Got some love? Pam’s House Blend could use your sweetness right now.
November 22, 2010
If you read Pam’s House Blend, then you know that Pam Spaulding is a gem. And now she needs our help. As Karen Ocamb wrote this morning, “Influential blogger Pam Spaulding of Pam’s House Blend is going into the hospital today to undergo surgery. It is not life-threatening – but it is painful and costly. She is taking unpaid medical leave and she and her wife Kate have to dip into their savings for the next couple of months. Having influence is not the same as having money.”
If you have a few extra coins to help Pam out right now, click here. Meanwhile, check out Jeremy’s post from earlier today, cross-posted at Good As You. — Eden
By Jeremy Hooper
Three or four times a year, this writer is lucky enough to see and spend time with one Ms. Pam Spaulding. Be it a panel, speaking gig, conference, or simply a night out for Indian food in midtown Manhattan, every time Pam and I are lucky enough to get back in the same physical room together, we easily pick up the conversation right where we left it. Because she’s just one of those people — a sincere greeter, active listener, and never-ending idea well with all the makings on an easy, pleasurable conversationalist. To both me and my husband, Pam’s become like that awesome cousin who we don’t get to see nearly enough, but whose every-so-often pop-ins always provide a welcome surprise (kind of the the same way we feel about Amy Farrah Fowler on the current season of “The Big Bang Theory” — a guest star who raises the regular cast’s game).
But today, I’m going to ask you all to help me send some of this good mojo back Pam’s way. Love, thoughts, prayers, Facebook messages, or whatever postive vibe-maker you might use in your own life: Pam’s having surgery this AM, so both she and wife Kate would certainly appreciate any early holiday cheer you can e-blast in their direction.
Or if you’re someone who prefers to put a dollar sign with those vibes, there are certainly a ton of ancillary expenses that Pam and Kate are going to incur while everyone’s favorite blogmistress rests and recuperates. Those wishing to make donations can do so via Paypal, or via the following physical addy:
Pam’s House Blend
105 West Hwy 54, Suite 265,
Box #113,
Durham, NC 27713
Whatever you do, be sure to keep some thought space directed towards North Carolina. Pam’s such a vibrant part of this digital LGBT family that we’ve collectively created. We’re a family that has to stick together through the victories and the setbacks — the champagne toasts and the life annoyances.

Pam, we will look around and see what we can take to Durham for you. And we will bring you a copy of the wedding DVD to help you feel better faster.

Stop by on your way. Maybe we can send her some love via the Jerni-express.

PS" Thom comes home from Russia today! (Yeah!) I will be leaving mid-December… maybe if I get enough shout-outs (here and facebook) I will record it all for everyone… after all, this is where we met and fell in love! (You know, no matter how many times I say it, that still sound really odd to me.)

Thanks Kathleen. I am most curious about the newest email 'Filed appearance notice of. Richard B. Rosenthal for amicus curiae Justice Donald B. King and The American Academy of Matriomonial Lawyers.'
20.
Kathleen | November 23, 2010 at 4:54 am
It's just a notice that attorney Richard B. Rosenthal will be representing the named amici curiae in the case. I think this means that this attorney will be present in the courtroom during arguments.

Hey Pam! Here is some love coming at you, with hopes for a speedy recovery!

Does he get to speak?
23.
Kathleen | November 23, 2010 at 6:01 am
It's up to the parties whether they want to give any of their time for the amicis' reps to speak. So far, none have indicated that will be happening. Other than that, they would only speak if the judges address a question to them and I think that's unlikely.

Is the Kate he mentioned the Kate who posts on p8tt?

All about NOM…. http://sdgln.com/causes/2010/11/23/anti-gay-nom-e…
Showing their true colors…..but, here's how I look at it. That may infact be a good thing to the people on the fence, u know?
27.
Kathleen | November 23, 2010 at 6:20 am
I agree – the more they show who they really are, the more marginalized they'll become.

When I click on the link to send Pam some cash I get a PayPal error saying 'unable to complete previous transaction'. Could I get a link that will take me to her account or however that works? Thanks. I'm a long time skulker here and reading you guys always makes me smile!
