Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Wow. A family in Quebec was killed when a sinkhole swallowed their house. [link]
If I have a bunch of tights that are still in the packages, giving them to Goodwill would be okay, right?
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.
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.
Erin, what about mattresses?
Anybody hear from the Tom & Nora Southward migration yet?
Yeah, on Facebook. Sounds like Day One was good, Day Two less good, and they'll be in NO today!
Zen, yes, I meant the whole bed, as long as the mattress is in decent shape.
You would not BELIEVE what people "donate" to shelters, trying to get rid of stuff. Dirty clothes, ketchup packets, half-used bottles of shampoo, half burnt candles, freezer burnt frozen meats.
