once again you make me giggle with your weirdness. I've worked on a number of
food drives, collecting, dividing , distributing and I have never seen
anything get culled by anyone. What an absurd thought. Does it happen? I guess
anything is possible. Do i believe that someone would go to great lengths to
volunteer their time at a food bank just to get some free canned corn?
Probably not.

You're one weird and paranoid dude, but it's entertaining to see. You just
keep on keepin' on with your bad self!

My postal carrier got a couple bags worth of canned and boxed goods that I
bought specifically for the drive (mostly it was stuff I don't eat, canned
vegetables, graham crackers, saltines and the likes as well as other things,
canned beans and whatnot). My friend's mail carrier did not pick up her
donation, very weird.
