Just Checking

Some of the issues on the blog here are a tad bit confusing. Just looking to see if some of the things I have done are working.

Give The Gift

This is the season...the season for giving. A time of love and good cheer. How many of those gifts will still be valid a month from now? A year? Beyond the tangible items like stereos and electronics for the kiddies (even the big kids) and dollar items you get for relatives many of us get caught up in the quick gifts of chocolates, or food items that, while nice, don't really have a lasting value.

How about something that will give for months? If there's someone on your list that you might otherwise give a gift certificate to, or maybe a little goody basket, what about making a charitable donation in their name? Something that will give that warm cozy feeling while beneifiting many others at the same time?

Breast Cancer 3 day has a great thing going. Make a donation to a team of walkers and you will be making a donation that gives in a much more significant way than spreading the bottoms of your loved ones.

Even if you don't do it in someone else's name, consider the benefits of giving something back and do it for yourself.

To find out about one such wonderful team click here

Or go here to the 3 day organization directly to find out what it's all about, and how you can join a team of your own.

Make a difference and give something back along the way!

By George, I think I've got it

...not only that, but I think I DO like the new blogger version. The sidebar html was easy as pie compared to the old way of doing things. Now the only challenge is to figure out how to put a custom header in here like I had on my old blogger blog.

Give Me A Minute

Wow, when you pick minimalist dark, you get DARK. You get Black! Okay, trying just plain old minimalist. It will probably take me a bit to get comfy with all the extras on here too being different from the old blogger a bit. I need to create my sidebars and stuff, so bear with me.

That Was A Quickie

Whew, changed that template fast. All those dots were about to drive me to the optomitrist. Let's try the VERY minimalist.

Welcome to the Low Down

Welcome to my new blog on blogger where I'll do my best to give my honest and truthful opinion on -- well everything as it comes up. I decided to go with a light and airy look for this blog, my first created directly in the new google blogger. Hope you like it, and we can have some fun along the way.
