment is genuine.

do I have your address? if not, send a PM please. Sorry for the delay - my job issues and my general laziness got in the way. Maybe they are related?

ok, I put the links up on the right hand column. Note that you can buy the hard cover or other forms of the book by clicking on the links on the paperback page towards the middle of the page. I hope this turns out well! We can make a final determination of the charity later, but I agree with Lori that a local chapter of whatever is decided would be a better selection.

yeah, what the Chef said...

The extra 50% is out of my pocket. Depending whether it is hard cover or paperback - it would be about 50 cents/book, plus what I kick in. It may not amount to much, but if people are going to buy the books, then why not let Amazon make a charitable contribution no matter how big or small?

Ok, I went to do this and it isn't available. Is there another Bills hat you want or do you want a TBD hat?

I was thinking that with the interest in Tim due to his untimely passing that many people may be buying his books. What do you guys think about setting up links on the front page to buy the books from and TBD will donate 150% of the profit to the AHA or some other heart disease related charity?

I'm glad he cut me off because I knew I was starting to ramble and then I forgot the original question. I think John sensed that and saved me...

Gotcha...

?

8-track...

A few questions about Lynch, the website, and Russert. I only rambled once. They wanted to know what everyone was saying about the situation and my thoughts. I explained that the situation was very polarizing and contentious. I said I was in the "wait and see" camp and that justice proceeds at its own pace, not mine. The Duke Lacrosse team rape case should have taught us all a lesson. I referenced the Tim Russert thread that everyone was leaving their well wishes to the family and their memories of Tim.

Well, my brother just called. He caught it. I didn't tell anyone as I tend to want to minimize the damage I inflict upon myself.

Just curious if I caused anyone to drive off the road with my terrible voice...
