Causes

This is Coreopsis flowering profusely in gardens here right now.

I just found out about Causes.com via this article. It got its start from Facebook. Under their 'Wishes' tab, users can donate birthdays, runs or any other personal moments to charity. It's for people who want to do some good instead of receiving personal gifts. It makes it easier to setup a fundraising page for an event.

Our mailstrike ended yesterday when the Post Office was legislated back to work. They said it would be about 2 weeks before things return to normal. It's surprising how dependent we still are on the mail. I'm waiting for K's new health card to arrive as well as L's new Costco card. And Mr. Toast at Hot Toast and Jam is mailing me a gift package. I've been paying a few bills online even though I haven't received the usual bill because I know they are due. All the companies have ensured that we know it's our responsibility to get our bills paid regardless of any mail strike. It did encourage me to sign on to a few sites to arrange paperless billing in the future. And we got mail yesterday!
