If you're wondering what to get me...

... for the holidays, I would not say no to the universal gift certificate, the US dollar. Ordinarily I would shrink from posting this, but having received a $1200 car repair estimate, and not knowing how to pay both that and my mortgage and utilities, I take the plunge. I've moved the so-far ignored 'tip jar' to the top of my sidebar to increase its visibility. If George Soros is out there, he can certainly afford to buy me a NEW car; for the rest of you, if the spirit of giving is in full flower, a five or a ten in my direction would certainly help.
