It never makes me feel I've actually contributed, though - too easy, I guess. Now, handing money or baked goods directly to scads of local charities always makes me feel righteous. Instant gratification. |

From: Liz the Squeak A quick visit has me at 45, but the cat did interrupt me by jumping on the keyboard and ruining my chances. Like Bee, although it says I've dontated 486 grains of rice, which is what.... half a small kedgeree?, I don't feel I've acutally done anything worthwhile. LTS |
