OK, so I ordered a bunch of charity wristbands, and as we all know... they don't ever come by themselves... so I now have a lot of them. If anybody wants any, I'll mail them to you for free, but you've got to do something.

If you want one of these:

... you have to start visiting http://www.thehungersite.com and all of the affiliates daily (which you should already do anyway).

If you want one of these:

... please make a donation to the American Cancer Society. Big or small, doesn't matter.



Just PM me with your address and I'll send them out when I get a chance. :D

I want a purple to go with my pink and a green to go with my blue!!!


I don't think I've ever paid for my charity bracelets. Which is why you should send them to Sarah. :nod:

:lol: I like your reasoning.

OK, The Hunger Site and the affiliates work like this. I always start with The Hunger Site first, because it's the main one. You go to the site, then in the center of the page, you'll see a yellow button that looks like this:

Click that, and it will take you to a page with a bunch of ads on it (which are how the site makes money to pay for the food you've just "donated"). Then scroll down a bit and you'll see links to all the other sites. It'll look like this:

Next is The Breast Cancer Site. It's the same format as The Hunger Site, as are all the others. Whenever you click the button on the main page and are taken to that page of links, just scroll down to find all the links to the other sites and go in the order they're in (they stay in the same order on all the sites, except the site you're currently on won't be listed).

When explained, it sounds complicated, but it's really not. I do all of them in a matter of seconds every day. :)

I do them all every day too :) You're right, it doesn't take long at all.

No problemo. :D More people wearing them = more people knowing about the charities.

What exactly would I do with 36 bracelets, anyway? :lol:

:lol: I should put them all on. Just once. And take pictures.

Gotta wait til the American Cancer Society ones get here, though.

You should just walk around with like 40 something bracelets on your arm. It would be sweet.

:lol: They kinda cut off the circulation when I put them too high on my arm, though.
