another bottle and can fundraiser for the TSA

This summer I am going to do another bottle and can fundraiser to help the TSA by returning empty bottles and cans to the store for money and there is a contest so whoever gets the most cans wins a PSP (a video game system). Last year the prize was a Wii (I won!!!) and this year I am trying to get more bottles than last year (over $370). so far I have made $80.40 and In the picture I am sitting with 1000 bottles and cans.

Very strange weather

a few days ago when I was looking out the window it was a normal day and then I saw rain and I said “that’s strange” and even stranger it was huge chunks of hail. So big that my friend’s mom’s car got dented  and if you live near here you’ll know and I posted this because that was very strange and I put a picture to show how big the hail was.

about shortcuts for computers (sorry, Windows only)

Today, I realized that lots of people may not know how to use their computer fully like my grandfather know that there are shortcuts to save time so that’s why I have shortcuts and if you have a problem with your computer you can leave a comment on this post. here are some shortcuts these shorctuts work on most windows-based programs

Ctrl+Z=undo

ctrl+y=redo

Ctrl+P=print

F1=help

ctrl+alt+delete=reboot/windows task manager(task manager is something that shows your programs and you can end them if they freeze or something or you can turn off your computer)

ctrl+x=cut  -a mnemonic device (to help you remember) is to think as an X being a pair of scissors

ctrl+c=copy (C stands for copy)

ctrl+v=paste

I hope these shortcuts help you and I will keep posting shortcuts on this post.

My Meme answers

Laura tagged me for a meme.

Here are my answers.

1. in your opinion, what does it mean to make a difference?

It means you are helping someone or making something better like picking up trash and putting it in the garbage or saving a kitty or something.

2. What is an example of a unique way to make a difference?

A unique way to make a difference would be doing a good deed for someone when they don’t even know

3. Who has made a difference in YOUR life this week?

This week my nana has made a difference by emptying the dishwasher twice for me and a lady at the store gave us quarters to buy gumballs.

4. If I didn’t have a blog, would you still be making a difference?

Of course I would still be making a difference but the longer you have your blog up the more people look at it so if you don’t have a blog less people will be encouraged.

5. What is your favorite thing about the internet?

My favorite thing about the internet would be that it can be used for many things like having fun, e-mailing and chatting, and of course blogs because they are like journals that you can use for anything.

A good deed for children’s hospital

My brother’s friend came over a few days ago and his mom mrs.king, works at children’s hospital and we asked if the hospital’s playroom needs some books for the kids to read so we gave her some of our old books to donate to the children’s hospital and we donated some books.

my cool pencil that I made

this pencil is a invention that I made by putting together a flashlight,lead,2 broken pencils and,one working pencil that I just fixed.The idea I got for this was at school when I found this broken pencil and I found a flashlight so I fixed the pencil and I tried writing with the light and the pencil in my hand and then I got tape and taped it and I added the eraser because the one that is in the top part is broken,and then I added the grip thingy.you can use it for writing in the dark and it feels good.

Free Rice

My friend told me about this cool rice game where you can donate rice depending on how many word questions you get right. And you don’t need to pay or anything! It’s just a word learning game and the more you get right the more you donate to poor people who can’t get food. http://www.freerice.com/ today (12/8/07)I donated 3500 grains of rice
