The Kidney Foundation has a lot of thrift stores you can donate your used items to that helps people that need dialysis.  I always give whatever it is that I think I don’t need anymore to them.  Then there’s one charity that a lot of people don’t think of.  I love to go to my local Disabled American Veterans post or DAV and play bingo.  They do so much for disabled veterans and the families of deployed active duty soldiers too.  That’s what the money goes to help with.

Bingo for Charity not only helps others but is also fun too.  You get to meet a lot of interesting people while having fun.  I haven’t ever played online bingo but if it helps those less fortunate, I just might have to check into it.  After all, we need to help each other, you know.  The DAV does just that too.

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head. In a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”

The biker pulled over and said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.”

The Lord said, “Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.”

The biker thought about it for a long time…. Finally, he said, “Lord, I wish that I, and all men, could understand our wives; I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy.”

The Lord replied, “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”

God be with his loving wife Lisa Nieme and his family because they have lost a family member where we lost a great entertainer.  Rest in peace Patrick and you will not be forgotten!!!

Like I said, I don’t see what the big deal is when there are so many men that take it like Bob Dole for instance.  I admire him for standing up and admitting he uses the product.  There are several health reason why men get ED including medications they may be on or illnesses like Diabetes.  Even Rush Limbaugh admitted to taking it.  In fact, there seems to be a long line of famous people that use Viagra like Paul McCartney, James Caan, and even Enrique Iglesias.  You don’t have to be an elderly gentleman to use it either considering Enrique is only 34 I believe.  I guess it’s the ‘manly’ thing that gets in their way but I say ‘Great’ to those able to admit it.  There’s no shame in it at all.

Since Mom got her own computer, she has found great Vacation Rental Deals online so we don’t have to worry so much about the cost of our accommodations like we used to.   The trip can be rather costly if you don’t shop around and my mother is the best at finding deals for us.  I guess that’s part of why we are so careful with our money too.  I feel like a little girl looking forward to Christmas or her birthday because I’m looking so forward to this trip.  It’s our time with our mother and time is so very precious.  ‘Enjoy it while you still can’ is my mothers motto.  Mine too pretty much!!!

I really hope all of you have a safe and happy Labor Day.  Enjoy!!!!
