Shawn, Mel? What’s with the ad spots?

I know, I know. I said earlier this year in my Pay Per Post entry that I wouldn’t clutter up 2phatgeeks with advertisements. That I would resist the urge to blast all of you guys with Google banner ads, ad sense ads, ads about ads and some ads with text ads.
And that promise holds 100% true, but, things have happened.
These things are generally filed under life and having a life with a sick cat.
Some of you who follow my live journal know that our Cat, Raven, was recently diagnosed with diabetes and has just come home as well as recovered from three days in and out of the Vet’s for blood curves. What some of you may not know is how much that totaled.
Nearly 700$ dollars in vet bills.
Sure, some of you might not agree with spending that much on an animal. That’s ok, its your right to do so, but Shawn and I are more than willing to do what we can. Sadly, the Veterinarian does not think that diabetes is the only thing wrong with her. That its an underlying symptom of a bigger issue and possibly Cushing’s disease.
Our Land Beast, Raven
I’ll spare you the details as to why after all that was spent this year, its chomping us solidly in the ass. Suffice to say we can’t afford to treat her further. We can only give her insulin for now and keep an eye on her blood curves and with mounting every day bills (like everyone else!) topped with the Vet bills. I would have gone the PPP route, but Payperpost.com has been dry as a bone lately. I refuse to write up on credit cards, psychics, another repeat of dream vacations or any of the pity offerings which have nothing to do really, with Shawn and I or what 2phatgeeks is about. Thus, hopefully, sparing you from the horror of me talking out of my blowhole about something I know nothing about. Something had to give!
And so, I gave. Just a little.
So for now, 2phatgeeks will offer just a modest 2 125×125 ad spaces within our side bar for 25$ a month and see how it goes. I hope you guys won’t mind.
It was either this, or get Shawn to flash his boobs on web cam.
