#1 Congratulations, Fred! It is amazing that you were able to find a job (any job) in the worst economy since before the Depression. :-)

#8 Not sure if I'm missing something - where is the link to donate? What methods are available?

Good luck with the new job, Fred. Does this mean that we wont be able to post articles & comments criticising "academics" in future?

#10 Fabulous news, Fred! Admiral, the Paypal button is in a straight line down from the list of recent posters, underneath the bright blue Rantburg thingy. It is smallish, so you may want to put on your extra strong glasses. ;-)

#11 I'll exhale as soon as I've got the signature on the contract, not before...

#13 No problem, sir.

After all the fatuous posts of mine, it is high time I hit the tip jar.

OldSpook, you are in the Springs? You looking for something in particular? Just email me if you are.

#16 Congrats Fred!! I'm sure you will get the post.
Do me a favor though- Could you email me and confirm that my smallish donation (between jobs) went through? PayPal gave me an obscure message that I didn't understand. BEST!

#17 Best wishes! Consider it a Holiday gift, but don't worry about the begging.

I used to do it every night, but now I'm so old, I'm down to once a week. [rimshot]

#18 Congrats, Fred! (Fingers crossed for you until you actually walk in that door - not that I'm superstitious or anything....)

Check's in the mail (no, really, it is). I'll try to send something closer to Christmas, too.

Y'all have a GREAT T-day!

And the same to all Rantburgers. :-D

#19 ^5 Fred! Best of luck to you with your project and the holidays as well. I will definitely hit the tip jar soon. And, may I remind readers who plan to do holiday shopping on Amazon, be sure to get to Amazon.com through the link here at Rantburg. That's what I plan to do.

P.S. LOL Rambler (comment #1). Maybe brother John Edwards can spare Fred a dime too.
