- Showered with chocolate bars: An 87-year old woman struggling to get by with a $683-a-month Social Security check found herself bestowed with gifts of chocolate from thoughtful readers who saw her featured in a NY Times story about the impact of rising fuel costs, in which she said her "greatest vice is Hershey bars." Looks like it even reached the ears of someone over at Hershey Co., who sent her their own gifts accompanied with a personal note. [Associated Press; via ColdMud]
