(no subject)

I found this on someone else's lj and thought it was a good thing to pass along. Plus, I have this site bookmarked and I still forget to go there every day... So maybe this will help remind me. (While you're there, check out the other one-click-a-day things.)


The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle under the pink ribbon ). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Two things you've done today

One person you could spend the rest of your life with…

01) I refuse to answer this question based on previous experience with how quickly my mind changes and how fast I, personally, change from year to year. I will answer this question when I am engaged.

I wish the Sims2 didn't crash every time I played it. I can't figure out what its problem is... I downloaded the patch that's supposed to fix stuff... and my computer meets all the requirements... Oh well, I guess it's for the better, because now, instead of playing my Legacy family, I'm going to go study eukaryotic molecular biology and pretend physics doesn't exist.

And I wish it would start raining again. It was nice of it to stop while I was running errands, though.
