QUOTE OF THE . . . YEAR . . . At Least!

The Right Honorable Gentleman from South Florida will please adhere to Robert's Rules of Order wherein I here-by state for the record that I am the one who is rubber & the Right Honorable Gentleman from South Florida is glue, vis a vis the Right Honorable Gentleman's comments on the floor rebound of my own person & by parliamentary procedure stick to the Gentleman. I yield the floor.

Congresswoman Allegedly "Not A Lady"

I Love it When A Comment Thread Breaks Out into A Spontaneous Prayer Meeting. Srsly.

Let she among us who has not eaten six brownies in one sitting hurl the first scone.

Srsly. Judge not lest ye be fudge.

For we pray as Jesus taught us to pray: "Give us this day our daily bread. And then smear some Nutella on it and pop it in the toaster oven for a few minutes so the edges get all crispy. For lo, that shit is good."

Word. Amen.

"and forgive us our bananas on the toast, for we need some nutrients and shit, as we forgive those who give us side-eye for our poor nutritional habits."

"For thine is the chocolate, the peanuts, the nougat and the caramel, forever and ever. Amen."

WE ALL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Have you ever wondered if the tiny bit you can spare will help, or if your donations will get to where they're needed? Wonder no more. I just found this wonderful website.

Donors Choose is a website that links schools in need directly with those who wish to give. You can browse the various projects and decide exactly where you want your money to go. Many of these schools lack funding for even the most basic things, including books, notebooks, pencils and paper.

The total amounts needed are often relatively small, but mean all the world to the schools. Your donation, no matter how small, goes directly to where it is needed. You might have guessed that education is close to my heart from looking around here. And you'd be right. Unemployed or not, I will always be a teacher.

As we, like so many others, struggle to stay afloat, giving has become a casualty to survival. We're not alone in that. Charitable giving has taken a big hit over the past few years. People can't give what they don't have.

Please, take the time to browse their site. I'm sure you can find a need that touches your heart. I am placing the permalink in my side bar. Click on the Donorschoose.org logo to browse and donate.

We can make a difference.
