It’s more effective to give a check if donating to large food banks who can buy from Second Harvest for pennies a pound. A $1 can of peas costs $.16/lb. Plus when you donate items they have to be handled multiple times by volunteers & employees. $100 to the North Texas Food Bank buys 300 meals!

Tell us a perfect album that came out when you were sixteen. Sorry, it's a multi-tie: The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Joni Mitchell; Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen; Katy Lied, Steely Dan; and the too-aptly-titled Welcome to my Nightmare, Alice Cooper. Best of times, worst of times?
