Title: So......I had to ask some friends for help...or "Friggin Conservatives ROCK!"
Post by: IassaFTots on July 31, 2013, 09:29:31 PM
For those of you that I am on FB with, you already know about my current quest.  A good buddy of mine's Godmother's Father is turning 100 on August 16.  She posted a week ago on FB that she is trying to coordinate a birthday card to be sent to him from each of our 50, not 57 states.  In less than a day, with one Facebook post, people have stepped up and committed to sending a card to a guy they don't even know. 

It's been a super great experience for me, seeing people I know step up and do something so cool, just for doing it.  I am overwhelmed by the generosity of my friends, some of whom I have never met in person, and am so happy to get so close to making my buddy's wish come true. 

Funny thing though.  I do have several FB friends that are liberal.  They haven't gotten involved at all.  Not one, except for my dearest cousin in Maine.  She must just be liberal by association.   :whatever:

I am just really feeling grateful for all of the offerings to help a man I have never met celebrate his birthday.  It's pretty freaking cool!

That would be awesome!  I don't want to share their address, except for PM, but I figure Hey!  You only turn 100 once, yes?

I asked Tots if sending this guy a subscription to Playboy might be in order.

She laughed and sort of said, mmmmkay?

I still ain't sure.

Looking for feedback on that idea.

Is it appropriate to send a subscription to a stroke book to a 100-year-old guy you don't even know?
