I think my feed hadn't been sending out new posts. I just followed an idea from The Botchars to change my feed because it may have reached maximum size allowance.
Did you get this post?
If not, what brought you here. Thanks for responding. I hope this works!
I recently learned about an organization called Operation Smile that provides surgeries for children born with facial abnormalities, such as cleft palate. The problems of the cleft palate go deeper than just the social stigma of looking different than one's peers. Ten percent of these children die before their first birthdays. Those who live often face problems such as not being able to eat, speak, smile, or socialize. This wonderful organization provides medical treatments in the form of paying for costly surgeries that these kids' parents wouldn't be able to provide on their own.
Fifty-three medical volunteers recently completed a mission to Guatemala City where they provided surgeries to 149 children. In order to make these life-altering procedures possible, Hospital Militar donated five sanitized rooms for the week.
While there, team members were inspired by two-year-old David's mother's fussing over her child before the doctors put him under anesthesia. Love speaks every language. The biggest surprise of this mission was how smooth everything ran. It must be awe-inspiring to witness so many good deed doers at once making dreams come true.
They were not the only ones helping this to happen. Many people and organizations provide funding for Operation Smile. One such organization is Rentback Books. For each text book that you rent, Rentback will donate money to Operation Smile. This way, you can enjoy the satisfaction of getting school textbooks at a good price while solving a world problem.
Here's a video to show how they work.
Some perks are:
-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
-free shipping both ways
-can highlight in the textbooks
-flexible renting periods
-we donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented
I'll admit it. I'm one of those Beiber haters. I know he's just a kid, but a rude annoying one at that. He spat on his fans, made arrogant and disgusting comments at Ann Frank's house, urinated in a restaurant mop bucket, and called a bikini clad girl crushing on him a beached whale. This is just a small sampling of his bad behavior. Yes, he's just a nineteen-year-old punk, but that's old enough to know douchiness from decency. He deserves every photo I post!
I cain't stan' 'im!
First there was the chase
Next came the arrest And finally the booking where the arrogant jerk smiled wide for his police mug shot. Doesn't he get what a screw up he is?? Someone needs to seriously slap that kid
From the first time I strummed my Lil Tykes guitar,
I knew I wanted to be a rock star, and it didn't end there. Come elementary
school, the neighborhood kids and me formed our band in the front yard. We
banged pots, pans, and anything else to make our music. From there, we played high school gigs and dressed our way to fame.
Kids
love our hair dye job. Each one of us has a unique color and style that makes an
awesome rainbow when we get together. Ty's balloon shaped hair glows as red as Ronald the clown,
while Keifer goes for neon blue feathers. Suse shines yellow sunbeams, while I grow the green leafy
look. It came in handy today.
The
old saying, "Watch what you wish for" is
true. I wanted to be a star. Each night, I dreamed of being swooned over
by an audience. But, no one told me how nuts our fan base would be.
See, after we left
stage this morning, a group of loose screws chased our limo. The driver swerved, we
hit a wall, and the fans tore our doors off.
All I could do was run. I headed to a nearby farm
and ducked into this old
wheelbarrow. As I hide in here, everyone will think my
hair is a plant. I just hope those druggies don't pull out my locks and
try to smoke me.
Hey, Hey, I don't want to be a pop star!

An
optimist is the dog who hangs near the stove when I'm cooking, the kid who
flaps his mouth in my class, or maybe it's the squirrel that camps out in our
attic. All these seem to be optimistic moves––hopefulness and
confidence about the future or successful outcome of something; however, I am
the truest optimist of all.
I believed I could scratch a few notes to satisfy
my buzzing mind before bed last night and then write a great post after work and Chess Club. Plus my son came in town tonight. The post ain't gonna happen because I'M TIRED.
The conclusion: I'll let these funny thoughts simmer awhile before sending them to fruition. Night. Night.

When thinking of what to write, I checked out Theme Thursday and saw the topic, "Doubts." Not knowing what to write, I stared at the word and came up with a definition for it. See if you switch the /U/ and /B/ in DOUBTS, you come up with the words DO BUTS. It's the perfect definition of the word. I'd do it, but . . . See when you want to do something but the "but" gets in the way, it makes you doubt what you want to do. And if you continually doubt things, you have a lot of buts.
If you are laughing at the word "buts," you would fit with my fourth graders because they continually giggle whenever that conjunction pops up. Why is that?
