Do Something Good In The World Today!

There is a website where they donate 10 grains of rice to feed the hungry for every right answer you get on their trivia. The categories are varied and simple enough a child can do a lot of it. If you get a right answer, the questions get a little more difficult. A wrong one and they get easier.
If you are looking for a good website for your kids to learn new things or solidify knowledge they already have, send them here! They will be doing something good for others at the same time!
It is also great for passing time while bored. :D

Quater Deed 5th-teen and Awkward pants. And 100th post.

Yep, that's right! After a long absence a quarter deed has been deeded!! So I was with Mike and we were at an amazing train eating stop! We ate our food and I played with my toy I got from my kids meal... an inflatable football!!!! (Yes, I love to get kids meals!!!)  Before we left Mike told me I needed to see a Harry Potter train set up!! It was so cool!! You got to see Diagon Ally, the Muggle World outside of Diagon Ally, the train path to Hogwarts and Hogwarts itself!! It was so neato! I wanted to see the Train take Harry to school but it costed .... ONE QUATER!!! Mike gallantly checked his pockets and found... ONE QUATER!!!! The train rode back and forth several times! It was glory!! Also, another awesome thing the train restaurant had has drink machines from the future!!! They have touch screens!!!

Later... On a completely different day I went with Mike to an "Activity."  It was so epic!! We got some snackage and climbed into his tree house. (No, that is not metaphorical.)  It was a smaller version of the Swiss Family Robinson's home!! It was soo cool! It had two trap doors, a fire pole and a bridge!! It was so neato!!! He also had a tramp! We had a lot of bouncy fun and then Mike2 and Awesome1 showed up. We all climbed into the tree house, gorged ourselves on snacks and played games. One of the games was tossing jelly beans up and catching them. Awesome1 threw a jelly bean up into the air and I barely missed it. I tried finding it on the floor but it disappeared. But... later I found it... on my butt!!!! I sat down on it and smooshed it on the chair and my pants. It stuck to my pants and I tried cleaning it off the chair so that no one would notice what I was doing!! And the real doomer part about sitting on the jelly bean was that it was red! So the back of my pants looked all sorts of awkward. I tried pulling my shirt to cover it but I am not too sure if it worked or not. Also I was super thirsty and kept drinking water. Mike was being awesome and kept pouring me some. One time as he was pouring I accidently jerked my hand and made water go all over his pants. It looked like he had an accident. I felt so bad! Mike was super about it and just laughed! Thanks Mike for the tour of the tree house!! Double Smurff Yeah!!!

P.S THIS IS THE 100TH POST!!!!!!!

14 number of the Quarter Deeds... Which is this one!

Okey Doke! So I have the most AWESOME quarter deed story!
The deed was done at work. Yes, at work. The quarter deed helped a child too and some unknown foundation. So, while in the huge van of glory one of my students had a mishap. :( Another student took her donation bank from school and dropped the money out that was inside it all over in the huge van. The huge van of glory seemed to eat the money! 3 children, a teacher (me), and 10 minutes later we still could not find the money dropped!
The girl who lost the money claimed to have lost one quarter. Of all coins and amounts to lose, she lost just ONE QUARTER? COIN-incidence? I think not! Says I to myself, "Here is a perfect quarter deed!" I turned to the sad child and proclaimed; "I will give you the quarter that you lost!"
So, as promised...after driving the huge van of glory down the glory ride of bumpyness back to the place of work...I dug through my purse and wallet for a quarter. Funny story....I only had ONE quarter! "Sweet" I thought to myself! I turned to the girl and said "One quarter as promised." Oddly enough, none of the other children complained that I didn't give them money for their banks also...they grasped the situation and I was VERY impressed. So there ya have it! One girl and one foundation benefited from a small quarter. Yay for the Quarter Deeds of Happiness! :)
Love, Spooner

QUARTER #...

