Tomato Nation

Tomato Nation is probably my favorite blog of all time.  I have been reading this web site for over ten years.

Why I like Tomato Nation:
  1. The Vine:  Hilarious and spot on advice.  Sars is not afraid to tell it like it is. (One of the funniest Vine letters ever is the second letter at this link:   http://tomatonation.com/vine/the-vine-september-19-2001/)
  2. Grammar:  I have a good sense of grammar because I read a lot, but my grammar knowledge is amateur in comparison to hers.
  3. The Nation:  The other people who read and/or comment on Tomato Nation are intelligent and give well considered responses.  It's one of the few sites where I truly look forward to reading the comments in addition to the blog posts.
  4. Charity:  Every year, Tomato Nation hosts a charity event to raise money for DonorsChoose.org.  If you haven't heard of this charity, they raise money to buy school supplies for classrooms across the country.  In addition to helping our underfunded education system, contributors work toward a goal set by Sars.  If that goal is achieved, antics ensue.  The first year of the contest, she shaved her head!
So head on over and check out Tomato Nation.
