Restaurant.com Celebrates the Gift of Giving With the Feed It Forward Program
Restaurant.com announced on November 26th the return of the “Feed It Forward” program, a 30-day initiative to support the important act of giving, despite these persistent economic hardships. Now until Christmas, individuals are entitled to give up to $9,000 in Restaurant.com gift certificates, from a total pool of $30 million, to family, friends and co-workers located anywhere in the country—at no cost.
The Feed It Forward initiative is built upon a single giving Web site, www.Restaurant.com/FeedItForward, stocked with a total of three million, $10 Restaurant.com gift certificates totaling $30 million. The site will be live through midnight PST on Dec. 25 and allows individuals to go online to give gift certificates on a first come, first serve basis. Gift givers choose whom to give to and gift recipients then decide where to dine among more than 6,500 participating Restaurant.com restaurants nationwide.
To send free $10 gift certificates, gift givers simply enter their name and email address, as well as information for the people they wish to give to—as many as 30 people each day for the length of the initiative. They can go to www.Restaurant.com/FeedItForward every day and share gift certificates with people anywhere in the country, giving out a total value that far exceeds even the most impressive holiday gift giving budget during the healthiest of economic times.
Feed It Forward 2009 features include:
- Generous “daily give” allowance – Givers can give to up to 30 people per day, with the potential of giving up to $9,000 worth of Restaurant.com gift certificates through the duration of the program.
- Feed It Forward Facebook application – The application allows givers to easily access their friend network and select those they wish to give to. Recipients are sent messages alerting them of their free gift and givers’ status updates will reflect the amount of gift certificates they have given and who has received them.
- Personal message delivery – Beyond sharing their giving story publicly on the giving site, participants can choose to write a separate, private note that will be sent along with the electronic gift certificate, making the surprise of a gift certificate that much more meaningful.
Come on people, send one to all your family and friends. It’s free money for them to take you out to eat!

Mixed Feelings
I don’t know how I really feel about the “written” form of my blogging anymore. Since I have so much fun doing the audio version of my site on the podcast, I kinda wish I could do more to get across my feelings, expressions, and all around opinions on the stuff that matters to me and whats in my life. What if I started doing a short “Video Digest” as a post or two a week to supplement not doing so many written ones. I mean listen, I like blogging, I just don’t like having to get my readers to understand how I feel or what mood I’m in. This way I could do a short 2-3 minute entry, and it come out the way I want it to, and it can mean what I want it to mean. Anybody agree or disagree? Let me know!
The Reason Kids Should Clean Their Rooms
You know….growing up, the biggest thing that my parents tried to drive into my skull was that cleaning your room should be a pretty high priority in your adolescent life. I often wondered as a child why I always had to keep my room clean or make sure that it was always picked up and ready for inspection after I got done. I don’t think I ever figured it out. I guess I just thought it had something to do with responsibility!
When Crystal and I got married and we were talking about us being parents and the rules that we would set forth and uphold, we agreed on most, but one stood out among the rest. Like I said, I was taught that a child’s room should be kept clean and organized. She, on the other hand, thought that is their room and they should be responsible for it and can do whatever they want! If they want to live in a crap-hole….fine
Taylor's Room
We now know why …….the REAL reason why you should always make sure that your child’s room is cleaned up. Not just because it teaches them organizational skills, not because it gives them a since of responsibility….no…. It’s for when they get sick and throw up all over the floor! If they maintain their room the floor will be clean, spotless and free of toys, books, blankets, and clothes for when they decide to redecorate the room with their sick! You will not have to wash Barbie’s hair out or wipe every intricate part of a toy light-saber. You know and they know that a whole lot of time and toys will be saved by them cleaning their room.
Late,
Yep, I Deleted It!
No entry….I just deleted the whole thing that I have been working on for 3 days! Not happy…..going to leave and find something to break. I am not starting over, I am not going to finsh all of my thoughts, I am not going to keep going on and on in this post, I do not like green eggs and ham! (Exhales deeply like Vader) Hhhuuuuuuhhh! Well, in that case I might as well go!

I have a little addiction to those malted Easter eggs….can’t wait for them to disappear from the stores. Also, don’t rip off your kids by raiding their Easter baskets….you know you do…what? You never have? OK…that’s fine…that’s fine.

Finally out of the bathroom….
New walls
Now I know what everyone is thinking, “finally out of the bathroom? What’s he doing In there? Awww Ryan what’s up with the potty talk?”. Well, actually I am referring to my endeavors of being a carpenter or as some would say a “handy-man”. The past two weekends I had my parents come out so that my dad and I could spruce up our bathroom. There was some nasty yellow wallpaper that was done by the previous owners that must have been hung by a child or maybe a teen for some school project or something. Anyways, I think the new stuff looks amazing! Totally different look in a place that really needed some help. I really was thinking of opening up a business at one time, that specializes in coming into an area that is mainly used, worked in, or occupied by a male that wants to re-do an area, but doesn’t want to have antlers hanging everywhere, fish on the wall, or sports junk everywhere. Just give great practical looks to an area that men usually dwell in and make it appealing for them, and others that have to live in and around it. Especially when dudes are going to be dealing with the ladies coming over. Say you are in your early 20’s, and you are a guy, fresh out of school, college, military, prison….whatever, and you have a date or something, and the chick is coming to your house before to meet up with you there. Well, you don’t want her walking in and seeing your entire original Star Wars action figure collection thumb-tacked to the wall next to your Jessica Alba posters or her walking in and seeing half a dozen dead animals peering back her and hearing stories on how you killed each one and “hauled it off in yer pick-up truck”! I think guys should have an interesting living space created for them, by them, but just have some boundaries and some ideas on what style looks like. If I ever do it I was thinking of calling “Home Manteriors” eh? ehh? Like it? Would you watch it on HGTV?
Later,
Ryan
