Charity Comes From the Heart

My sister’s husband and his co-workers are always getting involved with some sort of community service or a fundraising activity. Like at Christmas, they all pitched in and adopted a local low income family to supply all kinds of goods to help them get through the Holiday Season easier and they say that you can always find a booklet or two or pamphlets in the break room for people to order things for some type of fundraising for their kids from school, church, or sports.

I think that it is a very good positive attitude to have when there are so many people out there that need help. Their latest approach is in a lupus fundraising attempt, in which they have gone “high tech” and have enlisted the assistance of the World Wide Web through a company called Firstgiving, the link to their home page being Firstgiving.com. Firstgiving makes it possible for anybody to raise money on-line for any cause that they see fit to. You actually go on-line and make your own on-line fundraising page that can then be emailed to people to enlist them into giving an on-line donation. I find this whole idea fascinating and couldn’t wait to bring it up on our PC at home. And when I did bring up the site I really was impressed with what I saw, and I would encourage anybody to check it out also, it is a site that is full of good positive things, we need more of these, don’t you agree.

The reason for choosing this horrible disease by the name of Lupus, apparently is because one of the top management guys has a teen-age daughter inflicted with this health issue and he is very popular with all of the workers and they want to show him their respect by coordinating this fundraiser because of his daughter. I wish them all the luck in the world and give them nothing less than respect that they so highly deserve for their efforts.

Tanning Beds

Having a nice tan is the least of my concerns, I spend so much time outside tending the to farm and the animals, I found that I have darkened a few shades since I took over the place just last year. Although I have to admit that from the waist down I am pretty darn pale, wickedly so. Guess I’ll have to start wearing some shorts at times come next summer in an effort to even up some, but I’ll always have white feet, you’ll not see me any where on this property with out good shoes or boots on. Too many things that could hurt a person’s foot in this type of environment.

Of course I could always make use of a Tanning Bed, they are very popular these days, from what I understand. Out of curiosity I was browsing through some tanning bed sites, just for grins and giggles. There are such a variety of these tanning beds that are available to look and choose from online. The nicest ones that I found were the Wolff Tanning Beds on Hometanningbed.com, where they advertise “Tanning Cures the Winter Blahs” and offer home and commercial Tanning Beds as well. Pretty cool items that technology has produced for us in order to deepen our skin color with.

I don’t know if there is a tanning bed salon in any of the towns that are anywhere close by here, I may just have to stick my feet out in the sun for a bit each day or just deal with it.
