mind, blown.
So far we've recieved:
At an average of over $7 per donation.
People, that’s not a dollar. That’s not even close.
Your generosity is forcing me to reconsider my jaded, unimpressed view of humanity. I even rented The Notebook on Friday night. Maybe next I’ll start watching Oprah, or stop posting about hideous plant structures in the hallway, or the Jersey bridal boutique I was in this weekend that had a case – no, a china cabinet sized display – of tiaras. Maybe I’ll begin fulfilling the remaining ten types of blogger cheese I have yet to achieve.
And it will be all your fault.
Plus, if I hadn’t already enough reason to love humanity after your overwhelming response, a text from drugged-out Amanda late Friday night that informed me that as soon as she was better I was owed a free massage. This pretty much affirmed that being a kind and generous person pays off. (And I haven't even donated yet!)
So, from all of us involved, thanks again. I’ll keep it open for a few more days just in case, and try to keep you updated on how she’s doing.
Four hundred and twelve twenty-seven dollars. You should be proud of yourselves!

Blogger Cheese--there's an official list? Cool. I can always steal ideas from the list when I've got nothing.

Remember when we said "hey maybe we can raise an extra $50"? I cannot believe how AWESOME your readers are! This is so incredible.
Wow!

To quote the ubiquitous advertisement: "Behold the power of CHEESE!"
I laughed at the snarky/funny entry. Apparently, I'm on an all-dairy diet. And wouldn't change a thing!

I just went to make my donation, and it says you aren't able to accept anymore! I think this is a major bummer...
I wanted to be the one to make it an even $500. =)

Hi. I wanted to make a donation, but it said that you're unable to receive payments :(

Gah, they're giving me trouble, too. It seems like they won't let donations go over a certain amount until I put in account information for deposit, which they keep rejecting. What fun! I'll call in the morning if I'm still getting error messages.
Please try again tomorrow?

GRR. I have tried to reach Amazon eight different ways with no response. Any suggestions?

Can you close out the "collection" and start a new one?
