What little things do you do every day to take care of our planet?

Sponsored by One Million Acts of Green brought to you by Cisco.
I keep a bucket in the shower to catch the cold water before it gets hot. All vegetable waste gets dug into my flower beds. Plus we keep the helpful birds and insects healthy, so that they help keep our yard and plants healthy. No spraying here!!!

How are you celebrating St. Patrick's Day?

Not this year. Just not into it. Maybe next year.

What would you like written on your tombstone?

That's easy---"now I know"

February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness Day.  What acts of kindness have you done or plan on doing today?
Submitted by Emeree.

I do all kinds of kindness everyday. I have helped seniors in the market. I do pick up trash. Share homemade muffins with neighbors and friends. Helping animals is my big thing. Animals can not speak for themselves, so I speak up for them. I will even leave notes on cars where a dog is inside. That's cruel. I volunteer at a Natural History museum also.

In honor of Presidents' Day, tell us: Who was your favorite U.S. President and why?

Teddy Roosevelt-cause he carried a "BIG STICK"!

What are you doing to save money during this economic downslide?

This isn't hard for me. I have just gone back to things like cooking from scratch more. We try to only go out for marketing and/or shopping on a day I have therapy. We play cribbage, Wii, watch our hummingbirds. We know the bus system, so if we really want to spend the day at the beach, we catch the bus and just enjoy the scenery. 

We have no bills-we have always used cash. Plus we paid off our mortgage early. We will save up if we want something. No credit here!!

In God we trust-everyone else pays cash!!! works for me.

President-elect Barack Obama is being sworn into office today. Where are you watching the events of this historic day unfold? 

We are going to sit in the "office" to watch the 44th president sworn in. History in the making.

What single event changed your view of the world for the better or for the worse?
Submitted by iASHLEY.

For me it was when JFK was assassinated. It was then I decided that the world was getting worse.   

How do you feel about the results of the election?

Well, I will be like McCane. This is our new president, and Commander in Chief. I can only hope that he will do a good job. 

What's the best excuse you've ever heard?

When one of my sons was about 5, somehow a small container of baby powder got all over the room he shared with his younger brother. When I asked Robert how this happened, he said, "Well, I was walking on the wall and tripped over space." He had a poster of "space" on his wall. It was just so cute to hear those words come out of his mouth, I just cracked up. We all helped get the powder up laughing the entire time.
