Problem: Thirteen-year-old boy shooting pool. Cue smashes light fixture, glass cuts off part of his nose. Without surgery, he’ll lose the severed portion. No time for anesthesia.

Problem: Eleven-year-old boy. Born missing one ear and mostly deaf in the other. Needs treatment for disability and cosmetic issues. For years, nothing has been done. Doctors have no solutions; mother can’t afford expensive surgeries.

“Unlike the MTA’s, our prices have stayed the same throughout our run.”

In the spirit of the New Year: How to measure, save, spend, and fritter away your hours.

I Pod, you Pod, we all Podded.

How to throw one, behave at one, and survive the aftermath.
