For our friends who celebrate Christmas with Santa and all the trimming, here's our Link of the Week.   

                                    

Have we ever claimed to be classy, brilliant or cultured?  No. 

Here's our link of the week.

Yes, it's stupid. And as un-Christmasy as you can get. So . . . can anyone explain why it's so damn satisfying?

Yes, the holidays can be stressful.  For a little serenity, check out our

          Link of the Week!

             

Or . . .  maybe you just need something pretty to look at. 

If you're not the turkey and mashed potatoes type (and Life magazine says 4% of all Americans don't eat turkey on Thanksgiving) here's a unique little gift to celebrate the season.

It's our Link of the Week.

Rock on.

                              

Yes, you can help a woman get a free mammogram, and it won't cost you anything.

                                    

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underserved woman.  It takes less than 30 seconds to go to this site and click on "donating a mammogram." 

No kidding, THIS DOESN'T COST YOU A THING.  Corporate sponsors and advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms to The National Breast Cancer Foundation in exchange for advertising. 

Please, please tell ten friends to tell ten friends to do this simple act of kindness, and we'll be helping a lot of women get mammograms.  Early detection can make all the difference.
