All my tax preparer does is request a bottle of Scotch as tip.  I'll have to
ask him whether he would also be my therapist.  S=o)

The best thing is to do what feels right in your heart.  Who knows what the
consequences will be?  I wonder how the world would be if everyone sets out
one day a week dedicated to helping others.  I think it would impact not
only the ones being helped, but also the doer.  This goes beyond just
donating money, but getting involved physically.  I have a question, though.
Sometimes people perform altruistic acts with no altruistic motives.  For
example, people often donate to get tax write offs.  Is there a tax write
off for "doing"?
