Begging is begg(in)ing.

To Dave...

You don't insult me, I just can't stand the thought of the "me too" reaction-ripple that this is likely to have on my aggregator.

I do agree with Roy when he says that we shouldn't judge the circumstances of others, and I certainly don't - even for a second - claim to know who you are of what has led you to think that the conference needs you there.  I guess that I'd leave it up to you and your company (#242 on the Fortune 500 I believe) to decide that.

Anyways, while on the subject of begging I need to replace the old wooden bridge over my creek and the in-ground pool needs a new liner.  On top of that, the piano needs tuning and I think that I'm going to struggle to make the payments on my new laptop next month.  If you'd like to lend a hand, click the button below:
