What makes you think I would do this for money?
I'm into the catharsis of the written word only. My musings are purely a poor attempt at emotional therapy conducted in the public forum of alt.surfing, primarily for my own amusement and that of some who may appreciate my efforts. My only reward is the generous and kind words some have sent me in appreciation for what I do.
That's all I really need as payment.
:^)
So do ya think I could get $30 bucks for my stuff?
That buys a bottle of Jack, a few stogies and a bag a donuts!
Hmmmmm. The Foondoggy Chronicles has a nice ring to it...
