The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (Or I get a freezing bucket of icewater dumped on my head).



So, I was challenged by author Michelle Madow (also Leon Regenberg and blogger Elise Carstairs) to do the Ice Bucket challenge.  Nothing more to say, really, except I hope Katie McGarry, Adi Alisaid, and my editor Natashya Wilson have as much fun as I did.  ;-P

Here we go!

  1. I do not even understand how I finished up right here, however I thought this publish was good. I don’t realize who you are but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger for those who aren’t already Cheers!

  3. No offense meant, but I personally think this challenge is stupid (don't criticize me, please, I'm just saying what I think and I'm trying to be polite about it. If I'm not, I apologize), but of course it's for the good cause, so why not? It's good to know you had fun doing it, Julie.
    Love,

    1. You're right , but compare this to many other challanges or other trends (which aren't for a good cause) ... so this is not that stupid/crazy if you compare .;-)
      (No critic ;-))

    2. I agree, which is why I said that since it's for a good cause, why not. I'm just thinking about the ways this could go wrong (and, believe me, there are, and it's already gone wrong, here, in France).
      So I'm not saying Julie shouldn't have done this (or anyone else, for that matter). I was just expressing my opinion while acknowledging this challenge might have been a good idea. I really wasn't trying to start an argument.
      And thanks for expressing your opinion too.

    4. Well, doing the ice bucket challenge has become a trend and people tend to do extremely stupid in those cases (and completely forget the original goal of the challenge, sadly). There's that one guy who got liquid nitrogen instead of a bucket of icewater and he was sent to the hospital. His brain might have been severely damaged. I haven't checked the news about him since I think it's his own fault for being this stupid, but that's the thing that shocked me most.

  4. Nice Challange , Julie !...

    ..

    Ok-sorry if I am using this comment to tell something to you (also julie) ... I've red so many texts about the readers if your Blood of Eden series ... and lots of people (also myself) would like to read something more about Kanin and his life (his apperiance was a bit too short)...
    I just wanted to say that ...
    (Of course you could write your opinion in the reply ...)
    Bye bye !

    1. Aye that. A novella or two on Kanin and on Jackal would be nice. Especially Jackal. He always makes me laugh.

  9. play bazaar While the Internet is a 24/7/365 kind of place, you can still make money thinking seasonally. After a major holiday, like Christmas, buy as much holiday decor and related items when they are on clearance. Save the merchandise for nine or ten months and then resell when demand is high again. Some families store entire warehouses full of holiday yard inflatables for substantial profits a year later. satta king

    Every user can update the honda navigation system with ease. All you have to do is follow some basic instructions, and you can update the honda Navi by yourself. Most of the time, customers ask whether their updates are free or paid.

    We want to inform you that all Honda Navi updates are free of cost most of the time. A few times, the updates are paid if you have an older honda vehicle. Many times consumers end up paying a good amount of money to the local dealers. We want to inform you that you can get the updates for yourself without paying any additional fees or charges if you can follow some basic steps.
