Help Japan



Unless you live under a rock you most likely know about the Tsunmi, Earthquake and possible nuclear explosion that is going on in Japan right now. If you don't know about it just read some of these sample articles: Japan’s aging nuclear reactor hit hard, Japan Quake May Cost Insurers Up To $35 Bln -AIR Worldwide and Death toll to top 10,000 after Japan quake.

Like many other disasters, LJers have stood up to help. You can go and create an offer at [livejournal.com profile] help_japan or bid on something.

If you text RedCross to 90999 it will give $10 to the Red Cross.  The charge will show up on your wireless bill.  More information at The American Red Cross.

Question for you - you know that drawing I loaded a couple weeks ago on FB and here of my kitty? Think an offer to draw someone's dog/cat like that would go over?

And what do you think I should start it at? Or should I do a "every $30 (?) get a drawing"?

What do you think?

I think that original art drawings are always a good thought.

As for pricing, that one's totally up to you, though every $30 gets a drawing allows for more than one person to 'win' and therefore more money raised.

I like seeing posts like this, people trying to help rather than posts/videos like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UmotTE-VlY

Someone's already posted her name, address and phone number. I really, really hope she doesn't get physically hurt over this...

Oh shit, did they? I didn't see that when I watched the video. :/ Her views are extreme (past taking it too far, but this is a bit personal to me. My mother was caught in that quake but is fortunately okay), but people putting out her personal information? That's taking it too far and then some. :/ I hope she doesn't get hurt, either.

I'm glad your mom is okay, *hugs*.

Yeah, I was okay with most of the flames, but posting someone's RL info is never okay, :(.
