I thought this was a funny view of my spam folder. It’s all from the American Diabetes Association asking for donations.
Give me a break, ADA. I “_give_” a little bit every hour of every day!

You can expect my donation within the next 5 years…

I right, so you are not intending to generously donate within the next 5 years. I checked with Google and it got it right:
> [Eric](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/-/15697/1) humorously complains about receiving frequent donation requests from the American Diabetes Association, joking that he’s already “giving” a little bit every hour of every day due to living with diabetes. He sarcastically promises to donate within the next five years, accompanied by a laughing emoji and an image of his spam folder filled with ADA appeals.
I remember many years ago, when I was but a grasshopper diabetic, that the BDA (“British” as opposed to “American”) was reviewed by the Consumers’ Association (tr: Association-\>Union) as part of its value-for-money review of charities. The BDA spent what the CA regarded as a somewhat large amount on “overhead” (or it might have said “administration”, or anything like that.) So I stopped donating my pocket money. (Let’s see if Google gets that last sentence right 😉
