Who would have thunk it, both Neal and Steve making the news. Neal for spending $10K on knickers for his 'housewife' and Steve for raising $10K for Cancer w/ one phone call.........

Sorry Deb- didn't know it was for Cancer when I posted. I just saw the "Win a call from Steve Perry" deal. Our company blocks Ebay, so I just went by the original post which looked like "Win a Call from Me for $10,200" which seemed ridiculous. No mention of the cause there when I replied.
Speaking of this- great idea: Went grocery shopping yesterday. They had kids there that would scoop out your pumpkin for a donation to fight cancer. That was a pretty original idea. We had them do two or ours while we shopped.
We came out and handed them $10.00 saying "Is this enough of a donation for this?" They said "Oh yeah, most people are giving us a dollar". We gave them $20.00 more dollars. Really? A dollar?!!!

That's my bad for not mentioning the fact that the whole thing is for charity. I apologize for that. And you're right... taken at face value, my post makes it seem like SP is whoring out his celebrity to make some extra bucks and that clearly isn't the case.
I'll reserve my thoughts and comments about people who are willing to pay that kind of money just to speak to SP on the phone. Don't get me wrong, It's admirable that the people who are "in it to win it - no matter how much" are really stepping up by supporting this very worthy cause. I wonder if they will be making that same donation if they aren't the winning bidder.
To each their own...
Regarding the pumpkin scraping and gutting.... What a great idea! I'd GLADLY pay $10.00 to have it done. Maybe it's just me but the guts of a pumpkin irritate my arms and hands really bad. Every Halloween I come away with a rash that burns like crazy all over my forearms and hands after cleaning out the pumpkins with the kids.

LOL, no biggie Bry, somebody's gotta smack ya around a bit and this week I guess it's me.![]()
And that's a helluva good idea from those kids. I hate cleaning out the pumpkins, so much so, that I quit doing them a few years ago. I would gladly donate for that. A dollar? Shame on them!

Had I known it was for charity, I'd not've made the comment. YEAH totally great and original idea. I think I liked that part of it as much as what it was going to.
