Everyone can use a little pick me up now and then. But for the millions of military families manning the fort at home while their loved ones are away serving, a gesture of Cheer is especially welcome.
When our troops are called to serve, their families must rise to meet the challenges of service as well. To thank them, Cheerios and the USO have partnered in a postcard campaign that spreads Cheer directly to these honorable military families and supports USO programs. Here´s how it works:

How NOT to Run a Giveaway Hop
I've been busy and didn't have a chance to look at a Black Friday Blog Hop until today that also ends today. Here are some observations I made on what NOT to do with a blog giveaway hop:
Can You Believe This? (Adult Content)
I always try to get one last entry in the day a blog giveaway or sweepstakes ends. Today was no exception, especially with the extra holiday time.
LOTS of daily Tweets because there are three blog hops ending today. Well, apparently someone I don't know from Adam doesn't appreciate seeing all my handiwork on the public timeline. Too bad, too sad. I reported her for spam which automatically blocks her. I hope Twitter will remove her account at the very least.

UnitedHealthcare Solutions for Caregivers
If you've ever had to care for an older adult, then you probably understand that caring for yourself is the first thing to get left behind. With November being National Family Caregiver Month, UnitedHealthcare recognizes that caring for a loved one can be a full time job and understands the financial and emotional costs that come with it.
The Tree of Life
The story centers around a family with three boys in the 1950s. The eldest son witnesses the loss of innocence.Don't waste your money or your time. We tried watching this Netflix DVD rental at lunch time today. We turned it off after 20 excruciating minutes. All I know is that someone, a son I believe, died. They never said exactly who or why. I don't like to be left wondering like that.
I had added this title to my Netflix DVD queue based on the actors. I thought, hmmm, Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. It's gotta be good, right? I've never seen either of them in a bad movie. Well, I have now!

Time To Stop and Smell The Roses
I'm up all night and I'm sleeping through the day. My schedule is totally not in sync with Scott's and that's not good for relationships. I'm lucky he puts up with it.
I get cold at night and can't go to sleep. Some of it is also probably the 14 pills I have to take every day now for medication. When I do finally hit the sack, I start playing solitaire on my Amazon Kindle and still can't go to sleep for hours.
Moderating Rafflecopter Giveaway Entries
I started moderating entries on Wednesday for the giveaway that ended yesterday. It's a necessary evil, but time-consuming. It took a few well-spent hours.
Taking time to moderate entries is the least bloggers can do to honor folks who follow the rules. It's an integral step in conducting a giveaway. JMHO, you should reconsider having a giveaway at all if you're too busy for it.
My numbers went from a total of 1,220 to 1,000 entries. That's 18 percent of entries that were disqualified and removed prior to drawing for a winner!

Don't Call Me Greedy
Well do if you must, but I don't think it's an apt description. The opinion that matters the most is my own ヅ
Greed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greed is an excessive desire to possess wealth, goods, or abstract things of value with the intention to keep it for one's self. Greed is inappropriate expectation. However, greed is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.
As a secular psychological concept, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves. It is typically used to criticize those who seek excessive material wealth, although it may apply to the need to feel more excessively moral, social, or otherwise better than someone else.
