Well it seems that I will go ahead with the newstand after all
Much here at Kiva Friends is either technical stuff or serious in nature. And that certianly is fine - World Poverty is serious and Kiva is a most necessary organization in today's world.
The role I have allocated to myself here is to "lighten-up" this site. It is not meant to take away from the seriousness of world poverty by any means. For me, personally and without going into a long story, the last 2 years have been somewhat difficult. Now, I choose not to take my own life too seriously but at the same time, I choose to help others where I can.
Right now, I could be sitting in a jail cell for standing up for something I believed in (charges were dismissed anyway). I am so grateful to be in the situation that I am in - no financial worries, a great wife and friend (no, not the wife - my dog) and I'm in reasonably good health but lousey shape
I've seen real poverty first hand and feel as well as know that I should do something about it. Too many people in society (and here I mean those who have the financial means) don't even look sideways to see that other people are in need. None of us do as much as we can but at least some of us are doing something. That is why I am a part of Kiva.
I shall continue to be who I am (for I can be no one else). Those that don't like me need not bother with me. I'm sure I will get by. Those who feel that I bring something to Kiva Fiends - Thank You.
Other than replying to other threads, most of what I wish to say or do, I will orginate here. Mostly that will be challenges, some discussions and maybe just off-the-wall things. But I will not forget the main purpose for Kiva and that Kiva itself is the main reason why we are here in he first place (Move over Obama - I got you beat
)
So, Moonfish is staying
PS - The SPCA-Kiva Connection still exists as does Moonfish Birthday Shopping Challenge. Most (if not all) my other threads and polls have been deleted.
