Dittos...

Dittos?

if it wasn't for people like the OP that bring it up from time to time, people like yourself may forget that there are others in need... I don't see any boasting here, just a conversation about helping others...

While I don't wish to criticise, read it again. Too many I's and me's for a conversation about helping others which I feel would not have started with (and I paraphrase) this is what I and my family do, now what about you. I think I am quite capable of carrying out any charitable work I feel necessary without a reminder from Posh, and without having to tell anyone else about it. You see to me there are two kinds of people, the ones who do, and the ones who talk about it.

And Razorphish I said I was cynical about charity, by which I mean charitable organisations, not about giving.

Posh your sarcasm was somewhat spoiled by the fact I have no idea what a Red Lobster is. I'd make an educated guess at some sort of american seafood restaurant?

How does that detract for the initial idea of getting others on board with helping out? I fail to see your point and all I can see is you trying to take this thread off course.
