*deep breath*
I need $100 by Thursday. I had been counting on my monthly payout from Linkworth for the text ads I run on Table for Five, but they don’t payout unless you earn $100, and I only earned $95.00. The money will get added to my payout for next month, but I leave for BlogHer on Thursday morning.
The money will be spent on gas for the car I’m driving there and back (I’m taking 2 other people down and 3 people back, but once the tank of gas the car is delivered with is gone, we’ll have to chip in to refill it), lunch on the way there and back, tips for the doorman and any necessary cab rides, and if I have enough, a souvenir BlogHer t-shirt which they’ve never had before.
$100 might not even be enough but I feel bad enough asking for help as it is. I’d also like to point out that while this blog does have text link advertisers, the amounts they are willing to pay are not large, and the money I received for those ads this month has unfortunately already been spent. On the mortgage payment. And keeping my kids in Cheerios.
So, my dear readers, I’m asking for your help. I know money is tight for everyone, anything you can donate is greatly appreciated. It used to be commonplace for blogs to have “Tip Jars” but that practice fell out of favor a few years ago. Since I have a PayPal account and a debit card I can use to access the money, I’ve created a PayPal donate button. You can transfer money from your PayPal account to mine, or pay with a credit card.
OR…you can ask me to DO STUFF FOR MONEY! That’s right, thanks to PayPal, you can send me money BUT I have to agree to do something in exchange. Click the link, type in your name, my name and the dollar amount, then fill in your PayPal address and my PayPal address, which is elizabeth(at)table4five(dot)net.
What am I willing to do for your money? Write posts, review sites, post text link ads or button ads (length of ad would depend on amount paid), whatever you can come up with that’s appropriate for a family-friendly blog 
I’ll answer potentially embarrassing questions, help you with WordPress problems, just name it.
I really hope those of you who are regular readers know how hard it was for me to write this and how grateful I will be for any donations. BlogHer is the most important conference I go to all year, every year I come back having learned something that adds value to my blog and having made new friends and contacts that often turn into long-term relationships. The vendors I meet at this conference could be the giveaway sponsors of next month!
I’ll close this by saying thank you in advance for anything you can do to help.

I just sent you an email. I’ll buy $100 of banner ads on your site. And I look forward to meeting you at BlogHer this week!
As much as I like helping people, I have not even a penny on my wallet now. I just spent it all on french fries. McDonald’s just hypnotized me again. T_T
But hopefully you’d be able to collect the money that you need.
I sent an email as well, hopefully you received it.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Jennifer

We love you Elizabeth! You have mail
Thank you for the list of advices!I’m sure you have fun doing this, but it is not something I would advise my readers to partake in!
Um, NO! NO money for you! Just because you may possibly receive a PayPal donation from me doesn’t mean I did it on purpose. I do lots of weird things such as: forget why I got up from my comfy spot on the sofa; forget what I was planning to do as I walked upstairs; toss a small donation to some blogging chick. I don’t even remember her name
Just because I may have (may have not) sent a small amount of bills to some PayPal account doesn’t mean I like you or anything. I, um, just read your blog because I’m amused (only a little) and enjoy (only a tiny bit) laughing with (at) you.
I’ll probably forget to hope you get the funds you need, Whatsyername, and forget to wish you a safe trip and a fun time.
I’ve totally lost my train of thought here so I’m going off somewhere to do something else.

were you able to come up with the money? I wish I could help, but I tried in another way. ie looking at ads. It sucks, sometimes you can make a killing off ads and others it takes many months to make anything off it.
Please re-direct any donations to me
cos I wanna go….
