From A Foodbank Volunteer

 Lots of folks are food insecure.   When you make donations to a food bank here are some considerations:

Sharing from a Food Bank Volunteer:

1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac & Cheese in the box. But it needs milk & butter which is hard to get from food banks.

2. Boxed Milk is a treasure.  Kids need it for cereal, which they get a lot of.

3. Everyone donates pasta sauce & spaghetti noodles.

4. Canned Foods should be Pop Tops OR donate Can Openers.

5. Oil is a luxury needed for Rice a Roni which they get a lot of.

6. Spices, Salt & Pepper are a real gift.

7. Tea bags & Coffee are caring gifts.

8. Sugar & Flour are treats.

9. Important are fresh produce donated by farmers & grocery stores.

10. Seeds are great in spring & summer because growing can be easy for some.

11. Rarely is there fresh meat.

12. Tuna & Crackers make a good lunch.

13.  Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.

14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but NEED sandwich bread.

15. Butter or Margarine are good.

16. Eggs are a commodity!

17. Cake mix & Frosting makes it possible to make a child's birthday cake.

18. Dishwashing Detergent is very expensive & is always appreciated.

19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury & women will cry over them.

20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

Welcome, 2021

Why I Love Chris Rose

 How did a fey, weakling, incurious, gorging, cowardly bully take control of an entire American political party and drag the country into ruin and division? What could anyone possibly fear in this man? His Tweets? Jesus Fuckballs, he's a bloated shit cake with no empathy, intelligence or imagination. It boggles the mind.

I Just Learned this Today

 In the city of New Orleans is the Katrina memorial.  Below are pictures of it from the air.  

From New Orleans Uncovered Facebook page:

The New Orleans Katrina Memorial's design evokes the hurricane's shape. Top photo shows the location of the memorial between the cemeteries near the end of Canal Street. The memorial received the remains of the scores of unidentified or unclaimed victims and was dedicated to their memory.

I originally posted about the idea of this memorial in 2007. Here's the link: https://thanks-katrina.blogspot.com/2007/04/nola-katrina-memorial.html
