260 More To Go

December 31, 2006 08:03 PM EST
views: 36 | comments: 142

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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!
