Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Pretty good. I still don't get the premise of it all, but donations are skyrocketing and that's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I think it's a good thing too and it's fun to watch the videos. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It draws attention and gets money flowing. That is good for almost any research project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Howdy, Back when the internet got started at work we were warned about wasting time and in particular chain letters. We were told that forwarding them would get us fired. This smacks of the chain letter and sure it works for ONE charity but how many more are going to jump on the wagon? Careful what you start.

Yul Lose Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I'll make a donation but call me a curmudgeon if you want. We are in a severe drought out here and to waste water like that just rubs me the wrong way. I'm facing stiff fines if they catch me washing my car, or see water spraying on the street from an errant sprinkler. I'll pass on the water wasting.

Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Well, I have ALS. Had it since sometime in 2006, shot CAS until last Nov. it affects people in different ways, me it's slow. I can still get around mostly. IDO appreciate what people are doing, but living in California I wouldn't waste the water, other places maybe. Like most people ALS was pretty much unknown to me until I needed to know, other than Steven Hawking. Yule Lose you ARE a curmudgeon!

DocWard Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I did it earlier today and finally got the video up on facebook. I can see not doing it where water is scarce. That isn't an issue with us. We've had plenty of rain this year, and plenty today. I got my drenching during a dry period. Here is a video, which I mention in my own video. It sort of puts things into perspective: http://qpolitical.com/ice-bucket-challenge-end-like-rest-gotta-see/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the research into this terrible disease will shift into high gear and that soon there will be an answer and a cure. Keep up the fight MDJ, you are a good man.

Sedalia Dave Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think it's a good thing too and it's fun to watch the videos. GG The videos where things don't go as planned are better. As long as no one gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
