Okay, romance readers are the absolute coolest people.
The auction on ebay is up to $500. It doesn’t end until 5/19.
Edited to add….
More added *G*
No Free Lunch: Hal Spacejock -signed-by Simon Haynes

FYI, a friendly Aussie bird told me that I might want address the shipping charges for those outside the States-if the winner does live outside the States, we’ll work it out. One author has chipped in a little bit of money to help cover S&H. I’m not doing this to make any money-I promise to be reasonable with whoever wins.

Indeed.
Apparently Emmy’s sense of humor is weirder than I thought-she is the high bidder-and if she wants to call herself a nutcase, she’s entitled. (she’d made a comment, which is deleted and I can’t get it back, I don’t think-along the lines of WHAT NUTCASE WOULD PAY THAT FOR SOME BOOKS) . Ticked me off and then Emmy tells us that SHE is the high bidder. So color me chagrined.
Again, I don’t like deleting my own comments & posts, but just disregard the text in italics.
Emmy, that’s insulting.
It’s somebody who wants to HELP. Not a nub job. it’s called compassion and I don’t appreciate your insulting attitude on my blog or directed to those who just want to help people.
Oh, and FYI, you’re now on moderation on my blog. You want to come here and stir up crap or insult people, it’s going to be a waste of time. You want to argue ‘the other side’, fine. Find a more reasonable less insulting way to do it than calling some compassionate people nut jobs.
Again, I apologize. It didn’t occur to me that no one else knew who the high bidder was, and therefore wouldn’t understand my comment.
I admire what you’re doing. I’ve spent the entirety of my adult life helping the sick and disadvantaged, and gladly donate wherever I can. After the first decade or so of watching people die, I got this retarded sense of humor about life that only my fellow co-workers and patients get. In this case, it was self-deprecating.
My mom just whaps me on the head when I get snarky. Feel free to do the same, lol.
You don’t need to apologize again.
It just never occurred to me that it was you.
Regarding the weird sense of humor, I think that’s sort of typical for anybody that works with the dying a lot.
