Would it be possible to start a weekly column on Living In Theory, about volunteering? Maybe we could alternate sharing our challenges and experiences here... We're such a diverse group? What do you think? <BR/><BR/>RodrigoRodrigoKinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446621718506823250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-9651555991185620062008-12-17T11:13:00.000-08:002008-12-17T11:13:00.000-08:00Sugar, this contest is amazing.

I think that this is a wonderful exercise and the best HPmagic giveaway. I have been truly touched by all of the magic that is going around without the HP equipment.

My youngest son also lives with me. He had to move back in because he became a transplant candidate when his kidneys shut down two years ago following a fairly routine surgery to repair a broken leg. He also has been a Type 1 Diabetic since his 18th birthday which probably contributed to the kidney failure. Diabetes runs on my ex-husband's side of the family. So both of us are disabled and unable to support ourselves without Social Security disability payments each month.<BR/><BR/>But thats not the whole story, those are just the facts. What I didn't tell you is that we both have a lot of hope for the future. He is #1 on the transplant list despite being a rare blood type and until his organs come through he thought about starting a home business that he could work around his dialysis treatments. In fact with all the online inspiration I get every day as I browse the internet on my white elephant of a computer I realize that I too, could start a home business of my own as well. I've always been creative and spent a lot of time making things for personal enjoyment and recently it occured to me after stumbling upon the Etsy.com website that I could also do it to supplement my Social Security benefits.<BR/><BR/>I think I would probably keep the <B>HP Touchsmart</B> for myself...being the matriarch of the family. :) <B>The HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook PC</B> I would give to my son so that he could even take it with him when he goes for his dialysis treatments. He could even enroll in some online college courses to begin a new career after his transplant. It certainly will take his mind off his problems while he sits there for 4 hours each day having his blood cleaned. The <B>Notebook PC</B> I would give to my oldest son's wife, who now is a stay at home mom with a 14-month-old baby girl. It would allow her to look for ways that she might be able to work from home and make things easier for their growing family. She is sharp as tack and I'm sure she'll be doing something online in no time at all. The <B>HP mini</B> I would give to my next door neighbor who had hers stolen recently and has been devastated with its loss. The <B>Photosmart wireless All-in-One printer</B> I would donate to a local group which feeds about 100 low income families every weekend with products that they solicit from local supermarkets and the Oregon Food Bank. Both mom Heather and her oldest daughter Jessica have been doing that for the five years I've lived here and have done a real service to the community without ever being asked and seldom being thanked. As for the <B>HP MediaSmart Connect</B> I will need to find out more about that product before I can determine who would benefit from it the greatest.<BR/><BR/>As you can see, this prize will affect many lives...perhaps even change them forever. Its a good thing that Hewlett Packard is doing here and its an awesome thing that they recognized your blog as means to accomplish their investment in the future.<BR/><BR/><B>Motto to live by...</B><BR/>"Life isn't about avoiding the storms; its about learning to dance in the rain"Noggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199401892472038671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-60126963815924516602008-12-16T20:44:00.000-08:002008-12-16T20:44:00.000-08:00That was fun -- I think...I've never dived in to s...That was fun -- I think...<BR/><BR/>I've never dived in to set up my own blog before -- I think I've learned something, and maybe strained something at the same time.<BR/><BR/>I bet it gets easier with practice -- you are a heck of an influence!!Mollie G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317971946949459012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646757887620573282.post-32485934000883724352008-12-16T18:58:00.000-08:002008-12-16T18:58:00.000-08:00Sorry!
