I love to play games on the Internet in my spare time. Usually in late evening. The website I play on most of the time is http://www.iwon.com/ . On iwon you earn coins for playing games that you can use to enter sweepstakes drawings for money or prizes. My favorite thing about playing on iwon is that while I'm earning coins for myself, I am also earning points for my charity. It makes me feel like I'm doing something to help.
I usually switch charities every month or so. I've played for Best Friends Animal Society, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, Cancer Research, Salvation Army, and for Feb. I chose Doctors Without Borders. Doctors Without Borders is in 3rd place this month, so I'll stay with them in March. Players usually switch teams and the 2nd and 3rd place charities move up to 1st or 2nd.
I always choose a charity/team from the top 3. First place gets $10k, second place get $2k and third place gets $1k [mailed directly to the charities headquarters].
So, if you enjoy playing all kinds of games for FREE. If you like to give to charity. This may be something you would be interested in.
God Bless

Wednesday Feb. 25th
Today I went to the Seniors center to play bingo [supports Meals on Wheels]. I didn't win, but my friends did. I had a lot of fun. I got "on" [1 away] almost every game, and some games I was on up to 7 times! Really thought I had it a couple times, but that's what makes it fun.
Kati, my service dog, was finally able to come with me. She was stuck at home for 3 weeks, because of the snow. The ride in my 4x4 pick-up is REALLY rough, and it makes her very sore. She is after all 11 years old. She was soooo excited to go, and everyone was happy to see her.
I was able to go to church today, yeah! It was a very good service and it was good to see my friends there.
The snow and ice is gone. The rain melted it, so I was able to bring my car home. I keep it at 3000', at a friends house 3 miles down the hill from me. In the winter, I keep either my car or my 4x4 pick-up at their house. I switch off as needed. It's kinda funny. In bad weather, I drive the truck down to my car- switch, then switch on the way home. It does get old, so I'm happy to have my car home and not need to switch for now.

Condors Feb. 24th
Well, the Condors winning streak has ended. They lost to the Alaska Aces 5 v. Condors 2. I personally think it's the coaches fault. They weren't at the game. I called the Condors head office and found out why. They were put on suspension!
So, the team is working with an 'interim' coach until Mar. 3rd. I didn't even ask what the coaches did.
The team is working hard to qualify for the play-offs, and now this.

Bear and the critter
BearBear never did get the critter he was digging for. After his 3 days of digging, it moved. Yeah! I couldn't stand the thought of him hurting a little fox, or a little skunk hurting him, lol.
I think that little critter should have moved earlier. I wouldn't have waited 3 days while a large animal was digging furiously into my home. Would you?

It has been raining for 3 days
The last three days it has been raining. This is good and bad. The good- it has been melting the snow, the bad- the cloudy days have prevented my solar panels from charging.
Day 1- I only got a trace of rain. Day 2- I got 1/2" rain over the course of the day. Day 3- I got 1/2" rain in about 2-3 hours in the very early am. So, it has been cloudy.
I live off the grid [no public utilities available at my house]. I have my own water well, solar panels for charging batteries to run my TV, computer, and lights. I have a very large generator to pump water from my well, run the vacuum etc. I have a very small generator to help charge my batteries when it's very cold [bad for batteries], and when it has been cloudy.
