VACUOUS VS VIRTUOUS (Part 2)


Part one posted 2/20/12

So recently Skip and I were cruising the web...okay, if we are even gonna pretend to aim for virtuous here, I was cruising the web in an attempt to stave off insomnia (which does NOT work and is contrary to everything I read, preach and  know   http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/health/05light.html?pagewanted=all )  and Skip was most likely sleeping soundly in my spot on the bed. I came across a few blogs that I thought were particularly virtuous and made me rethink the small shrine I am currently errecting to my dog. But hey, ya need fun too, yes?  So the following are some particularly well meaning blogs and perhaps you may find a few even worthy of support and followers:

http://www.366randomacts.org/ (a blog of just what it says, a daily act of random kindness)

http://www.thirsttees.com/ (go to home page for info on how to help provide safe drinking water for worldwide communities...this one is for you K-man)

http://loveletterscares.org/ (provides pen pals for children who are physically ill)

http://support.smiletrain.org/site/TR?pg=fund&fr_id=1040&pxfid=10700 (a young man's site promoting donations for cleft palate surgeries for children in third world countries)

http://freerice.com/#/english-vocabulary/1406  (answer trivia questions to feed the world)

http://www.whatmattersnow.org/?gclid=CNvHuI6mra4CFYeK4AodCAu8TA (provides free blog sites to help families of people with cancer)

http://www.wegivebooks.org/campaigns (you can choose a program to support (through reading) to provide books to schools around the world)

Being a dog of conscience, Skipper often spent afternoons in quiet contemplation
of making the world a better place...
