that I could fundraise during the pilgrimage. Like, someone could sponsor a temple for a hundred dollars, and I could raise 8800 for my agency.
I decided no. I do not want to do this. Even for a thousand dollars a temple. Even a million dollars! I do not want to use this trip as a fundraiser.
no
Start at the back, and work your way to the front. We now have hundreds and hundreds of entries, and none of them are going to get dealt with if we start at page one, because they’ll be more and more and more coming in each time.
Open up multiple pages in separate windows, and report an account on each page, then close the window. This goes much faster than …back, ...back, ...back and then reporting the next one.

let them know what you think of them.
90% of the new goals are seo spam related. We have hundreds of junk accounts in NW. I contact the robots, but 43things isn’t their priority these days, and they might eventually get around to fixing the problem.
Meanwhile, everyone, rally to the cause. Not because you need the cheers, but because we need to drain the sewer! Hit Neighborhood Watch NOW and get rid of all this trash!

...but where I start to remember …I’m in a fast food shop – like an A&W or something, and I’m with my twin, and we’re waiting in line. It takes forever and the line barely moves, and we’re feeling increasingly impatient.
We start to noisily complain, and then we are in trouble with the authorities. They are hunting for us, and my twin suggests that we use the fire stairs, as normal people wouldn’t think of doing that.
Down down down the fire stairs we go, only catching a glimpse of housekeeping staff and their cleaning cart. Down down until my twin notices that the 18th floor is shaped differently than the rest. We stop there and go through the door…
...which opens into a college classroom. This is a good place to hide, and while everyone else has textbooks and notebooks to take notes, we feel we can be disguised. The professor is starting to distribute the syllabus and talk about the class, and he is interrupted by one of the students, who wants to know if they are still going to evacuate the building because of the intruders (us). The professor says no, that the intruders were caught, and we microrelax because it means that at least if that’s the cover story, not everyone will be looking for us.
He begins the lecture, which is on the Weimar Republic, and I am only half listening. He starts to show a film, but somehow it is not a film, and we are in it. I am being forced to march with others and show a fake enthusiasm for a government that I have no enthusiasm for. But I am afraid I will be caught, so I desperately hang on to this other person in my class, hoping that we are not noticeable. (My twin is gone.)
As we march, it becomes more like a walk, and he and I are more walking arm and arm, not hanging on to each other desperately. He asks me if I want to go to the Polish restaurant. I say I didn’t even know about it. He is both surprised that I haven’t heard of it, and delighted to share it with me.
We walk into the restaurant, which is bustling. I can smell allspice, dill, cabbage (nice, not icky). While we’re waiting to be seated, I remark on how short he is compared to me. Which he is, a good foot shorter. He says it doesn’t matter to him and I say it doesn’t matter to me either, and we’re both delighted. They seat us at our table, and I open the menu.
DREAM OVER.
24,000th cheer went to simplyLi because I really do want her to get that lump in her breast checked out.
A friend spent a year in Eastern Uganda, which is where he met Zilpah.
Zilpah wants eventually to become a doctor. She is an orphan, though, and has very little resources. My friend solicited his Facebook community to see if someone would be willing to send her to a boarding school in the district capital, as she had completed her schooling in her village.
We have taken on paying entirely for Zilpah’s education and board. Really, in US dollars, it’s nothing. A quarter of one percent of what it will cost for us to send my younger daughter to her private liberal arts college on the East Coast.
Even if Zilpah never gets to med school, at least she’ll have a better education. I feel like can’t help thousands of orphans worldwide, but I can help one.
I’m lying on the living room floor waiting for my husband to fall asleep so I can crawl back into bed and fall asleep myself.
Two of my high school volunteers re-boxed up a lot of the items we had in storage, so that now all our storage items were all in uniformly sized boxes. These are much easier to stack and store.
I have the desk and phone set up now, and the feeling of clutter has been reduced. I could probably move in by June 1.
Dear Mr. [name omitted]
This morning, I was doing volunteer duty on the Neighborhood Watch of the 43things community. One of the companies spamming our community I believe is a customer of yours.
Mr. [name omitted], probably you would be upset if I came to your neighborhood in Kirkland, and shat upon your sidewalk. And as you can imagine, I would feel the same if you did the same to me on my street here in Bellevue. We don’t throw garbage on each other’s lawns, either. It’s because you (I hope) and I are responsible and considerate members of the general Eastside.
So, as a member of the 43things community – not as someone who works there, or owns the company, just a long-term user of the site – please don’t create fake accounts on the 43things.com site, and then post fake entries that are there only to boost the seo of your clients. It’s like shitting on our sidewalk. Loyal users of the site, like me, then have to go through these ads, vote to delete them, and then go through these fake users, and delete these as well. It’s like making us scrap up your shit from the sidewalk and pick up your garbage from our front lawn.
Instead, I recommend that you set up a real account on 43things. Then, I recommend that your first goal is: “Patrol Neighborhood Watch until I have removed as much advertising as I have created”. We’ll be cheering on your progress.
Warm Regards,
