I don't know what's wrong. I slept something like 14 hours today, I'm still a bit out of it. Guess I'm a little sick. *shrugs*
Anyway, on the topic of the tsunammi, which you've noticed I've avoided talking about... My mom, every time there's a disaster, she makes sure to mention that the Red Cross is Not To Be Trusted, that there've been horror stories about the Red Cross helping out and then asking for payment after, that they don't spend as much in areas as they should, that sort of thing. I don't know if that's true, and, really, it doesn't make a difference. She actually wants to help out with the disaster, she's not going to donate to the Red Cross, if anybody has any other reputable charities for her, that'd be wonderful.
Thanks.
Edit: Better question, does anybody know where I can find out how much a charity gives to it's intended recipients out of every dollar it recieves?
