We were contacted by Thinking of Rob today for support in helping their staffer and friend Shannon aka @Schelmy whose husband was injured. Here are the details,

A few weeks ago I posted how Shannon, someone who has been helping ToR and has been part of ToR from the start, was going through a rough time. Her husband fell through a skylight 25 feet to the ground. He survived but had many injuries and required various surgeries. You can see the original post here. I’ve seen pictures of her husband which I will not post because they are way too graphic.

Unfortunately they were in the process of renewing their insurance when this happened and a few days before the accident, their insurance ran out… Shannon received her 1st hospital bill this week. It’s 136,000.00$ US. This is the first of many bills. For this family, this could mean losing it all. Shannon is one of the most caring and sweetest persons I know. She always puts herself out there to help out everyone. Now it’s our turn to do the same for her. If you were in New York City at the Water for Elephants Premiere you might have met her. She was with us.

If you can help out any way possible by making a small donation, we will forward all the money to Shannon. A small bit sometimes goes a long way. Feel free to repost this on your sites. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

In the coming week we’ll be auctioning off items to help Shannon. If you’d like to donate something Rob related for auction please e-mail us at thinkingofrob@hotmail.com

DreamySim1 will be auctioning a special wallpaper or banner for someone and we have some signed items to auction off as well.

For Americans, back on September 11th 2001, this date today has new meaning. Innocent lives of all races, faiths, socioeconomic status, etc…. were lost to a enormous tragedy orchestrated by a few intolerant, hateful individuals. On this 10th year anniversary, I would like to think that Rob’s portrayal of Tyler in “Remember Me” has brought in a new generation of young Americans (and those abroad) to appreciate those who were lost that day just doing the regular things that you and I take for granted. Please take a moment to look at those around you today and appreciate every moment because in an instant, this opportunity may be gone.

During the 1pm-2pm hour EST, Spunk-Ransom.com will be participating in a 1 hour of e-silence in reverence and respect to all who have been touched in the last 10 years by the horrific loss of human life on 9/11/01 in The United States of America. I would like to thank The Twilight Fandom Remembers 9/11/01 for creating this opportunity for the Twilight Fandom and related websites to do their parts online to honor this day.

I would now like to share with you a play written by my brother Justin Rielly about 9-11. It has been a year in the making but a labor of love. He has taken the time to write a personal introduction to this play that was inspired by close family, friends, and even some of you. Without further ado, a special introduction from my brother and playwright Justin Rielly,

Last December, while hanging out with the local theater group I write for, I realized the significance of the year to come. I realized 9/11 was going to hit its 10th anniversary in 2011. I had talked to Heather, the director of the group, about wanting to write a project based on 9/11. She liked the idea, and told me to go with it.

After some time deciding on what the play would be about, I set out to talk to people I knew – family members, co-workers, former classmates, friends, and some random people connected with my sister’s website (Spunk-Ransom.com). Nearly two dozen people contributed their stories and thoughts about where they were on that day in 2001, how they felt then, and how they felt now nearly a decade after the tragedy.

Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control – including timing – no stage production of American Enigma was planned in time for the 10th anniversary. Maybe someday, at another point, it can be.

I originally planned to send the script over to the people who contributed their stories, which I was able to do. Then Kristin decided to ask me to post the script for her Spunk-Ransom.com faithful. After careful thought and deliberation, I decided to present the script as it is in its current state. I hope this is a good play for you to check out, and I hope many of the tales told about 9/11 serve as a reminder of how we should never forget that day – no matter how much we yearn to do so, or want to not forget.

That time of year is rapidly approaching when we have to pay our yearly renewal fees to keep Spunk-Ransom.com open for another year! Our yearly renewal fee is $119.40! SMALL CHANGE folks! However, we also have monthly private server costs fees ranging from $15-35 a month (or more).

Our goal is to raise $300 NOW $400 WOAH NOW $500! LAST INCREASE! This gives us our yearly renewal fee, the minimum on private server costs! In a world where money grows on trees, I would love to raise $500 to cover the maximum monthly private server costs for the year but…. (lol) Anyways, just like last year, we are going to award our highest donor with a gift!

(Open Worldwide!)

Just in time for the “Water for Elephants” DVD!

Not only that but you will also receive two special gifts from two of my current staff members!

Our *NEW* Updated version with Twilight Malaysia!

A definite must-have for any serious fan of actor Robert Pattinson. To celebrate his birthday on May 13th the iconic way!

“We all know the fan’s birthday cake with the edible picture of Rob<3 or the twilight-something poster. Nice (… sometimes :-~) But don’t you think our beloved Rob<3 deserves something more? More special? More original? Something as iconic as he is? Here comes these gorgeous French chocolates, created by a fan for fans. OK, I confess: I’m as robsessed as I’m chocoholic. So it was somewhat inevitable… My advice? Preorder your Rob box without wasting a minute. Only 50 creations are released worldwide.”

GlamGirlFG, the artist (Paris)

Description: the box of artisan/gourmet chocolates code-named ‘Roblicious 25′ (‘R25′) is a fan initiative to celebrate Rob’s 25th birthday

Code name: Roblicious 25 (‘R25′)

Theme: a gourmet tribute to Rob’s beauty & filmography. Imagine Kris (Grrr…) lost her smartphone in a bar and you came accross it by chance…

Main benefits:

[ + ] rob-centric, with lots of hints and winks
[ + ] never seen before, unique
[ + ] taking benefit of the iconic process – making the reputation of our chocolate partner from season to season – to celebrate Rob’s talent and outstanding elegance
(…and also: as tasty as they are healthy, being certified organic)

In the box: 20 gourmet chocolates handmade in France. All the chocolates are certified organic and fair trade. The edible icons are created one by one then set by hand, as a jeweller would do!

Flavors: 4 classic flavors, out of these possibilities = roasted hazelnuts, pure cocoa Ecuador, pure cocoa Santo Domingo, coffee, caramel, roasted almonds, coconuts

Creator: French fan and digital artist GlamGirlFG

Strictly Limited Edition: only 50 boxes will be released worlwide. Each box will come with a unique serial number (last chocolate icon on the right, figure next to the “R”. For instance, twelfth creation on the preview.)

Delivery date: in most countries, just in time for May 13th
