Welcome to the January 15, 2007 edition of postie carnival. The theme concentration for this carnival is worthy causes and charities. We have a great posts focusing on the theme, and many others around the spectrum to show you how great our PayPerPost posties really are.

Marisa Marisa’s Dandelion Patch has more than a little patch of anger as Marisa writes directly to
her son’s addiction. he is no longer suffering with the addiction. I guess that thing listened when it knew it’s time was up. Warning: A little explicit language at the very end. Worth reading so shield your eyes on the last sentence.

fighting hunger and starvation

CyberCelt asks us to Help The People of Darfur who are starving and in need of immediate assistance. Travel over and see how you can help the dying children of Darfur. Warning: some graphic pictures of the plight of Darfur, not for the faint of heart.

Marcus, our resident sports fan, expresses his thoughts on the Nothing But Nets Program. You will be surprised to read how this particular net can save lives.

854 million people across the world are hungry, up from 852 million a year ago.

figting cancers

Jessie passionately presents why she is participating in the Relay For Life posted at Hunna’s Happenings.

Colleen is walking for the cure in October. She is rallying support and only has $2160 to go to reach her goal before the walk. Can you spare $20 for the worthy cause this 3 Day Mom has decided to shoulder?

Karen reminds us not be be Clutzy’s Clutzes in forgeting to do our mammograms. She also tells you that you can help others who cannot afford to get mammograms by giving to the
free mammogram fund.

fight for the elderly and meek

Loretta speaks out against governmental abuse against the elderly. She calls them out in Lower than Dogs posted on Nall For Governor.

help the environment

Owen speaks up about helping the environment by recycling your toner cartridges. Ugh!!’s Greymatter Honeypot shows the passion of our posties and the caliber that their posts reach. Believe it or not, this was also an opportunity post. Just goes to show that posties have more on their minds than profit.

I have a post that I would like to interject here. Green Dimes is a great way to rid yourself of junk mail. Environmentally safe and easy to do! This was an opportunity post, but it was a great idea.

The giving boy gives us a glimpse at the love a child has for giving if we just instill it in them at an early age. Alli contributes to the Salvation Army and teaches her son a valuable lesson in the process.
