Not so helpless after all!

Hey, all! So here I am again in the same evening, this time with the second link I want to tell you about.  

I think all of us have experienced someone near and dear being on the transplant list.  And while all attention and energy is placed on hope and prayers for a viable organ becoming available and then being accepted by the recipient's body, the rest of life still marches on whether we are paying any attention to it or not.  


And part of that life that's still marching on while we're stunned to motionlessness is finance and the growing mountain of debt accumulating at a wreckless pace due to all the medical expenses not covered by insurance and such.  

Nothing we can do about it, right?  WRONG!  We now CAN do something. IGive.com is striving to help ease this problem at least a little. Each time someone goes to the over 700 sites via IGive, a penny goes to the transplant fund of the designated recipient.  Any purchase also gives a percentage to the fund.  Linked sites include Sears, JCPenney's, Target, QVC, HSN, EBay and Barnes & Noble.  There are also lots of coupons and offers.  It's truly a win-win. 


The link I'm providing is targeted for the son-in-law of a friend, and I'd appreciate it so much if you'd go there, install the toolbar and then click on at least one of the links each day.  

IGive to help Matt!  Thank you!

I send you smiles!

Group Deal at Artfire!

Hey, all! 

Shock! While it being my "normal routine" to post once in a great long while, I think tonight I will post twice!  There are two links I want to pass on to you.  Both have time constraints, and I want to get both to you without delay.  They are so far removed in subject matter, however, that I will post them separately.  


This first is of lesser importance from the standpoint of making a change in the world.  It can, however, make a chance in your life (and mine) if enough people sign up for the offer.  

I'm assuming that y'all are familiar with Artfire.  It's a venue much like Etsy, concentrating on handmade goods, artwork and artistry as well as vintage goods.  It's newer than Etsy (although older than Zibbet), and it's soon to come out of Beta.  Corresponding with that and a desire to make a great splash in the marketplace, lifetime Pro Memberships are being offered at an incredible price ($5.95/month) if 20,000 sign up for them to comprise a "group."  Once the 20,000 requests have been reached, the memberships for all will be activated.  It's really too good an offer to pass if you are selling these goods online or even if you've been thinking about giving it a try.  Here's a link to check it out and sign up.  I encourage you to do so!  

Group Deal at Artfire!

Very Cool!

Hello, all!

Several weeks ago (or months, perhaps!), a friend sent me this website; and I've had it open and waiting to post here since then.  :P

NEWSPAPER KNITTING! 


Please enjoy the site!  You will notice that it's a man working the knitting ... and although I know how to do this process, I would not undertake it except on a very small scale as it is cumbersome and heavy -- requiring the strength of a man versus that of a woman.  Also note that he's got gigantic needles, and I'd need to have those created specifically for this work.  

It's very cool, though; and I thought you'd enjoy seeing it!
