ummmm, can I have one for the kid?
Remember, my brother did share his room last year!!! What that has to do with the scholarship I haven't a clue.
She's little and she and Jamie got along really well. She was also voted "worst dressed" by El Greco.
That and it is hard to stay home and lie to grandmother that mom and dad are at an "Educational Conference" in Vegas. Really.... Grandmother is getting suspicious.

$$$ Cha-ching. (That's the sound of a donation being made.)

"Cha-ching?" Mine went "click." Either way, I have donated. I will have to see if I can go to TAM just to check up on the fraction of a person I have supported. And since you won't tell me who gets the money, I guess I will have to just check up on everybody.

I've made this a sticky thread for a few days, just so everyone will see it.
If you are interested in a scholarship and said so in another thread, please apply at the page that Jeff linked above. I am only recording "official" applications, not requests made in threads here.
I urge anyone interested in a scholarship to apply el pronto immedioso, like right away.

I just made my first donation.
There is a chance I might donate more, depending on how much money some friends of mine need to borrow from me in the near future.

He is my personal savior (or at least the savior of my son and his best friend).

Lurkers of the forum, unite!!! All you have to lose is your anonymity!!!
Assuming Paypal didn't mess up, I should have just allowed someone go to TAM 5.
I suppose I might be willing to share a room as well.

Maybe more next payday as well.

Just checked the site and 24 scholarships so far, but 17 folks are still waiting.
I have done my part (instead of Paul bleeding it out of me in drips like last year, I gave them one big check before The Amazing Cruise), hopefully all the rest, especially the auctions, will help even more to make it.

Remember folks, your $5 or $10 might tip the balance for one more person to be able to attend.
Good job Paul.

$1, too.
In fact, why not simply empty your pockets right now and see what you have of spare change?
Come on, people! Every cent, øre, centavo, lek, whatever, counts.

I just made another donation, but I have to save up for my daughter's (for some definition of 'my daughter' that work for me, okay?) wedding, so this may be the last... everyone, please, if you have a few spare dollars, the scholarship fund is a worthwhile thing to do with them...

Are you a real girl? Sometimes on the Internet, it's hard to tell.

Well, you decide for yourself in January. But, I'd say I'm a real girl.
