Kim has totally socked it to the other teams for the Richmond Kidney Walk that happens this weekend.

Yipeeeee ------
Team total has passed the $8000 mark.......how completely awesome is that???

I fully expect a pic to be posted when his billboard goes up!

People,
PLEASE find it in your heart to give what you can to Kim -not only for the team; but for his family as well. There is a link in my sig!!
He is not going to ask himself (cause that's the kind of guy he is) but do not think he hasn't had setbacks again even though the big banner alert isn't there. (he has)
While times are not easy for most.....that is a far cry from what this man faces every day. so --go ahead-- ante up a 5 or 50...whatever you can and know that your karma bank is in the black!

      Yeh - a funny story - My friend is really impressed with the WF. I Skyped him the other day and I said, 'Yeh, wow, WF is super powerful - we raised $7000 for a fellow Warrior in need in under a week!'

      Then I remembered Allen gave $5000 of it - so I had to write back and tell the truth - the forum OWNER is totally generous - but still $2000 is better than no response or a kick in the butt! :p and now up to $3000! (total $8000)!

      SEE 'THE GLASS IS HALF FULL NOT HALF EMPTY'


      (not to mention 'it's the thought that counts')

    Steve, I am very grateful with what we have raised!
    With permission, we have incorporated The Warrior Forum logo into The Kidney Walkers logo. You can see it here.

    Andie,
    At this point we get the billboard,but I was informed yesterday that we are not a shoe-in for it, as the fund raising goes on till December 16th even the the walk is this Sunday.
    But, if our team does get the billboard prize, there definitely will be pics posted!.

    Thank You Mike!

    Dave, I HATE cold weather and yes,they are calling for chilly tomorrow.After the walk they are having a blues and BBQ (and beer ,which I can't drink) event though,so that should warm a lot of folks up.

    By the way Dave, I don't know if I already said this or not, but thank you for your donation too. The US mail system DOES still work!

      How cool is that!! (i tweeted the news link....hint hint to all of u)

      Kim, I don't envy you the weather......Heck, I don't even like the 50s stuff we've had down here lately <brrr>

      Mike, Thanks for re-posting the offer --hope it will encourage some who haven't put their cash up yet!

    Morning coke? blah! When I was able to drink soft drinks I was a Dr Pepper fan.
    But I would have to drink what came close to the real stuff which is found here not that slop that is made with hfcp. They claim people can't tell the difference,but I'd bet money giving me the two versions I could tell the real stuff.
    Recently we have found in our local grocery store some Dr Pepper with "made with real sugar" on the label. My wife, who never liked Dr Pepper tried some and says it tastes nowhere near the stuff with the hfcs.
    That being said, technicALLY THE ONLY "DARK" cola I am suppose to drink is root beer. I can drink all the "light coloas" I want, like Sprite,7-Up,Ginger Ale, etc etc.
    Go figure.

      UGH...my mom likes DP but I never grew a taste for it, or root beer. Never understood the coffee thing folks have either...

      I was a way unhappy camper when they pulled the New Coke crap and took my Classic away for awhile
      It is pretty much my only 'soda'...my wake up call
      Anyone in my world knows they are in for bigtime trouble if I have no coke for the next morning LOL!

      Sal- thanks! i'll switch it over

      Well, that should help you folks walk sure enough.

      Andie - the link in your sig for the Kidney walkers should go straight to their page on the Kidney foundation site -- otherwise all of his donations are probably going straight to him -- which is a good thing, but it won't boost his walk totals.

    I am scrambling for things to make me drink more water and yesterday I discovered Trader Joe's has some great Lime flavored Sparkling Mineral water.

    This is a whole lot more healthy than any kind of 'soft drink' - and it actually tastes close to 7up or Mountain Dew without the sweet. There is no sugar or syrups - just water and lime.

    Other than not enough water I think what caused my kidney stones was an overdose of Vitamin D -

    I was just taking stock of what I take in Vitamins and found that in addition to the 2000 IU of D3 I take, that there is D hidden in several other things I am taking.

    So I am going to scatter it over the day rather than stand there and swallow 10 pills at once.

    On the other thread I offered to give a free seo campaign to anyone who donated $250 to the walk. Sadly only one person took me up on it. So how about we say anyone who donates $150 will get a free campaign. Basically after you donate the money you will need to PM to let me know you have done so. Make sure to send me the url to your site as well.

    My offer is still on, too. (Dog training PLR report - $10 donation or more).

    Kims walk is today -- If you haven't donated, are you sure you are in the right forum? We are the Warriors - and we get each other's backs. You don't want to support your fellows? Go to DP or someplace.
