Giving back - What do you do?
Questions recently came up in regards to what do you do to give back to the community?
This is an opportunity to see how domainers give back to their community and volunteer.
It is one thing to b*tch about the current state of affairs and how your government can make things better for you. But what do you do to make things better for those around you?
This is not so much a bragging post but a genuine demonstration that life is not all about me, me, me...

Maintain a website for local fire department programs.
Crossing guard for the elementary school down the road. I have a waist holder for my laptop so I can keep up with domaining while I am helping the kids cross the road. Only one has been hit so far this year, but the important thing was I won the auction.
Donate money to church and local programs. Donate to just about every mailer I receive in the mail asking to feed a family.
Is this totally true or partially?Originally Posted by jdk
Never know about those domainers.

I do a walk around my community each night. I also maintain and host a website for an industry expert for free.
I give blood each time there is a blood drive at work (every 3 months).
I used to make a trip to Sam's club just to get food for a local food drive each Christmas but due to financial times I haven't been able to the past few years.
I also host a website for my wife's dog training club and building a community for her religious group.
Save the wolves - join The Wolf Army today!
Please follow the rules or suffer the wrath of Thor's Hammer.
Why don't you tell us first how you give back to the community?
Or are you one of those hypocrites who preaches to others what they should do but would never do yourself?

I do some Bigger Brothering, and donate to ecological causes.
I go 3 days every week for some hours in a medical center of my city to help some guys with handicap (for free).
I like it so much, I've meet some special friends there and this is a great human experience.
It's not a special thing do it...the special thing is the love these peoples give me everytime I meet them.
The beauty of a man is inside...not in the bank.
You are priceless.

Certified Handler/Trainer of Therapy Dogs International (TDI)
http://www.tdi-dog.org/
Creation of Therapy Readying program created at local Elementary School
- sessions are conducted once a week with 3 20 minutes sessions with 3 students per session. Children read to Cotton, our first certified (TDI) dog. Children loose inhibitions of shyness and introvertedness reading to dogs. Program has proven successful in identifying children with reading skills problems as well as speech issues at an early age.
(Featured in school newspaper. Have been contacted by many other schools and local TV station and newspaper)
Presently Training two additional dogs (Simmon and Abby) for TDI to be utilized on a greater scale to meet increased demand at local schools and children's hospitals. Thus the need for my certification as well. All liability is paid for by TDI. Two other dogs (Mobi and Lexi) are being rehabbed themselves - Mobi for bilateral leg surgery and Lexi for Agility Competition.
All 5 of the present of proposed therapy dogs are Labrador Retrievers. The other three are terrier mixes.
(Spring I will also be going through training and certification).
Therapy sessions at the County Children's Home.
- New ground has been broken by bringing Cotton to therapy sessions involving troubled teens. Teens are found to be less stressful and calmer with Cotton present sitting next to the teen for comfort. Utmost privacy and background checks are a must. This is a first for TDI dogs that we are aware of. Soon we will have three TDI certified dogs.
Development and maintaining numerous ad free websites for community health and education to include (partial list in various stages of production or finished)
iCPR.mobi
iHosp.mobi
CottonsKids.com (permission must be obtained from parents before pictures posted)
All the above is done free of charge and without ever asking for any gratuity or donations.
Just part of the hypocrite in me.

I knew you couldn't resist Doc.
Good job.

And I knew you couldn't resist.
You have demonstrated the same pattern over and over and have left a trail.
I would love to ignore you but I have enjoyed the sport of watching you make an as* of yourself. You do it with such little effort.
As usual, you enter a thread with nothing to offer except your sarcasm and pseudo intellect.
You have added nothing except detracting from a serious thread...again.

We sponsor about two dozen foster children in various countries around the world, we have their photos and letters up in the office.
We do monthly contributions to a famine relief body and a couple of homeless shelters more locally, as well as a local adult literacy organization.
I've been planning on getting a bit more active than just contributing money, I want to start a "financial literacy" program in the inner city neighborhood near our offices. Still working on that one.
I buy domains with javascript backlinks. PM me.
I don't know what your problem is Doc, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
Is this your way of getting me to post my contributions and charities?... Think I'll pass, most everyone here knows of the charity work I do, so why advertise it? I don't have anything to prove to anyone, but you obviously feel that you do.
Oh, Remember that time I told you I thought you were cool? I LIED.
I do as well.... If you dont mind me asking, What countries and what age group are the Children?

We donated blood once. Wife passed out afterwards. No more donating after that
Very easy to pronounce...intolerance.
Intolerant and tired of reading your bullshit and constant blaming everything and everybody else for the world's ills. You must be miserable.

She's just like me, I passed out when the hospital drew blood for testing, They filled up 2 tubes and I passed out on the floor... They say it was because of being so small and under weight but I dont know how true that is.We donated blood once. Wife passed out afterwards. No more donating after that
You really need to chill Doc, your going to have a heart attack before your 16th birthday...
I think you should do what you do best, Get out of domaining and into the stock market, When your IQ reaches 50, SELL!.

Hey Raider... with the new vBulletin, names with dashes in them do not resolve to the proper profile's page. It kept pulling some random profile 24x7 the admins told me they could not fix it and I should just change my name... and I finally decided to change it to foxo.com... kind of wish I kept the .com out of there though... I had a wine or 2 ;-)...I'll ask them to change it
