Comment For Charity: Last Hope Cat Kingdom

I’ve been trying to come up with a way to do more good with my blog and think it might be fun to use it to raise money for charity by donating $1 per comment received. I can’t take complete credit for this idea because it was inspired by a blog I came across who did this for one particular post to donate to food. Unfortunately, I don’t remember which blog it was so if it was yours, let me know so I can give you some link love here.


Certain charities we donate to regularly; however, there are more that we just give to sporadically and sometimes a special need arises. Those are the ones which we will pick from to use for our “Comments for Charity” campaign on a 3-month trial basis. If it works out well, we'll continue it for the whole year.  I believe this will also help us be extravagantly generous. We will donate $1 for every legitimate comment we get on our blogs during the month of January to Last Hope Cat Kingdom to help rebuild the cat shelter that burned down that we heard about from Sparkle. I hope this will encourage more of our readers to comment instead of just lurk as well as help support charities that are close to our hearts.

So, why not help by commenting on this post? What do you think of this idea? Do you have a good charity you would like to recommend? Not saying we will use it, but we are open to suggestions.  Please visit our other blogs too!  (My Funny Dad, Harry and Grab A Book From Our Stack)

Which Bargain Do You Like Best? Vote Now

This is a follow-up to our What A Bargain post for Writer's Workshop. We had such a good response in the comments from others sharing their bargains, I thought it would be fun to take a vote to see which bargain is considered the best by our readers. Take a look at the post and comments and then vote only once in a comment to this post for the bargain or bargain story you like best. In an effort to show some appreciation to those leaving great comments on this post, I will send the top vote-getter an autographed copy of my book, My Funny Dad, Harry if they would want it.  That's a bargain!

Here are the bargains that were mentioned:

King Sized bedspread from Sears (Karen & Gerard)

Alarm Clock from Radio Shack(Clarissa Draper)

Framed Prints from Target (Kari)

Twin Insurance from Sears (Daisy)

"Wicked" Tickets from hotel in Jersey City (Paula Kiger)

Thinking Thursday Q & A Interaction Game: Friends

The game is easy! I will ask a question about a specific topic. The first person who comments will answer my question, and will leave a question for the next person to answer about the same topic. This next person will answer that question, and leave a question for the next person to answer related to the same topic.

For example, if the topic is PETS, all questions should relate to that topic. What kind of pet do you have? What is your pet's name? As much as possible, let’s not repeat the questions for added fun! You are also welcome to play more than once.

This week's topic: Friends

The first to comment answers my question which is this:
What do you think is the most important characteristic or quality a friend should have?
