Last month, after Dave quit paying me to blog, you guys rose grandly to the occasion via Amazon. May was the best non-Christmas month ever. Not enough to make up for the lost income, but it definitely went a good ways in that direction. For which, many smooches.<\/p>\n

This month? Erm … not so much. I believe the word for it is “sucks.”<\/p>\n

Amazon has its natural ups and downs, so normally I don’t worry. But nothing’s been normal since that email from BHM.<\/p>\n

So I’m just asking once again. Whether you’re at a level where you’re Cookin’ With Beans and Rice<\/i><\/a> (which is a great little Mormon cookbook, BTW) … or a level where you do your cooking in style with an Ecoque portable grill<\/a> (which over the years has been the most popular item I’ve ever linked) … please do it via my Amazon links<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The drill again for those who don’t know, is that if you use any<\/i> one of my Amazon links, any<\/i> time you visit Amazon to purchase anything<\/i>, then everything<\/i> you purchase during that visit will earn me a commission.<\/p>\n

Or you could just bookmark my main Amazon link<\/a> and use it as your forever-entry to that great and vast marketplace o’ stuff. That’ll make your life — and mine! — easier.<\/p>\n

Amazon may be having a pitsy month, but I did receive a mysteriously uplifting donation. Which came from a ghost. Not a Ghost as in the ranks of Freedom Outlawry<\/a> (though perhaps that, too). But a ghost as in spectral haunting.<\/p>\n

Or so the return address said. Really. A famous regional ghost from one of the most haunted parts of the country. I’ve sent thanks to the live person I’m guessing sent the donation. But just in case I guessed wrong … Thank you, Ms. Ghost.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

And again … I’m not<\/i> soliciting donations right now. Hoping to put that off for a while as I see how I do without. It was wonderful to get that ghostly boost, but if you want to donate, I’m pretty sure I’ll give you an “official” chance later. Perhaps soonish, as later goes. But later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
