I'm going to explain it anyway - and it won't help.
That 20 years is fixed. The aging isn't.

Check out how much of the money that is donated to these "charities" actually goes to that cause. Pennies on the $. Wounded Warriors decided to take lavish business trips with all the $ they had donated. Things may have changed there, but even so, I wouldn't consider giving them a red cent.
You get all of these commercials on television, but every where that you go there is someone asking for money: the grocery stores, the pharmacy, etc. I always say no and would really like to say, "hell no." It is just so annoying.
I know a woman who crocheted a bunch of preemie hats and sent them to a hospital. She never heard a word from them, so she quit. I know that when my daughter was born, she was a preemie and received a hat with matching booties in the neo-natal nursery where she was for 15 days.I have made quilts for Project Linus.
For the local Children's hospital neonatal unit I have made the following:
layettes(bib,burp cloth,simple dress, simple shirt and pants, nightgowns,beanies,mittens)
fun surgery hats (older children like dino,Peppa Pig,wrestlers,etc)
knitted beanies for preemies.
have made blankets for the Veterans at the local nursing home several times.
But I don't donate money to any one charity.
I donate time.
This does several things:
1. keeps me busy.
2. cleans out my fabric stash,yarn stash
3. someone who actually needs it gets the help they need.
This has bugged me for many years. Just don’t understand.
A 20 year old has a baby. 5 years later he is 1/5 her age. 10 years later he is 1/3 her age. 20 years later he is ½ her age. 30 years later he is 3/5 her age. 40 years later he is 2/3 her age. 60 years later he is ¾ her age. I am afraid to go further because it might get to 100%.
Please don’t make my head explode by trying to explain it.

She was making the hats for the recognition instead of for the babies?
I have found some there as well. I have often wondered if they get sucked out when the tub is drained and pumped? Do they get pumped out with the water?@Peanut if you have a top loader check between the drum and the casing I used to find mine got wedged in there , or alternatively one is stuck to the drum that you didn't see, or alternatively the sock gremlin took it just to frustrate you a little more.

When my daughter was an infant, I bought a pair of socks to go with an outfit of hers. One went missing. I found it a while later in the corner of a fitted sheet.
I safety pin my socks together.Is there actually such a thing as a sock troll? Less than a week ago I bought 20 brand new pairs of white tube socks at ww. 40 new socks with the “Dickies” name on them. I cut up the previous 20 pairs and tossed them in the rag box (though the number was closer to 33 actual socks).
Today I washed 7 pairs of my new socks, I took them off at point A, hamper. I took them to point B, the washer, then to point C, the dryer, then to back to point A to fold and put them away.
Only I did not have 14 newly laundered socks when I put them in the drawer. I had 13 socks!!! Where did the other one go?
This little sock troll has plagued me for years!

Haven't lost any for a while.
OH my silly person!Doesn't that make it hard to walk ?
If you start your car owning 'career' with clunkers/junkers, that learning comes pretty much automatically. Along with mufflers & tailpipes and sparkplugs and. . .I don't understand how you learn to drive a car, but not to check the oil? Checking the oil and knowing how to change a flat tire should be prerequisites to getting a driver's license.
It is interesting to me how many people I know who have had their engine seize on them because of a lack of oil. I heard someone (female) say that she always lets her husband take care of the oil. Except when he didn't. And the car needs a new engine. These things were part of driver's ed in h.s. for me. We had to check the oil in the car, in front of the instructor. We had to change a tire, including jacking up the car.If you start your car owning 'career' with clunkers/junkers, that learning comes pretty much automatically.