Since the counting thing got confuddled and what not...and we are not quite sure which number of quarter deed we are on. I counted. 13. We have done 13 quarter deeds. I think that's pretty tight. So the next one that happens would be....?
Oh. Gosh. You are so smart. 14.
Now I'm gonna go eat some food. Lots of yummy food.
-Twoderful
p.s count the quarters in the picture. 13. Ha. I thought it was clever. Just saying.

Quawter deed # Awesome.

So this is not exactly a quarter deed but I am counting it because I can, and because I want to. Also because it was incredible. My brother and I used 'Karma' to describe it but to us it was extremely hilarious.

Today was my amazing and wonderful mothers birthday! Yea for her! So I had to run to Wally-World to grab some stuff. It was hot and my car lacks that luxury named air conditioning. We were thirsty and wanted refreshment. However those gold digging, stingy, selfish machines of vending denied any pleasure that we were seeking. We tried and failed. One machine would take no money and one machine would take all money but give no goodness. We happened upon a third, which took money. (good sign) and My bro pushed a button. It vended that orange bubbly goodness and out popped a second.! We thought it hilarious. Oh and an extra quarter. yep.

We are feeling pretty victorious and pleased with ourselves. As we drive out my brother, the kind hearted stud that he is spotted a person with a sign saying they were homeless and begging for food and or money. My brother had opened his but said I could have his if we gave my unopened one to the 'beggar'. (Isn't he awesome!) So I give away my soda and let my bro keep his (I'm not that into soda any how.) And He says "It's all good. You just get more Karma."

So I know this is not exactly a quarter deed but this is how I think it works.
1) The machine gave me a quarter. Chalk points up for the machine.
2) The soda that was given away cost 75 cents. That's 3 quarters. So. That works out.
3) It was all done in the spirit of giving!
Therefore, it worketh in my book.

Happy day dear readers and remember, ...
dude I can't remember what I wanted to tell you to remember.
That's bogus.
Just saying.

Quarter Deed number.....who knows....

All the way from the Land of Leaves are three quarter deeds!!! One from each of us; Spooner, Twoderful, and Mommy Twoder. :)

So, Twoderful left a quarter in a parking lot in Canada. If you look closely you can see it is a Candian quarter! Now, some lucky person can get a quarter off their next purchase! Yay for quarter deeds working in Canada too!

The second quarter deed is preformed by Spooner! She left a Candian quarter in a golden boot! Horray! It was to help the town in a parade and a rodeo too I think. Now they have another quarter to sponsor their town's amazing event!

Thirdly, Mom Twoder also preformed a quarter deed of goodness. She helped out a foundation...children's hospital or the like....in Canada! Yes, with one quarter....a Canadian quarter....she helped change the world. :)

We love doing quarter deeds and found joy in the fact that we can do them all over the world! It feels so great to help someone out.

That's all folks! ~Spooner

Dear Quarter Deed Followers,
Yesterday, two young girls had a wonderful lemonaid stand!!! Guess what? Their lemonaid was a quarter. I didn't have an American quarter!!! I asked if I could use a Canadian quarter, and they said yes. So I got two lemonaids, but gave them 4 quarters instead of 2 to make up for it. Oh, and Mike was there to witness. Thank-you for the lemonaid girls and for accepting non-American quarters!!! I hope they enjoy the extra quarters too! :)
Love, Spooner

Quarter Deed Karma

A few days ago I was purchasing something and found I was lacking change. Mike saw that I was struggling to count all the pennies in my purse...so...he gave me a quarter. 4 words: Quarter Deed Karma (cool!)

Quarter Deed #6

Yesterday Lunch Pail, Zombie and I did LAUNDRY! It was fantastic! Doing Laundry with friends always adds excitement. While we were there, a girl came up to us with 5 nickles. She asked if one of us had a quarter to do some nickel/quarter swappin. I was in luck and had an extra quarter. We did the swappin and went on with our laundry.

