JANE: I overheard Alex talking about action figure hands and now I can't stop thinking about it. (2) LISA: That's . . . interesting. Want to help me get the guys in a poker game? JANE: I think the rest of us are distracted by the hand thing right now. (3) LISA: [Sigh] I'm going to have to ask Joe to check that microwave. (4) LISA: I understand you not wanting to play me. It's easier to just give me money. JANE: You . . . you . . . Fine, I'm in.]]> Action Figure Diary http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=216 Mon, 7 Dec 2009 07:30:00 -0800 <![CDATA[(#199) Alex: Have you ever looked at your hand?]]> http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=214 (1) ALEX: Have you ever looked at your hand? I mean, really looked at it? BRIAN: Did you fall asleep next to the microwave or something? (2) ALEX: Why do our hands move like human hands? BRIAN: Why wouldn't they? (3) ALEX: We don't have muscles. We don't have bones. Why should our movements match those of beings that have muscles and bones? (4) BRIAN: I promise to look it up and explain it to you if you stop talking that way. You're freaking me out.]]> Action Figure Diary http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=214 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:30:00 -0800 <![CDATA[(#198) Lisa: Why should it stop here?]]> http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=212 Lisa I'm so proud that our family helped TomatoNation.com exceed their fundraising goal for DonorsChoose.org! The overall goal was $210,000 and the final tally was over $300,000. According to TomatoNation.com, that money will help over 50,000 students.

The readers of TomatoNation.com have done an amazing thing by pulling together to help so many kids and they did it in one month! It's so wonderful. I don't want it to be over.

There are still a lot of kids who need help. Why should it stop here?

I know what I have to do.

LISA: No, the kids need our money. ALEX: Would they like some old comic books? LISA: No, the kids need our money. JANE: Will I have to go to the classroom? LISA: No, the kids need our money. LISA: We want to send our allowance to DonorsChoose.org. TRISH: I'll match it. The kids need our money.

TomatoNation.com is having a contest this October to raise money for DonorsChoose.org. If the action figures can help students, you can too. Read about the 2009 Donors Choose contest at TomatoNation.com.
