Virtual Candlelight vigil/rally for Alzheimer's

You can light a virtual candle for a loved one with Alzheimer's for free (or with a small donation...come on, make a small donation) at the Alzheimer's Association website.
My dad's candle is here.  It says, "Miss you, Dad.  Enjoy the Elsewhere Bar and be kind to the Newbies."

From the site:
On the evening of March 7, 2010, advocates will gather on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, share their stories and light candles in honor of loved ones. This moving ceremony is part of the Alzheimer's Association annual Alzheimer's Action Summit. Show your support by lighting a virtual candle now and becoming an Alzheimer's champion. You will be able to write a personal message that will appear on this site.
If you are on FACEBOOK, the Alzheimer's Association is asking you to put this as your status:
More than 5,000,000 people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s disease. If you have been touched by this disease or know someone who has, please post this as your status and use your VOICE in the fight to end Alzheimer’s.

Facebook


I'm on Facebook. Well, kinda. I got tired of all my friends saying "why aren't you on Facebook?" and explaining that I never check my Myspace pages so why do I need another social networking site I'll just ignore? Then I got the bright idea of giving one of my cats a Facebook page. So search for Ursula Bear (Facebook requires a real sounding name and wouldn't take Princess Pinknose, which is what I wanted her page under) and befriend her, if you are on Facebook. Ursi is much funnier on Facebook than she is in real life. Here are some of the pictures she has chosen to post.
