I'll settle for a 'pity' f*ck -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 7, 11:49
I'll give you 10,000 used shoes, and you'll be grateful. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:31 27
- all left ones? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 11:46
- Whoa, you really are a hoarder. -- nm - Amy Jan 7, 11:32 2
  - good one -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 11:33
  - *snort* -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:32
- I bet people who don;t have shoes would be. -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:32 22
  - were you not around last year when we were discussing donating money vs. stuff to Haiti? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:33 21
    - a local SPCA/Humane Society is a different kettle of fish from an impoverished 3rd world country -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:35 20
      - it's still best to ask the recipient what's best for them. and even easier in the case of dealing witha local org. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:37 16
        
        yes. charity should be based on need, not based on what you want to donate. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:38 15
        
        ... unless it is something you know they will use. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:38 14
        
        which means you asked them what they needed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:39 13
        
        You are right, and Beaker is wrong. No way stray dogs and cats need food or blankets unless they tell me so. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:41 12
        
        If you are goign to donate food, you need to ask what kidn of food they want. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:42 11
        
        I'm gonna go off the board for this one and say, "dog and cat food." - Jim Jan 7, 11:43 9
        
        if you show up with a pallet of Fancy Feast in tiny cans, you arenot helping the shelter. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 8
        
        what do you have against Fancy Feast? -- nm - znu's cat Jan 7, 11:44 7
        
        it's the tiny cans part. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 6
        
        Eh, an employee takes it home for their cat instead of stealing dry cat food from the shelter. Same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:48 5
        
        that's a completely wasted donation, then. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:49 4
        
        I think it's a moot point. I can't imagine any Humane Society office turning down sealed pet food. - Jim Jan 7, 11:54 1
        
        I think mine would. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:56
        
        No, the employee does not steal the food that they *will* use. As I said, same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:51 1
        
        so it works great - loosilu Jan 7, 11:54
        
        Agreed. I am going to go ask the cats and dogs what kind of food they want. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:43
      - are they? They still have to store donated items if they can't use them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:36 2
        
        if a SPCA or Humane Society doesn't need food it would be a first that I could recall -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:38 1
        
        maybe they don't want the kind of food you're giving. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:39
