MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
- And it's back! Pesach is going swimmingly--we have recited the story of Pesach in duplicate and consumed a box of matzah. Only six more days to go... I am a little behind and have about 10 more pieces of news to add. I will add them to tomorrow's L & F.

- U.T.E.R.U.S. Update: a second ad for U.T.E.R.U.S. has gone up on my sidebar over at Stirrup Queens. They money from all of the ads in that ad space go to U.T.E.R.U.S. Therefore, support the blogger or business who purchases the space and if you want it, go bid on it over at the US eBay site (it currently has one bid--but there are two days left on the bidding). I'll design your ad and hopefully you'll get a few new readers in the process. By the way,we have so many cool auctions running on the US eBay right now and need your help to advertise it. Please put in a plug anywhere you post and make the US eBay auction as successful as the UK one!

If you would like to help with our March of Dimes fundraising, read this post and join along. There are at least five things you could do!
