I think many folks prefer to donate without making a public statement or being rewarded with a prize for it. That's cool.ChefJCarey wrote:What's interesting to me is the absence of some of the regulars here on the list. Hey, you can prove a negative!

Many people prefer not to make public any giving they do
Some people made their contributions before we started this thread-they didn't need to be prompted.
Some people have no interest in the raffle prizes, so didn't send in info
Others might have personal circumstances that prevent them from giving right now
I personally believe you can determine nothing about someone from their not being on this thread.

COW AND THE DONKEY
The Hodja had a little stable and a nice donkey. He hadn't wanted to buy a cow, because his donkey would be disturbed and he hadn't much money neither. But his wife wanted to have a cow and she convinced him at last.
The Hodja couldn't stand against his wife, so he bought a cow and put it in the stable. But the stable was small and they couldn't stay quiet in it. The Hodja who got tired of that said:
“Dear God, kill this cow and save my donkey”.
A few days later the Hodja entered the stable and saw the dead donkey and the living cow.
“Dear God”, he said. “You have been God for so many years but still, you cannot distinguish a cow from a donkey!”
