kiva pays out, stonehenge breaks down

'I'd love to teach a man how to fish.' This is the motto behind Kiva.org. The idea is called micro-lending. You lend small amounts of cash to people who need it so they can start some kind of business. It's just the little boost they need to get their idea off the ground. The lender stays updated with the borrowers progress through the site. Plus there is a 95% return of investment. So instead of giving cash to some big charity that you have no idea where the money actually goes, this type of lending hooks you up to the people you are helping out. kiva.org is just one of the many.

Ooohhh, this kinda thing makes my mouth water just at its simplicity. Can't wait to get my feet wet. Thanks for the tip Ben.

Also, a guy may have just cracked the century's old question of how they built Stonehenge. Thanks David.

On another random note about umm... well: I feel like some people view their life like their at the bottom of a hole they never seem to be able to get out of. I try to look at it like we're all born on the mountaintop. It's just a matter of figuring out how to stay up there.
