We have lots of places where you can donate clothes and such, but they all frown on just dropping off a bag of stuff on your way to work, outside of their drop off hours (by the end of the day, I just want to go home, not go out of my way in the head of the afternoon). I occasionally put together a bag of stuff under Hubby's radar, and it would be very convenient to pull in to the thrift store's drop zone in the morning.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
There's a vietnam vets drop-off right by my work. The attendant always tries to give me a receipt but I don't itemize deductions so I don't need it. Last time he saw me coming and had the receipt all written out and handed it to me before I could protest.

ooh spooky... I haven't used the phone in an hour. I just heard a noise behind me and turned to see the cord wrap itself into a twist. This is the same office where the lights sometimes turn on by themselves. I'm so glad it's daytime right now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
They don't have drop boxes there, Connie? That's where i do my clothing drop-offs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
More Hello Kitty stuff: Katherine's "Hello Kitty"© Sisters of Battle
Inspired by the ever cute Sanrio character "Hello Kitty" ©, Katherine wanted to bring a little color (and a bit of snappy fashion!) into the male dominated (and admitedly gothic themed) gaming world of Warhammer 40K! Katherine's devotion to painting her gaming miniatures in constant tribute to Hello Kitty has stirred much interest in the gaming community - and there are growing hopes among many gamers that where one girl blazes a pink trail into the gaming world - others may follow! :-)
I'll begin with the photo that got so many people excited on the GW 40K forum - a photo of Katherine's HK Dreadnought!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Right now, I've got a grocery bag full of clothes, and I'm searching all over the place and can't find anywhere that accepts them. Everywhere requires a car. Every place that I can get to will only take men's clothes, or only take new clothes, or some other restriction that means I can't donate there. I've got a stack of perfectly good clothes, some of them never worn.

If you put a sign on them that says "free" and put them out on the sidewalk someone will take them.

Have you tried women's shelters, Hil?

Leave a bag on the sidewalk? In my neighborhood? Someone would probably think I was planting a bomb. There's a little park nearby where I see homeless people all the time, but none of this stuff would fit any of them.

List it on craigslist, Hil? Or freecycle?
