What do you think?

Starbucks says it wants to allow donations from it's millions of visitors to the almost 7,000 company owned stores to stimulate the U.S. job growth. Starting November 1st they will be collecting donations of $5 or more and they say 100% of the donations will go toward loans for firms and organizations that can add jobs or stem job losses. Read more about it here. What do you think? Good idea? Will you be donating?

Donating

I did something a couple of days ago that I've always wanted to do and never have, donated blood. Hubby and I donated as a last minute thing because we were walking into Walmart and there sat the donation van, it was fate! I still have a pretty decent sized bruise, she said something about small veins, but so worth the feeling of knowing we were helping people!
