thanks for donating

when you're going to donate an item (any item) to a charity (any charity), please be sure that all the pieces and parts of said item are present with the donation. there's nothing like getting something and then realizing that it's missing half the pieces and you can't put it all together, thus rendering this item completely useless. on the same token, if you're donating something, make sure the item is in relatively good condition. as in, "sure these socks have a hole in the toe but if you have no socks, holey socks are better than none." i guess that's true. but come on, people, everyone deserves and wants un-holey socks. no matter how needy you are. so please folks, when you give to charity give something that would actually work.

thank you.

A note from my own experience...

... Holey socks can be repaired with...

a) Duct Tape
b) Staples

so true, but you are one of the few people i know who wants to walk around with duct tape and staples in your socks. i, myself, have found that rather uncomfortable. so when i get new or new-to-me socks, i'd like for them to be unholey.
