501(c)...... she used it for Disneyland... might be questionable.
"salary"...... she's spending the whole wad, not very business-like,
unless you are the Federal Government, and THEY don't call it a "salary"!
And then.... HEY !!.... whadda-ya mean "Drunken Sailor" ????
I was in the U.S. Navy, and I take offense to such inflamatory verbage....
Disparaging words such as that... OH !!!
I'll have you know that MY crews, and MY ship always acted impeccably...
well... with the highest regard toward our fellow....
um... always treated the women-folk with chivalry and....
Sigh.
(Isn't there a nicer way to say Drunken Sailor?)

Was I always on championship teams? No.
Did I always coach championship teams? No.
Did I coach "individule greatness in effort and attitude" into each player? Yes.
Was individule improvement paramount to "winning"? Yes.
Was I proud of "My Boys", and sad when each season came to a close? Yes.
And when one of "My Boys", maybe now a foot taller than me, comes up beside me and wraps an arm around my shoulders and says in a deep voice "Hi-ya Coach"...... am I in Heaven-on Earth? Absolutely!
I musta done sumpin' right !!!
I can't wait for another batch of inspiration....

It may be only a little thing, but her sign says "Free Lemonade",
with a "Suggested Donation" of 50 cents...
So the little cutie didn't "sell" a thing!
No sole proprietorship...
No quarterly taxes...
No donation was a single large donation...
And besides being in 'possession' of a million-dollar smile,
she learned the value of giving it away... whatta joy!

ya just have to ask the right kinda guy !!
Ask an old sailor how to brew a "traditional" pot of coffee,
and he will tell you to put a dash of salt in with the grounds before starting the brewing.
What you get is a very mild, smooth, non-acidic pot of joe !!
To those of us that still use a cheepo drip maker, put only 10 grains or so in the basket.
Hey, let me know how you like it, okay?
And to you brainy chemist types...
I'd enjoy any input as to WHY so little salt makes so much difference in taste !
Mahalo.

maybe you just can't fathom a woman that is comfortable in her husband's "man cave".
Too bad for you !
You might try to locate and "serve (your) gods" on the exterior of your own epidermis.

He was risking serious health problems to the injectees.
