Wednesday’s Hero
This Weeks Hero Was Suggested by Kathi
May No Soldier Go UnlovedLiving Legends began in May 2005 with a very small team of seven dedicated angels. The team’s mission was to let the families and friends of fallen heroes know that we were here to support them and to honor their loved one. At the same time, they had to make sure that they were sensitive to what the family was going through. While this team has grown tremendously, they have worked very hard to maintain that same level of dedication and sensitivity. This team is staffed with trained volunteers who carry out a very difficult mission for Soldiers’ Angels. Due to their dedication, Soldiers’ Angels is able to honor those heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and to pay their respects and offer their deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones grieving the painful loss of their son or daughter; husband or wife; brother or sister; mom or dad; aunt or uncle; their friend.

TSometimes a hero is one who sacrifices everything in their life to help others. And sometimes a hero is one who sacrifices nothing more than their time.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Finally, A Good Baseball Story
The White Sox slugger Jim Thome became the the 23rd player to hit 500 career home runs. He did it in the bottom of the 9th at U.S. Cellular Field to give the White Sox a 9-7 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Twenty two players have reached the 500 mark before Thome, but none have done it to end a game. What made it even sweeter was that it was Jim Thome Bobblehead Day.
The other cool part of this story is that the person who caught the ball was content to receive a bat and another ball (autographed by Thome) in exchange for the home run ball. There was no eBay or auction to get rich with the ball. The White Sox were going to offer him 2 2008 season tickets and tickets to a Sox-Cubs game in a luxury suite. Instead, the fan, Will Stewart told the White Sox to give the tickets to Thome’s favorite charity.
This is a refreshing story from both sides. It is nice to hear something about the good in people instead of cheating and steriods.

Dress Up Games
Are you needing a cool new avatar? I know I am always wanting to change my avatars on the different forums I am on. A site that works great for this is Dress Up Games from the Doll Palace. You can create whatever you want on there. If you want celebrity, you got it. If you want goth, you got it. You can also pick guys, hippies, angels, pirates, mermaids, and I can just keep on going with all the catagories they have.
You can do whatever you want with the avatar. You can pick a background and props. You pick what body type. You pick the hair. You pick if you want a hat and what kind on hat. You get to choose pants, shirts, shorts, socks, shoes, skirts, etc. If you pick angels or fairies, you get to choose their wings. They have special holiday choices too. They even give you the HTML code for My Space or if you want to use your avatar on your Instant Messenger program.
Here is what I look like in real life (maybe):
You really can do whatever you want (within reason) to these. I suggest going to check it out when you have a couple of hours to spend. It is that addicting.
