I usually don't mess with saints. I had decided to buy some tall candles, though, and after i got my solid whites, I had an urge to get one of St. Martin de Porres, which had a prayer on the back about relief from poverty, and a cool picture of a guy with a cat and a dog and a broom, and was purple... so, it seemed worth 99 cents plus tax to light my bathroom. Turns out he's a pretty interesting saint:

From some of that story, he could as easily be the patron saint of fundraisers...

Taking this in an everything-is-connected sense, maybe my money problems could be solved by a combination of hard work and asking for what I want... something like that. Oh, and being kind to my cat. That's always important-- just ask him. But I will not be kind to vermin, other than to give them the option of leaving rather than being killed if it's possible to give that option...
