Still, it _is_ an idea.  I've had to think differently since I've been 
off work for so long and from my point of view a donation button 
wouldn't be out of line.  It's not charity if it's from friends.

(Even if some of the friends are in the same spot you are.  Chris Byrnes 
is probably the worst off of this list - I'm embarrassed that I didn't 
think of him until now.  Sorry Chris!)

I can't donate a lot but I can donate $10 when my wife gets paid next. 
Maybe more once I kill my pride and apply at McDonald's. ;-)

Hell, maybe the sunmanagers list people would donate some money - after 
all a lot of them still have jobs.

Anyway, it was just a thought Bill - I didn't mean to offend you in any way.

P.S.:  Don't be so hard on yourself - you've got a good life overall and 
you're a good person.  That counts for a lot in my book.  Unfortunately 
it's usually the good sane ones that have to bear the brunt of the 
insanity of the world.
