I Give A Shit! [Haiti Do-Gooder Diet]

I've been imagining what we'd do if Bagel Hole and Terrace Bagels and even PS 321 (not to mention sundry neighbors) were under rubble.

So I just donated my children's after school candy and my residual holiday over-eating funding stream to Haitian relief. I figure I'll finally stop eating copious amounts of cinnamon toast butter and bread from the farmer's market, fit into my jeans again, and appease my easily-appeased conscience.  

If I didn't have a 10 year old cell phone, I could have texted in my donation (Text "Yele" to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund--the charge will appear on your next cell phone bill).I went with Wyclef (Yele.org) by the way, because he says 100% is going to relief efforts...and also I like the Fugees.  

Here's 9 more ways you can help RIGHT NOW (well 8, minus the Yele thing).

Who Gives A Shit: Where the Fuck is my Mail?

If you Google the words, "Why am I not," you'll get a big, crusty slice of humanity—the unanswered questions of an entire population of unfulfilled losers:

Why am I not married?
What am I not getting pregnant?
Why am I not losing weight?
Why am I not a Christian?

Or, my personal favorite, why am I not happy?

But all of these sad questions are irrelevant to me now, because my query was, simply, "why am I not getting my mail?"
