DO-GOODER WRAPS
Lenses About Giving
- Brenda Ladun - A True Heroine
- Brenda Ladun is the 6pm/10pm Anchor on the ABC TV affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama. That is how I first 'met' her. I watched her grow as a newscaster over the years, then I watched her cope with breast cancer - twice.
This lens is my tribute to her. - CLICKABLE CHARITY - No Money Involved

FAT CLOTHES
Food lenses! No matter what I do I cannot lose those extra 20 pounds.
- The Best Tomato and Cheese Sandwich
- Nothin' says SUMMER better than a homegrown tomato!The BEST way to eat that tomato is to sit on the back porch steps with a salt shaker and go to town. My Mom taught me this method: to get started, lick the tomato in one spot, shake salt on that spot, BITE!
- Meat and Three Restaurants in Birmingham, Alabama
- My favorite Meat and Three Restaurants in Birmingham.
- October 30th: National Candy Corn Day
- Candy corn is a sweet replicate of dried corn kernels. It's considered a 'mellow cream,' a name for a type of candy made from corn syrup and sugar that has a marshmallow-like flavor. Although candy corn tastes rich, it's actually fat-free.(FROM HOW STUFF WORKS)
- Celebrate Your Favorite Candy!
- Did you know that some kinds of candy have a 'Special Observance Day'?For example, if you love chocolate covered cherries, celebrate this confection's special day on January 3rd! If you missed it, you can always celebrate on 'National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day the 16th of December'!
SEPARATES
Nothing quite matches the other articles in my closet.
Some of these lenses attempt to be funny.
- Paul Harvey Riddle - another email-chain-letter
- Most editorials or articles from Paul Harvey really know how to appeal to the American masses. Here is a pretty neat little thing from Paul Harvey I received as a chain-email. I do not necessarily agree with all Mr. Harvey says. But he does make one think.
- Silly Name Games
- In Laura Lippman's book In Big Trouble, I learned about a 'name game' that would make a good conversation 'icebreaker' at a party.In chapter 24, Tess (main character) and Rick (a lawyer) are heading to the home of a retired San Antonio Detective whose name is Marty Diamond.
- These Exotic Pets Can Make You Sick!
- In a Quality Health Newsletter titled 'Unhealthy Pets' I learned that, 'while some pets can actually make you feel better, [the following] have been known to cause illnesses.'I am not passing any judgment here, you all. I am just relaying what I read.
- Are You Tired of Email Chain Letters ?
- Are you constantly getting junk chain letters in email from your pals? Me, too. Some of my friends are not acting responsibly when sending me forwards. I just might link this lens to all my emails in the future so they will be better email-pals.Sure, some of the emails are sweet.
- Cheeky eCards
- I know for a fact that I am not the only person to have found these eCard websites. After all, I 'stumbled-upon' Wrong Cards, so someone else had to give it the thumbs up! I just consider myself very lucky that I have some friends to send these cards to.
- "The Third Wish"
- How many times have you been frustrated by a character in a story who is given three wishes and makes a bad choice for the first, undoes the first bad wish with the second, and then only has one, final wish to make!
- Let's Make Fools of my Grandkids!
- Below you will find photos of my grandbabies. I just adore each and every one. BUT, I am not beyond getting a kick (as in a chuckle) out of them. I know one day they will hate me for doing posting their embarrassing photos on line, but hey, they will forgive me when they see the will.
This lens makes use of the caption plexo for pictures. Visitors get to add captions and maybe be funny.

A must!He rides it when we go for a walk (on mostly flat terrain) and it sure saves his Gigi's back - I don't have to carry him. He is usually way ahead of me!
- The Best Playhouses by Little Tikes
- A few weeks ago, I was in Costco with three of my five grandbabies. Well, as most Costco members know, it is the BEST place to buy Christmas or Hanukah presents for one's grands.Then there it was: a display model of a Little Tikes Playhouse! The kids (ages 1,3,and 4) loved it.

- Beatles Cover Songs!
- Have you ever been listening to the radio and you hear a song that sounds oh so familiar? And you love? And it brings back some great memories? Well, that happened to me when I heard Eddie Vedder singing 'You've go to hide your love away.'Where had I heard it before?Duh! I heard that song when I was
