I Am Taking Part In Supporting a Soldier – Adopt A US Soldier

03/01/2011 by Sandra Leave a Comment

On February 4 I signed up for Adopt A US Soldier. I was talking to my husband about my 52 letters 52 weeks and he suggested I look up how to help a soldier by writing to them or care packages. Something like this had been on my mind since watching Oprah’s show about soldiers and their lives. I thought to myself ” I don’t know a soldier or a family personally. I might indirectly through someone at church but not personally. I thought about it and thought and finally found this great forum Adopt A US Soldier.

At first I got one soldier, she is a female but I didn’t and still don’t know much about her. I have consistently written her e-mails and just his week sent her a letter. I do pray it makes it to her and that in a small way brings a smile to her face.

Then I got an email letting me know that if I was up to it I could adopt a second soldier. So I thought about it and requested a second soldier. This time got a male soldier who I know a few things about from his comments. Not much but a bit more than the first female soldier. I sent him a letter this week as too.

Here just the other day I got another email letting me know that a bunch of soldiers had just signed up for support and if I was able to I could adopt a 3rd soldier. I thought about this one for a little bit as well and sent the reply. I was up to supporting a 3rd soldier.

This third soldier is a female and I know from her info she like coffee and a few other odds and ends. I will be writing her a letter this week, and I am really looking forward to sitting down with pen and paper in hand.

These letter I suppose I could be counting toward my 52 letter 52 weeks, but I am not. I am wanting to send these now not wait for the weekly writing.

As I get to know these deployed soldiers I will also be sending out care packages, as I feel so lucky to have them serve our country.

Any ideas on what I can do? I have to brain storm and see what I can come up with.

Review Clean Screen How To Clean Your PC Screen and More

02/27/2011 by Sandra 1 Comment

I was so glad to receive this product for review as my laptop screen is always getting dirty. Sometimes I just clean it and right away it looks dirty again. This product I have been using for a little over a week and I am very impressed.

It doesn’t use a residue, smudge or streak just a nice clean screen. My son is often touching my screen as he plays his games with his little boy ruff and tuff grimy hands and he leaves so many prints and at time sticky stuff on my screen. This product takes all this off with a few wipes, off the smudges go.

I also used it to clean the smudges and finger print from our flat screen television and it did an awesome job. The screen remained clean for a few days before I had to use it again. I never noticed before that the screens were so grimy, I think we just got used to it, but now we see the difference and wow it is pretty neat.

Well I kept on trying Clean Screen on more items in my home, the last one thus far has been my iphone, which gets dirty on a daily basis and I struggled to keep it clean. Clean Screen has helped me get that under control and have a clear view on my phone when using my apps etc.

All in all this product gets 10 thumbs up from me.
