October 2012

I was thinking that it would be nice if we could find one or two families directly affected by Sandy and give to them, without the help of charity agency brokerage. This is how I have practiced donations for years now.

Unlike Joplin, the aftermath of Katrina, and Greensburg, I am not in a position to find that family for myself. So I need some help finding a family to give to. Anyone got any ideas on how I can help in the manner I find to be the most rewarding to both recipient and donor. Anyone here have ideas on how I may do that?

I also thought it might be nice of the blog here adopted a family or two and we just gave to them directly, without charity brokerage, their odd judgement calls and their high administrative costs.

What are your thoughts on this?

Following 9-11, the Red Cross, with all the heartfelt giving that come from the people of this country, decided to stop helping the families and persons directly affected by that terrible day, choosing instead to keep their own coffers full. Or At least that is how I saw it.

Maybe I’m just not very good at expressing affection. I mean, is posting a youtube link– in hopes that it will explode my dear friend Timbuk’s brain– any way to say “Hi! Thinking of you!!”? On the other hand, although the lady in the video appears to be a quack, easily refuted by a scientist like Timbuk, maybe she’s onto something: After all, as she notes, Steven Hawkingz invented the vibrator. And what if we could take all the vibration in a vibrator and pack it into a bomb, and pack that bomb into a youtube link, and leave that link here like a bag of flaming dog shit on this blog’s doorstep, and when I, ahem, ring Timb’s “buzzer” and run away… won’t his subsequent ejaculation of laughter or disgust (or whatever state of energy Timb is composed of)… won’t his popping-off like a champagne-bottle money shot… prove this dumb twat’s theory of homeopathic energy? Let the scientific experiment begin:
