		<description>DONATE TO THE TIM

However, this kind of reminds me of the Bible where the rich elite Pharisees made sure their coins clinked in the church offering bowl in public, while the poor lady gave her food money in secret ans was blessed even more.

I&#039;ve done United Way charity drives before and some hardly gave at all, some gave lots; but a good percentage that hardly gave at all were already tithing at their church or other non-profit organization well beyond the rest....that&#039;s why we keep gift giving secret. It prevents bad feelings too.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;45594&#039;,&#039;softwarengineer&#039;,&#039;&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;45594&#039;,&#039;softwarengineer&#039;,&#039;DONATE TO THE TIM\r\n\r\nHowever, this kind of reminds me of the Bible where the rich elite Pharisees made sure their coins clinked in the church offering bowl in public, while the poor lady gave her food money in secret ans was blessed even more.\r\n\r\nI\&#039;ve done United Way charity drives before and some hardly gave at all, some gave lots; but a good percentage that hardly gave at all were already tithing at their church or other non-profit organization well beyond the rest....that\&#039;s why we keep gift giving secret.

		<description>tim,

i really think you should consider adding more advertising to your site.  i&#039;m surprised at how little you have.  i think you can pull it off because you are so content rich and have established a large regular base of hits.  i visit mlbtraderumors.com and that site is littered with ads.  but it doesnt bother me because he is constantly updating.  it&#039;s just a thought.  i know that you put a lot of work into this site and you should be getting money for it.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;45580&#039;,&#039;peter&#039;,&#039;&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;45580&#039;,&#039;peter&#039;,&#039;tim,\r\n\r\ni really think you should consider adding more advertising to your site.  i\&#039;m surprised at how little you have.  i think you can pull it off because you are so content rich and have established a large regular base of hits.  i visit mlbtraderumors.com and that site is littered with ads.  but it doesnt bother me because he is constantly updating.  it\&#039;s just a thought.  i know that you put a lot of work into this site and you should be getting money for it.&#039;,&#039;&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Quote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
