Once again, I’m begging you
[BUMPED UP: I will be bumping this up today and tomorrow, and then this pledge drive will be over. Today’s posts can be found below this one. ]
It’s that time again.
I’m asking you to click on my Paypal “donate” button (hint hint: it’s on the right sidebar, above the Amazon widget, which is also a handy and helpful gadget to use). I’ve noticed that a couple of readers have set up a system for themselves whereby they automatically contribute a certain amount through Paypal each month. Don’t feel at all pressured to do that, but it’s a mighty fine system.
I give a very special thanks in advance to all of you who so kindly donate money to help keep this blog going. Even small amounts add up, if enough people contribute. But whether you choose to donate money or not (and I certainly hope you do!), I thank all the readers here, be they lurkers or commenters, sporadic or regular. We have some good times, don’t we, despite the often-troubling state of the world?
Is that you without the Granny Smith, Neo-neo?
Very pretty.

I wish!!
Maybe about forty years ago, sort of. But no.
Yay, there exists a ballet glossary! I’ll be able to understand Neo’s dance posts now!! 🙂
And I’ve put in something for the hat.
Thank you!! I hope you’ll also file this under “dance” so I’ll remember where to find this when I need it!
I helped a little bit.
I’m afraid I’ve never commented or donated, although I’ve been a lurker for a number or years now. Thank you for all of your hard work, your insight and help keeping me sane in these crazy times that we’re living through!
Have you heard of Patreon?
done my part !
I just put something in the hat too.
Thank you Neo, for all you do. And thanks to the all the great commenters as well. I’ve posted a few times in the past but not so often, because usually by the time I gather my thoughts someone else has already said it better.
‘Even these days were the worst and best of times.’
No need to beg, but it is necessary to remind us from time to time that you need financial support. Thanks for all your patience, thoughtful essays and the variety of your content. And, think about the t-shirt/hoodie/coffee mug/tote bag/bumper sticker potential merchandise bonanza of your behind the apple logo. Its a small gold mine of sustaining revenue.
I just contributed $250. I encourage others to dig deeply to support Neo. She is too humble to press, but it seems to me that many think a small contribution is enough to feel good about when they could easily afford more. She seems to work hard six days a week producing her unique analysis, which alerts to the peril our republic is in. I hope that she is achieving ever more attention from thoughtful opinion leaders. And, I hope that her well researched and impeccable arguments help the rest of us to sway opinions.
I have no plastic for me to contribute with, yet – Neo. But I am duly reminded to subscribe ASAP.
The next too years will be highly engagingly political, and the rare voice of wisdom, together with informed and insightful readership, is too rare indeed.
As others add, PLEASE remind us again. Thank you!
I just renewed my subscription as well. Thanks for all the steady, good work.
Off topic but note to Neo and others interested in what changers have to say: See this excellent interview by Ginnie Thomas (Mrs. Justice Clarence Thomas) at the Daily Caller:

A big heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s contributed so far!!
And to everyone who’s thinking of contributing—a preliminary thank you.
I have made it a point for the past several years to use Neo’s Amazon portal—and only hers—as my contribution to her Most Excellent Blog. We are heavy Amazon users and I hope it has added up. Please tell me that the anniversary band I ordered from Union Diamond via Amazon here last year showed up in your tallies? Once the last of our issue is out of college, I will be able to make outright contributions.
RigelDog:
If you ordered it through this portal, it would have shown up. Unless I know the month you ordered it, though, it would be very hard to do a search for it. But thanks so much for using the portal—it all adds up.
Done.
Me too. Thanks, Neo!
Now, my non-monetary contribution:
