Yes, I'm procrastinating again

Before I buckle down and work on my last assignments of the semester, I wanted to share a couple of things. First, here's a way for each and every one of us to do good without even budging from our computers. Go to http://freerice.com/index.php and play the word game that comes up. For each correct answer the sponsors will donate 20 grains of rice to fight world hunger. The donations are paid for by ads on the site, they don't ask for monetary donations. So far something like 50,000 tons of rice have been donated as a result of people taking a few minutes and getting involved. Plus it's pretty fun too, especially if you're a word wonk like me.

Laugh for the day (something I read recently): I tripped on an escalator and fell down the stairs for an hour and a half.

Now I REALLY have to get on to writing that paper for school!

One last thought: some time back I recommended visiting a blog located at www.marmitetoasty.blogspot.com. Well, the wonderfully funny lady who writes this blog recently underwent knee replacement surgery, and she has documented it all in her inimitable fashion. If you have time and want a few laughs, pop on over to her site, read her blog and wish her a speedy recovery.

Peace,
AuntieM

Thanks MT! I finished my papers and exams, so now I can play on the blogs!

Yes, I read the post before, what a nightmare in the hospital. Shame you couldn't get transferred to the Army ward, would've been much more fun!

Thanks Bluesky! There's so much we can all do to help others, sometimes without even leaving our computers.
