Celine Dion is ranting and raving and making all kinds of sense.
It really is the end of the world, isn't it?
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
From the Chicago Sun-Times, another story of prompt, abundant help offered to FEMA and refused. So fucking appalling.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said he would call for congressional hearings into the federal government's preparations and response.
Good.

Here's some donation-matching foundations/businesses that caught my eye:
The Barry Manilow Fund is actually giving double what people contribute -- the fund itself matches the donation, and then, according to the website, Barry himself is matching the donation. So $1 = $3 thanks to the dude who writes the songs that make the whole world sing.
Whole Foods is matching in-store contributions, up to $1 million.
Amoeba Music is matching donations made at their stores. (Hec, time to go shopping!)
Best Buy is matching in-store contributions up to $1 million.
Peet's Coffee will match up to $25,000; donations go to the Red Cross, and you can donate online.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Steph, thanks. We need to get some groceries tonight, so I'm thinking we might make it a Whole Foods kind of evening. (Especially as what we need is cream, coffee, and olive oil.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was just thinking the same thing, Plei, except about tomorrow morning, and what I need is dutched cocoa.

Perkins, does your Whole Foods even have it? Ours does not.
However, lest you despair, the top ranking one in the CI test was the Hershey's, now relabeled "Special Dark".

See, there aren't any damn Whole Foods in Cincy. So, for the time being, I'm going to donate through the Manilow Fund, while it's still turning my $1 into $3.

Thank you, Steph. My company (ptuirichfuckers) is not doing matching funds, so at least now I have a place to oomph my money.

I haven't looked at this one, but the one in LA is where I got it for ita.
I have hershey's already, so maybe I'll find some other reason to go.
I am very proud of myself right now, by the way. I have a menu for the week planned, and a shopping list prepared. Tomorrow is going to be shopping and cooking day. It will probably be much more fun than Monday, which is laundry day.
