I have decided to raise money for people in need of memberships. I was giving help anonymously to people but my funds are getting low again so I am going to ask for your help in raising some for a worthy cause.
Hey folks, let me tell you about this awesome Challenge. It encourages you to participate in the various contests on the site.
A lot of you have heard about it before but come on who doesn't want to hear about it again.

Have you ever had a flash of brilliance that just begged to be written down, followed by the idiot response, "it's okay I'll write it down later no way I would forget that idea!"
😔
Usually when I am ready for bed ideas come to me. I tell myself I should write them down in the morning. Morning comes and the ideas are gone. Now I have notebooks full of sentences here and there, it's just a matter of putting them together into something.
Grandma broke a hip last weekend. They moved her to a rehabilitation hospital on Thursday. Yesterday they told grandpa she was only insured to be there until the 8th, her doctors wanted her to be there 5-6 weeks. We are scrambling to find the stuff she would need to go home and still keep her leg non-weight bearing, wheelchair, commode, and slide board. I don't even know if there is enough room in their apartment to move around in a wheelchair.
Oh what a mess! Been down that road myself. Deep breath and one issue at a time. I'm sorry your grandmother broke her hip. I'll keep her and your whole family in my thoughts and prayers. Your love and that of your family will get everyone through this. Is it possible for her to stay with someone in the family who may have a bigger house that can accommodate an apartment?
This is something else I don't get about the USA. Why don't you have socialised medicine? My sister recently spent three weeks in hospital and paid $15 because she paid the extra money for Netflix ($5 a week). There was a chance she'd be there longer, and that wouldn't have cost anything either (apart from her Netflix addiction). Because she had a job, she had to pay for the pain meds after, but they are subsidised by the government so it's not full tote odds there either.
Lately, I really don't understand the USA at all...
Lately? Okay, it's been 30+ years. It stopped making sense about the time they voted in a former actor who was out-acted by a chimp and thought he was living in one of his cowboy and injuns films.
Check with your local Senior Center for possible equipment or help in finding it. If grandpa or grandma was in the service you can usually get help through the VA also.
It's interesting to post this on Flag Day. That was important where I grew up. But... although my father was in North Africa for WW2, he seldom spoke about it. We weren't a military family. I can blither about homelessness, poverty of choices, travel, gardens... but I have little to offer about veterans. The US-VietNam vets are now 65-80 years old.
I read it, you should definitely enter it, I believe the contest accepts old and new as long as it hasn't been submitted to the contest before, I could be wrong.
The contest does allow old and new but I can't remember whether I've ever entered it anywhere. Plus I'm bitem-bound at the moment. I have until the end of the month to resolve that should I chose to enter this round.
Hey fellow adventurer Rinsoxy so you got a portal too. Nice. Now I guess we wait to see if we earned our keys from Keyla the Keykeeper Sprite. Thinking of doing an entry in my blog of my adventure so far, what do you think My Sox Rox since I did the first Keyla negotiation GP?
