“I’m telling everyone that this Christmas, the only present I want is a donation to Jack & Jill. Cross your fingers for me (and them). Meanwhile, I’ll put links to them on my websites.”

That is a great Christmas present for me too, Susan! Thanks.

And thanks to you too, BA. You’re a star!

Done and done!

As if the current cancer screening farce isn’t enough to make you ashamed of our health service!

Congrats on the book deal by the way.

Oh, Grandad, I could go on and on about our State and our Caregivers, because I am one; my other blog is at carersgroup.blogspot.com (my pop-up comments turned off after reading your point about ‘usability’, btw…).

It’s hard to believe we live in a country cruel enough to say, “Yeah, we’ll take care of your kid, but only if you deprive him of parents”, when a parent’s love and care is the one thing that keeps these little kids going.

SO…I’m telling everyone that this Christmas, the only present I want is a donation to Jack & Jill. Cross your fingers for me (and them). Meanwhile, I’ll put links to them on my websites.

Thanks for reminding us of a great cause!

Thanks, Rahood!

I spoke to them about taking cards and stamps, but they don’t/can’t/won’t. I think the stamps are more or less cornered by the Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Grannymar – I’m always thinking of you…!

Congrats on the win even if it was only a Spider.

I took a little snip from the JackandJill site which needs highlighting.

“All Dublin bus tickets with unclaimed change on them can be sent to us, with all proceeds split between Jack & Jill and Temple Street Hospital.*

I’m sure that there are plenty of cards and stamps around at this time of year .
