I forgot to mention that HFH projects can occur any time during the year. For big projects they can spread it throughout the year. Of course a lot of activities usually occur in the summer just because of the weather and vacation.
++++++++++++

One other thing about HFH - You can help them out by looking in your local community for fundraisers, too. There are a couple of churches in my town that have large Garage Sales to raise money for them. Since nobody in this town ever does anything original I’m sure that HFH does this everywhere. These suckers are great because people all over town donate stuff and then they have a big 2-day event to sell it all. I helped a friend collect stuff one year and I know we should all volunteer and all that stuff…but…never again! One man’s junk…to me…is another man’s junk, too!

If Brad did not volunteer for Habitat for humanity, we would not be discussing that organization right now. He didn’t just give his time to this cause, he lent his name. That kind of press is worth millions of dollars in publicty, all over the world. I believe in fate and I think if it must be said that he wouldn’t be in the position he’s in if it wasn’t for his looks, then there’s areason he’s got them. If he had been born to a rich family instead and gave money and time to these causes, would it make him more sincere?

This isn’t about how he came to be where he is, it’s about the personal choices he made to be who he is. To the people who think he’s not doing enough, what have you accomplished today with your negativity? How dare you say he does it for some kind of personal gain? These homes are built one brick at a time, and that is how the world is made a better place, one person at a time. Would he be somehow better if he did nothing at all? You’re a sorry and pathetic human being.

I’ve got to stop reading backwards.

Anon, I can’t believe you. It is CLEAR he was there for a lot of today [or whenever the pictures were taken] and he CLEARLY did a lot of different jobs on the house. Do you think they will take all the work he did out when he leaves? Of course not. In that case, he DID contribute, his contribution is valued by those receiving the gift of his time, and from those tiny shots on Ramey, he had a BALL! Just for your information, Habitat uses FREE labor. It doesn’t matter how many low skilled laborers there are in India or anywhere else. They do not pay. At least they don’t around here. My dad has done some work for them locally. You don’t have to admire him - though why come HERE if you don’t is beyond me - but you must admit that he did what he did for the project, not for any self promotion. He doesn’t NEED any promotion of ANY kind!! HE is BRAD PITT! Geesh!

Thank you a million times to whoever posted the Ramey pix link. Doesn’t he look happy in those pictures? He must look at his former life and just shake his head. I’m so glad he allows these little glimpses into the changes he has made. The man is truly inspiring.

Now, WHEN, WHERE are we meeting to form the take down party? I REALLY need the roof fixed!!

PT, we have an online auction in Dallas. I was thinking about donating my old albums or excess fabric, but, the items they were getting from sponsors - Home Depot certificates, Dinners, brand new hardware, etc… - would really make my stuff look piddly and like junk. http://www.dallas-habitat.org/special/index.php

Thanks Jared for the pictures & article. You are great!

Catching up on these posts before we go to bed, I’ve noticed how unique the BAMZS threads are. Look at all the information and even a link you’ve posted about HfH. While we do get goofy at times and act like schoolgirls. we are a group like no other in the world of celebrity blogs. If they want to call me a Brangeloonie
I’ll wear that title like a medal of honor.

IF BRAD HAD HES SHIRT OFF WHILE HE WAS DOING THIS I WOULD DIE HAPPY I WANT HIM TO FIX MY HOUSE!!!!!

I watched the splash video of Braddy working on this site — man, he has changed so much! His gait has confidence written all over it, he seems so self-assured, like a real man. The haters keep saying that Angie has led him around like a puppy, but watching that video I could see no little puppy but a very self-confident person who knew and liked what he was doing.

HE BE HOT!!! He’s so sexy and hot just doing everyday stuff. I wish he could come and fix me — errr, me kitchen!

what splash video?

briseis; thanx for the link!!!

Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I’m putting down
Hey babe, I’m your handy man

I’m not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I’m handy with love and I’m no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can

If your broken heart should need repair
Then I’m the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They’ll come runnin’ to me

Here is the main thing I want to say
I’m busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can

Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They’ll come runnin’ to me

That’s me
I’m your handy man

I just dont understand why you are so negative. Brad and Angie set a good example to others. Celebrity involvement draws attention to people who would otherwise be invisible.

A few quotes from J. Sachs:—.

“….thanks partly to the work of celebrities, the poverty issue is higher up the global agenda than ever before. Real progress is being made……” He was talking about the efforts of Bono and Jolie have pushed the “Make poverty history” high up the G8 agenda.

“….the key is to give a hand up so that people below the ladder of development who cant even get on the first rung…can start climbing on their own…”

I suggest you read up about UN millennium project or go to habitat.org . Dont be cynical !!!

briseis…thanks for the link…jared thanks for the pics….you are awesome…love more brad…love more angie
