*~*~Gardening for a good cause!! *~*~
For those of you who like to garden and need to stock up on plants or supplies - AND want to help out a good cause, the link below has a "coupon" that will donate 15% of your pre-tax total at Linders to the Tuberous Sclerosis Allicance (TSA).

It is only good this weekend - May 20th- 23rd.
Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) is the condition my nephews have/had. It causes calcified tubers (tumors essentially) to form on organs - and from there all sorts of other problems can arise - seizures, autism, vision and heart problems, etc. My nephews have a pretty severe version of it - but it can be quite mild and only result in skin discoloration that looks like freckles or ligth/bleached patches. The last I heard, 1 in about 10,000* people have it and while it it is genetic, only 1/3 of the cases are hereditary. The rest are just "flukes". My nephews are/were a fluke.
TS doesn't get a lot of attention, thus it doesn't get a lot of funding - so every little bit helps!
ETA:
* looked it up and I guess it is 1 in 6,000 people have TS - so it is slightly more common than I thought, but really, not by much.
