Because of caring people and a caring company, a terminally ill little Green Forest girl was flown home Friday by air ambulance from M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, so she can spend her last days surrounded by the people who love her most.

[JR: And who says big corporations don't have feelings. Yes, they get good PR that 11k$ couldn't buy. But, it's more than that. IMHO!]

Hundreds of Thousands of Pro-Life Students to Stand in Solidarity on Abortion
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
October 12, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Hundreds of thousands of pro-life students are ready to stand in solidarity on abortion as the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity takes place a week from Tuesday. Last year, from over 4,700 campuses in 25 countries participated in the event and sponsors expect even more this year.

The day sees the students at middle and high schools and on college campuses wear pro-life t-shirts, sport red tape on their mouths to show how the unborn can’t speak up, and the distribution of fliers educating students and the public about abortion.

The event’s man sponsor, Stand True Ministries, tells LifeNews.com, one of several groups supporting the event, that at least 58 young women canceled appointments for abortions after the special day took place last year.

Bryan Kemper, the pro-life group’s president, says students are always excited every year to bring attention to the devastating travesty of abortion that is killing 4,000 unborn children and injuring women every day.

*** end quote ***

[JR: Interesting to see the children "speaking" up. Personally, I wonder if we have allowed the "abortion" of the gal who would cure cancer, the boy who'd break Jeter's record, or the next Gandhi who would bring us the "world peace" as often wished by beauty contest participants. The German people have never recovered from the shame of what was done to the Jews. Will we be regarded the same way? Will future generations look at this, askance, like the Salem Witch Trials? And, now with the supposedly "health care" bill, we're going to get abortions regardless of the consequences. Will this be the issue that splits the nation? Will this be the long awaited "revolt" of the silent majority. Will your taxes be paying for what you find morally abhorrent? What will you do about it?]

Posted on October 15, 2009 by | Comments Off

http://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/DaveDuffy/2009/10/15/i-want-your-old-golf-clubs/

*** begin quote ***

Anyone out there want to donate their old golf clubs to my youth golf team? I’ll pay the Fed-Ex charges. Just ship them to the magazine’s street address: BHM, 29545 Ellensburg Ave, Gold Beach, OR 97444. Our phone number you need to put on the FedEx form is 541-247-8900. To send us golf clubs, you need to simply call FedEx at 1-800-463-3339 and they’ll come and pick up the clubs. If they have any questions about billing, just have them call our telephone number, above.

*** end quote ***

[JR: Read this and thought if anyone wanted to be charitable with old clubs, this would be of interest.]

# # # # #

WT: “Ladies clubs too?”

JR2DD: “One of my facebook friends wants to know if you want ladies clubs Or just men’s. (I’d think that ladies could be good for kids. But what do I know.)”

JR2WT: “I’ve asked. Awaiting answer.”

DD2JR: “Tell your Facebook friend that ladies clubs would be great. We have three girls in the club. You’re correct, by the way, in that ladies clubs are good for kids, male or female. Thanks for responding to my blog post.”

DD: “Ladies clubs are fine. We have several girls in the golf club. Plus, ladies clubs are usually L-flex, which are perfect for the smaller freshmen boys whose swing speed is below 80 mph. Once they get over 80 mph they typically need to graduate to an R-flex.”
