Hey everyone. I pledged all of my December points to NOCH. I need 260 more points to be able to get the $25 Barnes and Noble Gift card to send to them so that they can buy books for those kids. Please help me reach that by leaving lots of comments.

Love to all

Julie

Does anyone know how many gift cards that everyone is sending in? I wonder what the total is going to be going to NOCH, that would be neat to know. I sure hope someone posts it so we can know.

I'll be all alone and was not going to go out again tonight but I am getting hungry and I have no food in the house so I may run out for a bit. It's 5 here so I still have a few hours before it gets crazy on the road!
Ang, wandering aimlessly, G. Dec 31, 2006, 8:14pm EST
I gave you a 10, hope these comments increase your points dramatically!

I usually have chicken but it's a special day, right?
How does this Noch thing work. Is Gather actually sending the cards to you, or do you send the cards to gather after you received them>
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 8:19pm EST
Okay. I guess I better decide before I waste my time here and then I don't get to eat!
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 8:20pm EST
Can anyone name their favorite kids' books?

Kathy S. Dec 31, 2006, 8:31pm EST
I agree with A.G. I hope everybody who has participated in NOCH will post the total points they are donating so we can see how much there is altogether. It would be interesting to see.
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 8:34pm EST
I believe some are continuing into the new year, not stopping in December, so it may be awhile before we get totals.
I think a running total would be nice. As people cash their points in and send their gift cards out.
Miz Lynn aka/BooBoo Dec 31, 2006, 8:52pm EST
Happy New Year!!!
Julie L. Dec 31, 2006, 8:53pm EST
Yes some are going until superbowl sunday which is Feb 4th. I really hope we will get a total on the number of gift cards sent. the way it works is basically an honor syste, Each person has to be honest. Todd, Liz, or April will send us a form to send to NOCH. First we order the gift card, then when it arrives we send it with the form to NOCH.
Julie L. Dec 31, 2006, 8:57pm EST
No the migraine is still here, but not as bad as yesterday. At least today I can sit up. Yesterday was really really bad. My few bits of posting yesterday were done from the bed. I have had a bad headache everyday for over 5 years. Ever since my hysterectomy.
Julie L. Dec 31, 2006, 8:59pm EST
I am ringing in the new year at home. Probably will be in bed by that time LOL
Julie L. Dec 31, 2006, 9:03pm EST
The point adder is very slow tonight. Only 3 points added so far. But I know it will catch up soon enough. Thank you all for your help with points.
Those of us that pledged our points are not the only ones that need recognition but also those of you who have spent so much time refreshing your pages to leave so many comments. Without all of you doing that, we would not get near the points we need to send those gift cards. So to all of you who have helped us get the points...You deserve a huge thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My points have not moved since Saturday morning so you may be closer than you think, Julie!

Are we close?
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:14pm EST
I decided to go to the grocery store and get a pre-cooked chicken for dinner. Sort of a cross between cooking at home and eating out.
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:14pm EST
I splurged on a chocolate cake!

Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:15pm EST
and lentils...anyone out there eat lentils at midnight?
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:17pm EST
I have a good friend that is Italian. She and her family eat lentils at midnight. She said it is an Italian tradition to insure prosperity in the new year. So now we do it too, after spending a few New Year's Eves with her and her family.

Happy New Year.
How many comments does it take to raise 260 points?
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:18pm EST
it's chilling in the fridge!
Julie L. Dec 31, 2006, 9:18pm EST
Corina, he will probably be home again around the first week in April
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:19pm EST
Good question, Linda. I tried to find out but all I could find was that there is no set number of points per comment. They have some kind of "schedule" so that if an article generates a lot of points, the comments are worth more. So let's keep posting!
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:20pm EST
Oh, that is not too bad, Julie. I know it seems like forever but it will be here sooner than you can imagine!
Corina Carrasco Dec 31, 2006, 9:20pm EST
