Charity donation for First communion & confirmation
Comments (6)First communion usually would happen to a young child. A donation is something on paper to them, and is equal to getting nothing. I think giving them something of a religious nature or even a good book would mean more to them. I always think that a gift is for the recipient and should be appropriate for them. I recently visited an elderly man who was hospitalized as part of my job for the court. I was surprised to see a donation had been made in his name and was sitting on his bedside table. He was angry and would have preferred a book or even a visit. Chase said that their parents and in laws are okay with it. So you have to know the giftee and what they want....See Morehave you donated a car to charity in the recent past? (u.s.)
Comments (14)Remember my little red '90 Dodge Colt, made by Mitsubishi, that I bought about '97 and drove for about seven years: it had a standard tranny and when I drove out almost daily to look after uncle's farm before it was sold that I found that I could coast over 16km. of the 20 km. trip? At something over 200,000 mi. the mechanic told me that I shouldn't drive it any more. I took it to a TV evangelist-related drug rehab "Teen Challenge Farm" nearby and they gave me a receipt for $400. for it. A friend at the investment group was surprised at my story, "What? They gave you a $400.00 receipt for that piece of _____!". They'd given one to him for something not too far over $100.00 for a newer (Ford, I think) that was in better shape, some time earlier, so his nose was rather out of joint over that deal. They signed the portion of my vehicle registration paper that's to be used for transfer, I took the plates off and took them home. A few days later I got a receipt in the mail for the $400.00 ... and had no trouble with it from the income tax people when I claimed it. ole joyful...See MorePennies (US) - they have become so wortless charity says no!
Comments (37)In 1900 the smallest denomination of coinage in the US was 1 cent (the half-cent was discontinued previously). In 2002, the smallest denomination of coinage in the US is 1 cent, but that one cent has less than 1/20th of the buying power than it did in 1900. If people in 1900 could do without half-cents (or 1/20th cents), I think we can do without the 1 cent token. The real workhorse of coinage is the quarter these days anyway... hey, that's pretty close to the value of a penny in 1900, go figure. At some point the US public is going to have to give up this cent. It appears to me that it is already happening to some degree. In addition to situations mentioned above (garbage can coinage, not picking up cents, etc.), please note that all of those "Have a penny, leave a penny. Need a penny, take a penny" cups at the registers are there for a voluntary rounding to the nearest nickel. Most establishments stock those cups with a roll of cents prior to starting the day. The cent is really no longer needed for daily transactions. Things can still be marketed in cents, just rounded to the nearest nickel upon completion of the transaction. That is no different than the way gasoline is priced since it is priced by the 1/10th's of a cent (and for some reason we function just fine without a 1/10th cent coin). Don't get me wrong. I pick up pennies and don't throw them away, but I also realize that they take up far more volume and weight in comparision to their store of value than other coinage does. I recently "cashed in" my son's "piggy bank". 40% of volume in pennies, 5% of cash value. Quarters, 40% of volume, 80% of cash value. Brian...See MoreVocabulary testing donate to charity
