A few of us are making a donation to the American Cancer Society in memory of Mr. C and on behalf of [livejournal.com profile] aglarien1. It is very easy to do this and is a living gift in the fight against cancer.



You might see a few more of these banners on the flist and you can make your own donations here:

This is the first time I have made this kind of contribution in someone's name but it feels like the right thing to do.

I donated my old iMac to a classroom teacher and she is using it for her in class computer. I was a school teacher for a few years so I know how hard it is to be without one in the classroom. Well they have put it in there and they are using it. This is the letter I got today. It made me feel really good about what I did. Hurrah.


Jane:

I just wanted to give you an update. M*** called me yesterday and told me that when she turned on your iMac, it made some kind of noise that her classroom computer never made. When it fired up, all the kids were clapping and cheering!

You've made a tremendous difference in one 6th. grade class. Your iMac is better than anything the school has for the teachers!

Thank you so much for all your help and your very generous donation!

Donating to schools and educators is a very worthwhile thing to do.

Well, not really, *cough*. But they did take my old Jetta away. Old Bessie, the old clunker. It was an 88 Jetta four door and only one door opened but still. It was mines. I have bought a new car, well a new used car and this one had been sitting in the driveway for two months while I waited for the title from the DM-frigging-V *curses*. I donated it to the synogogue up the street. Well I got all the appropriate paperwork last week, made all the calls and they came and took my baby away! *cri* I mean, I have driven that car since I moved here in 1994. *cri* It is the end of an era. *contemplates nature of existence*

So of course, I took pictures of the event! These are from yesterday. *picspam follows*

Towed away to Pick and Pull...R.I.P )

I bet it is dismembered and being sold for parts now. *meep* Oh the memories.
