I wanted to say "THANK YOU" for my star...
I don't know who donated in my name. I was surprised as heck. I thought at first it was a mistake. I contacted Skinner who told me that it wasn't. I wasn't going to accept it because I'm not one to take gifts very well. He suggested that I take it in the spirit that it was given.

So, to the person who donated in my name I would like to say THANK YOU! Also, I want to let you know that you can count on me passing it along as soon as the tax returns come in. I promise to make a donation for someone else with thanks to you.

1. I'm going to do the same thing.
I made my first donation yesterday, but as soon as I get some extra money I'll donate and get a star for a couple of others. That's what being a democrat is all about, helping others when you can. :-)

2. Vielen Dank dafür, dem sternenlosen zu helfen.
Obwohl einige unbesonnen sind, sind viele freundlich. Vielen Dank dafür, entlang dem echten Geist von DU zu gehen.

4. Several Months Ago, Someone Did That For Me As Well...
It's a very nice feeling to have a "Secret Santa". (It's also a nice feeling to BE a Secret Santa, too.)

-- Allen

P.S. It wasn't me.

5. I look forward to finding out!
I want to return the favor so bad. I can't wait for the taxes to come in.
