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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, I believe it. We collect food and clothing at the end of the year from students moving out of the dorms. Apparently carrots are non-perishable. And the underwear, eww, the underwear.

I promise my tights are still in the packages!
Also, plus size and at least somewhat professional!

I think in some states they might not be able to take mattresses.

We've been having our roof and gutters repaired (damage from the big snowstorms) and last night's gullywashers caused leaks in our kitchen and bedroom. The roofers are being very responsive (so far) but I'm annoyed by the fact that I now have to find an electrician to tell me everything is safe, and someone to replace our bedroom ceiling. Oi.
