We have a local group that takes books, DVDs and CDs as contributions, sells them cheaply and uses the money to fund literacy programs. I donate to them regularly ... and if you have enough books, they'll come and pick them up.

Someone just asked me if I'm available "next Saturday." I said, "do you mean this Saturday or the 23rd?" She said, next Saturday. So that means the 16th, right??
Timelies all!
Alas, I have no pie.

I hate questions like that. I always just verify the date.
Yeah, all the good ones in Seattle have closed. There's supposed to be one near Olympia that specializes in SF/Fantasy/Horror/Vintage Romance, which means I need to do some research and convince Pete he wants to do a road trip.
I know there was at least one that I hit in West Seattle when I was up there. I can ask my nieces what's still up there. I think it was...California St...that was the big main drag with thrift stores and used book stores and whatnot.

I would read that as the 23rd, but you're definitely right that it's unclear.

I tried! But feel dumb asking again. Now I'm just going to see if she shows up on Saturday or not.

I have no idea! Follow up with "day after tomorrow?"
The next vs this debate raged on unresolved for thirty years between Hubby and I.
I go with "next Saturday" means the soonest coming Saturday. The Saturday after that is "a week Saturday" or "Saturday week."
I go with avoiding saying "next Saturday" like the plague, since I can never be sure what the other person will understand by it.
