Where's All the Stuff?

Stuff Kitty says:  You do not need more stuff!

With all the talk lately of our funding campaign, I thought I'd take a minute to discuss with you the "perks" we're offering to all you lovely backers. You may have noticed, being the smart little giving green hearts that you are, that other funding campaigns have a lot more tangible stuff to give away. And why not? After all, people like stuff. And, while at some point in the future we may offer more tangible TGCG stuff you can purchase, we thought that, right off the bat, we'd like to start off on a different foot. And here's why:

Monsoon Season and a Call for a Little Help from Our Friends

It's the equivalent of monsoon season here in Green Country. Everywhere, people are exclaiming that, even as temps soar toward the 90s, we are finally out of drought conditions for the first time in... well... a long, long time. The tradeoff is a state hit hard with tornadoes. Lives have been lost. Pets are displaced. Property damage is into the multiple millions of dollars. We've been through hell, I won't lie. And many are going through hell still. Just because the media's attention has turned to other things, doesn't mean the rebuilding stops or that people aren't still trying to piece their lives back together. There is a lot of work still to be done for those hit hardest by these chaotic storms. And we hold you all in our hearts and prayers as we make our donations and make our journeys to come to your aid in any way we can.

A Little Introduction

The first lines of a blank page.  This is always the hardest part, it seems--the introduction.

Many of you have been following TGCG on facebook, so we're not really strangers, are we?  No, I suppose not.  For those of you who haven't been following along, my name is Angela, but I shall henceforth be signing off on these posts with the pretentious title, "the green guardian" (no caps, so as to depretentiousize it), because I like it and it fits and I think you'll forgive me.  Call me a gambler.  I am a little.
