We just got a new kitten last week. I was really nervous how our three year old shih-tzu would react. When they first met our dog gave the kitten a bath, and ever since they cuddle or play at every given chance. Her cuteness MMM.

Starting next week, Cheezburger will be rolling out an all new and totally improved version of “It Made My Day”, with updates in all areas, including user interaction and experience, content, voting and submission format. Our main goal with the overhaul is to improve the site for our users, by making it easier to share, submit, and spread the happy each and every day.

The new “It Made My Day” will include these new features, just to name a few:
-A new lolbuilder just for IMMD users, where you can caption and share your own inspirational stories like never before!
-A simplified submission tool, where you can submit multiple forms of media faster and easier than ever before!
-An increased number of posts, so there’s more of what you love!
-And so much more!

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you next week!

The kids I babysit were having a Harry Potter duel on the sidewalk this afternoon, with paintbrushes for wands, yelling spells at each other and laughing hysterically. Every person who walked by looked at them and grinned so big, IMMD watching the kids M other people's Ds!!

While on my afternoon run, I saw my elderly neighbor with tons of grocery bags. I stopped to help him bring them all in and he was shocked by my kindness. Today, I found a thank you note and giftcard to that grocery store in my mailbox. Unncessary, but still, IMMD

‘Help Us Adopt’ Connects Prospective Parents With Adoption Funds

“After spending over $40,000 to adopt her first child, Becky Fawcett knew that other qualified families must be struggling to foot the cost to create a family.

‘I sat there and thought if…I was told that I was not going to be a mother because I couldn’t afford adoption, I don’t even know what I would have done,’ said Fawcett, 40. ‘I don’t know who I would have turned to for help. It just hit me. I knew how lucky we were.’

So, she took action. In 2007, she founded Help Us Adopt, a nonprofit that issues financial assistance to families looking to adopt. Twice a year, her organization reviews applications and awards grants directly to the adoption facilities used by approved prospective parents. At least 43 families have been approved for funds through Fawcett’s organization, including single parents and at least one gay couple.

‘We’re helping all types of families,’ she told CNN. ‘We believe in family — period. We believe in loving children — period.’”

I just finished chemistry class and took the final. After class, I and two of my class mates stayed after to find out how we did. The professor took me aside and said I got a B+, and said he was disappointed because he was expecting me to get an A. So we looked over the test. I pointed out he graded a question wrong. He corrected it and calculated my grade. Final grade for the class was bumped from a B+ to an A. IMMD.

When my husband joined the Army almost a year ago, he told me that his goal was to score a 275 out of 300 on his PT test. He had lost 70 lbs to get in but was still getting in shape. He called me this morning to let me know that he got 276 today. Hearing him so happy about his accomplishment MMD.
