Be an angel – donate your used car

by

If you have a car that you don’t use anymore, perhaps an old car, you might want to think about donating your car to charity. There’s a non profit company in the US that makes it simple for you to donate cars, boats, RVs, a house or heck, even a plane to charity.

They use the donations to make videos like the one below for kids and teens. They’ve apparently been able to give away over 2.4 million videos so far and your donation could help them continue to help others who are in need.

Isn’t that a great idea? They’ll even arrange to have your used car or other donation picked up free of charge and they’ll get the paperwork done so that you’ll get an IRS tax deduction for your generous donation.





Dolphin rescues whales

by

After rescue workers failed to rescue two stranded pygmy sperm whales that were stranded near a New Zealand beach a bottle nosed dolphin came to their rescue.

Have a look at this news video which tells the tale of the dolphin rescuing the whales. This might be the first time dolphins have been recorded rescuing a whale. Obviously it’s probably not the first time it’s happened, just one of the first time we’ve known about it.

Amazing!

Are companies advertising everywhere these days?

by

Have you noticed that ads that you’ve perhaps been seeing on the internet over the last year or more are suddenly in magazines and even on TV these days?

Maybe it’s just because I’m in Canada and some of these ads are finally making their way to main stream media here, but over the last month I’ve noticed more and more companies that I’ve seen doing big internet advertising campaigns advertising in magazines and on TV. You know, companies like Lifelock and ones for colon cleanse and several other products.

I thought more and more companies were turning to the internet to advertise but now I’m wondering if they’re changing their minds and going back to main stream advertising. What do you think? Are they putting their money into all kinds of ads or going back to more traditional ways of getting their message out?

Flag and flowers

This weeks theme is I Spy

Clematis

These lovely clematis grow at the front of my house, on the left hand corner if you’re facing the house, and the flowers wrap around the side of the house.

I didn’t realize when I took this photo that our Canadian flag would show up in the photo, nor would I ever have thought that it would make such a lovely background. I was quite pleased when I spied the flag in the photo.

Have you ever been concentrating on taking a photo of someone or something and then discovered that was was in the background was almost as interesting as the intended subject? I love it when that happens.

Cutest ankle biter ever

Now isn’t that the cutest little ankle bitter that you’ve ever seen?

Can you imagine working with bears and bear cubs? I’d love to be able to work with young wild animals. I’m not sure how I’d feel about it once they grew up and became more dangerous though!
