Ah, but you see, the cleft palate is not a genetic defect (usually). Rates of cleft palate are higher in many third-world countries due to malnourishment--which can include a lack of folic acid in the mother's diet. (See the link.)
Yet another reason to be grateful, don't you think? Despite our collective complaints about so many things in our country, most of us do not suffer from malnourishment.
Anyone interested in knowing how I found Operation Smile? This really can be a beautiful world ... (and isn't that a *great* song?!?!) It's a pretty good story.

Makes me wish I could slip away for that long tomorrow night. Alas.....
But you did prompt me to take a look at the children's charity tonight. We have been blessed with beautiful children, and it is heartbreaking to see when genetics go wrong.
So I was indulging myself in the tub this morning, thinking, "Hey, I've got an expected free night on Tuesday... I wonder if anyone wants to join me .. . . "
Here's what I came up with.
Read carefully, please.
I love good charities. If you've ever visited my website, you may have noticed some links to organizations like Doctors Without Borders and Operation Smile. I **love** knowing that some of my companions and I have helped contribute to such virtuous groups.
If you're not familiar with DWB, for now, just know that they mean it--they are doctors and other medical professionals who disregard political "sides." These medical professionals from all over the world travel where they are needed most to provide medical care to the those left devastated and injured by war and natural disasters. These are real-life heroes, people with courage, and I like supporting them, however humble my contributions are.
Operation Smile is another group of medical professionals; they travel to third-world countries helping children born with cleft palate and other facial deformities. With the help of a twist of fate, many of these children are born to mothers whose diets are deficient in folic acid (a B vitamin) and the unfortunate result is cleft palate. The good news is that cleft palate is not too terribly difficult for a skilled surgeon to "repair." The result is big, beautiful smiles on the faces of children whose faces were once deformed. What a great way to blow money--Operation Smile.
So ... since I have an unexpected evening free on Tuesday, I have an interesting proposition for one man who knows a good smile when he sees it.
For a three-hour date, you may have my two-hour rate, as long as you show me a receipt of your contribution to either DWB or Operations Smile for HALF of my two-hour rate. The remainder would be my own donation.
The numbers ... three-hour date is $1000; make that $700, with [at least] $350 made as a donation to DWB or Operation Smile, the remainder being my donation.
While I was soaking this morning, I thought that sounded like a win-win-win scenario (yes, a three-way!) Thanksgiving is this week. I myself am very thankful that I do not live in a war zone and that I was born with normal facial structure. How about you? Feeling grateful? What to create some goodness? Email me.
Of course, my regular screening policies are still in effect, and I still prefer to date only men over the age of forty, yadda yadda.
Let me know if you are out there .... the man who wants to help make little children smile really big and/or help care for war victims all over the world with me. It's that time of year, right?
And that sounds like a fun date idea. I'd love to see the new Bond movie tomorrow night ... .so if you'd like to take me, we can make that a clock-free date for my two-hour rate, as long as you show me that donation to Operation Smile or Doctors Without Borders.
Enjoy the new photo ... from my Bond Woman photo shoot last week : )
