Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Got Box Tops?

Please excuse me while I indulge in a little shameless begging.

You will find the above icon on the bottoms/sides of certain brand products. They can be found on a plethora of things including but not limited to toilet paper, cereal, and kleenex.

If you find these on packages, and if your school isn't collecting them, I would jump and shout and scream for joy if you clipped them out and sent them to me.

Our school needs them.

Thank you ever so much!

Later Addendum: THANKS for all the "I'll look on my boxes" responses! If you don't know my e-mail address, there is a link to it on my profile. E-mail me if you need my address and I can't WAIT for those box tops to start POURING in!!! :-)

You all are THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!

Jewel said...: You know, I had a huge huge pile of these collected over the last 2 semesters, then when I moved home I threw them away because I thought, "If I haven't given these to anyone by now, I probably never will."

I'll start cutting them out again..; November 5, 2009 at 1:43 PM

Gotta help my Keetha!

j said...: I save box tops like crazy. I have hit up members of our family who don't have children to save them for us as well. We've turned them in twice this year - probably around 100 in total. That's 10 bucks that our school didn't have before we turned them in and for only one student. Little things DO add up.

I think you are awesome for doing a box top drive on your blog.; November 6, 2009 at 8:48 AM
Anon said...: Hey Funny Lady!

I miss ya and wasn't surprised at all that you had practically filled your blog space.

Too funny!
