Holidaze: Your gift shopping dilemma solved!

Buy an optional Gannett Blog subscription today for that someone special, and you'll get a bonus: I won't launch a really annoying 12 days of Christmas countdown of reasons to support this blog.

I'm trying to earn $6,000 quarterly, through voluntary subscriptions of $5 per reader; advertising contributes just a tiny share. Please use the "Donate" tool in the green sidebar, upper right. Or, send checks and cash to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif. 94114-2594.

  4. I don't think you can get a lawsuit on unpaid overtime if you don't put in for it, Jim.

    FIGHT THE MAN! STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!

    Cash is on the way. Nothing personal, but if I send a check to a good-looking fella in San Francisco, I'd have a helluva time explaining that to the wife....

  5. Jim,
    I would like a refund of the $20 I sent you. This blog sucks. It really has declined in value. No one is here anymore. Clearly all your supporters have been fired.

    Give me my $20 back!!!

  7. Sorry Jim I feel my money would be better served by donating to the homeless. I just can't find it in me to donate to someone that can afford summer vacations in Europe.

  8. 9:53 AM - In defense of Jim on the Europe vacation. After working 20 years I too would take an extended vacation.

    Hey Jim, is gannettblog going to have a company Christmas party? My site isn't, again.

  9. As I recall, Jim's vacation had been planned for quite some time - even before he left USAT. He'd made deposits on stuff, etc.

    If it was "use it or lose it," I'd use it no matter what my financial situation was!
