There is a Seattle based animal rescue site that is in need of our help. It doesn't involve a donation, just the one thing that I know you Active Rainers are very good at - snooping the internet.
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota … (4 comments)

Downsizing Due to Alzheimer's - 10/11/09 04:45 PM
My Father In Law recently fell at home and was subsequently diagnosed with acute onset Alzheimer's.  Previous to his fall, we knew that he was suffering from Dementia, but no doctor had yet given a diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
We had been up to see him just the month before and knew that my husband's parents could no longer stay in their very secluded home in a resort community in Oregon.  The area in which they live is an absolutely beautiful vacation spot/resort and mom and dad have been full time residents there for the past twenty years.
We've been urging them … (14 comments)

Debtors Revolt : How Social Media is Changing Corporate Behavior - 10/08/09 02:34 AM
The other day I came across an article that demonstrates the power of social media and how it can

The CARD Act Has Backfired - It's Forcing People into Default and Bankruptcy - 10/01/09 08:37 PM
When I first read the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act, or the CARD Act, I remember shaking my head in disbelief.  I understood instantly that it was nothing more than feel good legislation that allowed Congress to get some good press on bad legislation. 
Turns out I was right.  Since passage of the law, banks and financial institutions have steamrolled customers with increased fees, rate hikes and other costly changes that are pushing many clients into default and even bankruptcy.
According to an article that I read at RedTape Chronicles "Consumer Action says since spring, banks have engaged … (15 comments)
