It's definitely something EVERYONE can do. When I looked up who the loans were for I just got tears in my eyes. Thinking of all the people EVERYWHERE struggling, doing their best to make it. It makes me so mad at greedy people.Traci Marie Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689422933875370038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-37072466121360562832011-08-27T07:54:19.424-04:002011-08-27T07:54:19.424-04:00That is a lot of news.

I'm sure you will like THE HELP too and suggest you also go see the movie.<br /><br />Ann in the Up: I agree, I was shocked when Gerard told me about dog kidnappers! It scared him when he read that and told Abby he never wanted that to happen to her!<br />I'm sure she understood too--at least she understands that we love her! So happy to get Jim Thome back! The crowd welcomed him in a big way!<br /><br />Lin: The fans welcomed Thome back in a big way--we had a sell out crowd that was filled with "welcome back Thome" signs and the crowd gave him 4 standing ovations when he came up to bat! We love him and are grateful to the Minnesota Twins for allowing him to come back home to us where he belongs. It's kind of a "prodigal son" thing going on! Bring out the fatted calf and let's celebrate!<br /><br />I know he strikes out a lot too, but that's just part of how it is when you are a homerun hitter. All or nothing, you got that right.<br /><br />Glad to hear you loved THE HELP too. I'm sure you'll love the movie too! It's really good!<br /><br />Rachael: It upset me too when I first read the book because I had no idea racism and discrimination was that bad during the 60s! It seems so recent to me.Karen and Gerardhttp://ourstack.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-7001824036980221672011-08-27T02:40:28.558-04:002011-08-27T02:40:28.558-04:00I saw The Help a few weeks ago and loved it!

My husband thought it was outstanding too, though it upset him a little especially because he didn't really know what it was about before we went.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318376427752604367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-90205795836531928752011-08-26T23:22:36.433-04:002011-08-26T23:22:36.433-04:00Thome was booed so much by the Cleveland fans when...Thome was booed so much by the Cleveland fans when he left before--I will be curious to how they treat him now. While he's good at homeruns, he also hits a LOT of outs now. He's totally on or off--no in between. I hope he works on that.<br /><br />I LOVED the book "The Help"--can't wait to see the movie.<br /><br />don't you hate the numbers of followers?? I always feel bad when I lose one.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-31598792327033156832011-08-26T18:14:16.449-04:002011-08-26T18:14:16.449-04:00Kidnapping someone's beloved pet is very low!Kidnapping someone's beloved pet is very low!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412703583921658038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-77794037593131238562011-08-26T17:06:02.120-04:002011-08-26T17:06:02.120-04:00I hate to hear that animals are being kidnapped. ...I hate to hear that animals are being kidnapped. My critters are mostly indoors and even indoors they run and hide when strangers show up.<br /><br />Good for the Indians acquiring Jim Thome. He's an advantage wherever he goes.