Dear Nickel Girl,
Thanks for the Quarter deed!
<3/dish>

Quarter Deed # Fun

So, unlike some of the other quarter deeds, this one is for enjoyment purposes only.
Mike and I were out having a blast at a kid's quarter playstation. Instead of a token, the token machine expelled a quarter. First thought: Quarter deed.
We left the quarter at an obvious location on a fun outlet. Then we kept on keepin' on.
Hope you had fun, quarter-user!
-Lunch Pale

To protect women everywhere

Yet another 25 cent deed has been completed.
There I was enjoying a rather private moment when it occured to me.
As I was sitting there.. washingtons gleaming silver eyes would not let my soul rest.
I knew ...
What a wonderfully wonderful place for a quarter deed.
To women everywhere...
I placed that quarter into a very special machine.
Leaving a very special defense against evil.
ENJOY LADY LUCK WHOEVER YOU MAY BE . That tampon was on me.

Quarter Deed #5

Attention: The picture above is not a correct representation of this quarter deed, but it applies to quarters...so I thought: "Why not get a laugh out of a blog post?" So...I hoped you laughed at the comic, if not, oh well. I laughed. :) Well. The quarter deed count is a little crazy to me right now. I think all in all...we are on #5, but I could be wrong. Oh well. It was a quarter deed anyways. I just have to say, right now I feel rockin' cuz I've done 2 quarter deeds in the past week! (woo woo!) I've been a slacker with previous weeks so...I kinda feel the need to kick my butt in gear. This quarter deed was great! and. Laundry mats are great places for quarter deeds. I simply placed my quarter on the ground; A while later it was gone. I kept my eye on this quarter for a while because I find it fantastic to see the reactions of quarter-finders. But. The quarter disappeared at a moment when I was not looking. Even though I did not get to see the reaction of the person that picked it up, I know who it was. Two girls were in there (and when I say girls I do not mean little 5 year old girls...I mean college girls), they were the only other ones in there with me and they were standing pretty much on top of the quarter. It made me giggle when I realized the quarter was gone.

p.s. I said "quarter" a lot in this blog entry. ha. makes me laugh.

Happily yours,
Dish Towel

Quarter Deed #3

Once upon a time I was in the LITTLE CITY with family. One of my tiny family members ran up to the crane machine where much to his/her dismay he/she didn't win anything! :( Neither did the rather older family member. So, I promised the tiny family member to take him/her to a BETTER machine when we were done. Then, as promised, as the older family member was busy with stuff, I took the tiny family member to a machine of glory! And with ONE quarter, yes one quarter, this tiny family member was able to WIN something out of the machine by him/herself using his/her OWN ninja skills with the claw of glory in the machine of winning glory!
So I was able to brighten up her day. :) The End.
Loves, Spooner :)

Quarter Deed #1 (Dish Towel)

Warning: This story is completely made up by the imagination of Dish Towel.

Once upon a time there was a very hungry person doing their laundry at the laundry mat. Luckily this starving soul looks over to see a vending machine glowing in the corner. (horray!) Snacks are always beneficial when waiting for laundry to be done, and at the convenient price of only 75 cents! A dollar is put in the machine, the snack comes out and as this hungry-laundry-do-er reaches down for their 25 cent change...low and behold there is not one quarter, but TWO quarters in the change slot.

Warning: This part of the story is truth.

As I was doing my laundry the other day I knew it was the perfect moment to do a quarter deed. I had many options, and after thinking long and hard, I decided to perform a sneaky quarter deed. I simply walked over and slipped a quarter in the change slot of the vending machine. I love this decision of a quarter deed. I may never know when the deed will take place or to whom. I will not know what their reaction will be or if they even notice. Sometimes these can be the best acts of service. Sometimes it is good to know that I am doing a good deed and it is a great feeling to be a secret agent in the hands of God. Yep, that's right...we can all be a secret agent by simply giving acts of service and doing as the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ would do while on this earth.

As it says in the King James version of the Bible in Matthew 25:40
"...Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Spiffily yours,
Dish Towel :)
