Perkins, that is a totally cute dress! Is it worth having a tailor/seamstress alter it?
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
An assisted living facility for people with dementia or Alzheimer's is being planned for a Minneapolis suburb. Some neighbors are protesting because they think that the patients might either harm their children or expose them to "inappropriate" behavior. [link]

Oh no. It's a costco dress. Altering it would probably cost more than the dress. I figure I can get away with it for another 5 pounds or so, and then goodwill or play here have a thing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Okay, I'm a Gemini, so what should I be like? Or what two people should I be like?
You are: the person who happily pays to have it done. And the person who makes you realize that this is more than okay.
This has been me. I like that me.

If I have a bunch of tights that are still in the packages, giving them to Goodwill would be okay, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Still in packages, yes, I think so. I'm pretty sure that's something women's shelters ask for.
I would love (and yet hate) someone to pick up after me.
So exactly how I feel.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Speaking from my experience in women's shelters, donations usually desperately needed are diapers, formula, plus-sized professional women's clothes, African-American hair care and beauty products (seriously, some of the most affecting self-esteem issues I saw at shelters were brought about through women getting their hair cut and styled) and transportation (bus/taxi vouchers, gas cards.)
Also beds, for women going into an assisted living type of program. If you ever have a decent bed that needs donating, I highly suggest you call women's shelters or homeless shelters in the area -- often women and children get housing, but sleep on the floor.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Erin, what about mattresses?
