I don’t shake the tip jar very often because, to be perfectly honest, I don’t do Planet Karen to make money, I do it because I want to. But on the other hand, If everyone who regularly reads it chipped in five dollars a year (if I’ve got my sums right) I could actually make a living at it.
As it is, a few people now and then donate money or hit the Give Karen a Thing button and pick out something nice off my Amazon wish list, and that makes me feel happy and appreciated. And when I’ve been in real trouble and asked for help, the response has been awesome. And not awesome in the rilly cool way, but as in after two years I still find it hard to get my head around the response and support I got after my house burned down.
So I am totally not about guilting anyone into paying for my art supplies, my eyeliner, or my army of tiny daleks. Just reminding you that the tip jar is there and if you feel like dropping something in it, that would be a cool thing to do.
I haven’t heard of any of my friends ‘disappearing’ either…
I’m a regilar churchgoer. Not a beleiver, mind you, but the only bass in the choir (it’s my wife’s church – I’m agnostic, at best). The jokes were thick and fast on Sunday the 22nd. Two of the choir members didn’t show up, but we were pretty sure they weren’t the ones that would have been raptured… they’re a nice couple, but have been “living in sin” for years. Then again, maybe we had it wrong…
But the pastor had the best line – “If you think you’re disappointed to be here today, imagine how I feel…”
Nearly forgot – my wife came up with the best/worst pickup line ever for a newly single friend to use on Friday night, when we were all out drinking…
“Hey, baby – the world may not be ending tomorrow, but I can still show you the rapture tonight…”
*snorffles*
I’d find it amusing if the Rapture ever did happen and all the agnostics, atheists, pagans, and decent folk were “Ascended” leaving all the religious fanatics behind to wonder why they were Left Behind. =^-^=
I forget, did the announcement specify a time of day?
Where does it say humans are the ones Raptured? A few summers ago, we had a chicken Rapture where half the flock of 100 went missing overnight, no signs of foul play. Presumably predators but 50 chickens here and there adds up to the number of the Elect PDQ.
