In April I asked that you all participate in my 5 word reviews by adding 5 words of your own. For each review posted I would contribute $1 to charity. When we reach $100 the person who contributed the most reviews would get to choose the charity. Well, we are up to $99 and I’d like to get that check out! So, please contribute your reviews (list here). Since I’ve still got the holiday spirit I’ll keep contributing $1 for a week, even if we go over $100.
