		<description>Michale,

Heh. 

Well, I thought it was pretty hilarious ...

Perhaps the CW.com board of directors will post it at the next available opportunity. I know I&#039;d love to see it again!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I would encourage the ChrisWeigant.com board of directors to go ahead and sign me up for my maximum pledge of $200 ... &lt;/I&gt;

...or, the CW.com board of directors could just ignore me. That works, too.

Speaking of which, does anyone recall a beautiful long-haired white cat - Persian, probably - strapped tightly into a full-body golden bustier with the caption, &quot;If I snap, it won&#039;t be pretty! ... ?

		<description>Well, it&#039;s about damn time!

Ahem. Sorry, couldn&#039;t resist. Heh. I&#039;m just very happy that this thing is off and running, finally. :)

This year I pledge 25 cents for each Michale comment up to a maximum of $200.

I further challenge all of Chris&#039;s Huffington Post friends to pledge an amount worthy of their appreciation for Chris&#039;s gold-standard setting HP columns which are second to none in the blogosphere. I also promise to spread the word of this challenge and of this holiday fundraiser kickoff with kittens on each and every column Chris publishes at HP, more than once!

Thanks as always to our fearless leader of the CW.com comments section for taking charge and getting the ever important pledges started in fine fashion. Michale, you just need to reach 800 comments for my pledge to reach its full potential. So, remember, no more multiple responses in one post! I have full faith and confidence that you will handily achieve this goal and I promise to do my part to encourage that achievement and I apologize profusely, in advance. :)

Therefore, I would encourage the ChrisWeigant.com board of directors to go ahead and sign me up for my maximum pledge of $200 ... if worse comes to worse, and Michale does not reach the 800 comment level, then I will still honour that pledge and be sure to make 2014 a very ... how shall I put it ... challenging year for Michale at CW.com. ... or die trying! Heh.

I have a strong feeling that this is going to be another banner year for the annual CW.com Holiday Fund Drive and shatter all previous records.

Onwards and upwards!</description>

		<description>OK, THAT&#039;s done...

Now, just a little bit of over view for those new to CW.COM...

What I do on these fund raisers is I donate $0.50 for every comment I make..  Because it&#039;s a lot easier for me to send a lot of little donations rather than one big one, every one hundred comments, I pony up the dough... Or put a little in the kitty..  Whichever you prefer.. :D

So, that&#039;s the background behind my participation in the CW.COM Fund Raiser.   So, keep me on my toes, and let&#039;s let the comments roll..  :D

On another note..

I have done this once or twice in the past, so I am just going to refer to this as the Third Annual Michale Repair Fest (I&#039;ll hopefully come up with a better name soon.  Any hints??)

Anywho, I am somewhat well known (locally anyways) for my repair abilities...  

During the annual CW.COM Fund Raiser (Thanksgiving Day thru New Years Day) if any Weigantian needs a repair on any laptop, desktop, tablet, smartphone, LCD/LED TV, XBOX 360, PS3, they can get the repair done for free.  All they have to do is cover shipping both ways and any parts required...

One of my most successful repairs are the overheated laptop.  HPs are notorious for this, but it can happen to other laptops as well.  Symptoms are that the laptop powers up, all the lights and doo-dads come on, but there is nothing on the screen..  Sometimes it will stay like that, sometimes it will shut itself off after a min or two..

This is caused by overheating, usually because the baffles get blocked...

http://sjfm.us/temp/badkitty.jpg

Usually by a lot of cat hair..  :D

Anyways, the repair for this is called a ReFlow and is completely labor-only, so if you have a laptop in this condition, now is your chance to get it repaired for just the cost of shipping!

Basically, I donate to CW.COM by way of compensating him for putting up with me all year..  

The Michale Repair Fest is my way to give back to everyone else.. ALSO for putting up with me all year..  :D

You can contact CW for my email if you want to take advantage of this repair offer...

		<description>And so it begins!!!  :D

CW.COM doesn&#039;t have the kind of search function I need to go back and see how many posts I have made since Turkey Day morning..

This being the case, I am just going to start the count at 100 and send in my first donation of $50 right now..

Let&#039;s get the ball rolling!!
