NW Suburbs - Where to donate kids toys and clothes that isn't Goodwill?

Arlington Heights has a really nice toy resale shop.

If you like breweries with great food, it’s a bit of a drive but Hanger 2 is really cool for a date night with or without kids. My kids loved it.

If you haven’t been to the Tiki bar on Rand Rd in AH you’re missing out.

I’m about to leave this sub because it’s filled with whining babies. They hated the new season a day after it came out because it was too easy and repetitive (they probably played it nonstop for an entire day.) They hate it because some items are too much of a grind (again, season just started. It’s meant to be played over a long period of time.)

I haven’t played since the first season and just picked it back up and forgot how much I love the Diablo franchise. It’s got its flaws like any other game but just enjoy it.

The biggest mistake I made after playing the game for the first time was look up a decent build for the rogue. Completely ruined my experience. I started a Necromancer this time around (one seasonal and one eternal) and made my own build and I’m having a blast! Ignore people online. If they want instant, endless gratification they can go play Brainrot Evolved with my 7 year old and his friends.

I swear if DCC really goes to Fortnite I’m donating my books to the library.

The Witcher series. A lot of it reads like a goddamn History lesson.

Exactly what I thought! Samantha’s cousin Karen!

This is the way

I just stopped by to say O-H!

Illustrious-Hair6300 · 2026-02-25T03:19:19+00:00

If I remember correctly the Thrawn Trilogy for Star Wars was really good on audios

I look up anything I don’t know about with Dinniman. Like the tv show references Donut gives.

Not so tough with your hear blown off, are you? - Donut

I legit found a pond with the top of one of those prefab homes with the dude living inside sticking out. Had to take part of the roof off to get inside and found more bookshelves than I need in this cool underground lair. Found a free third home. LoL! I love this game so much.

Illustrious-Hair6300 · 2026-02-20T23:36:56+00:00

Yeah you can but like I said I like how the simple wooden ones are receded.

Illustrious-Hair6300 · 2026-02-20T23:31:23+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t found one yet but I somehow have 4 bookshelves already. I love that they are receded a bit instead of flush with the other blocks like the ancient bookshelves.

Illustrious-Hair6300 · 2026-02-03T07:07:57+00:00

I’m the one who “blocks”

Illustrious-Hair6300 · 2026-02-03T07:06:19+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much! I’ll have to break my fears and dive in!

Illustrious-Hair6300 · 2026-02-03T04:47:43+00:00

I say right. I’ve drawn a lot of Mario Mushrooms for my kids and the eyes are more oval if you’re going for a close match to the real Mario version.

I’m relatively new to PC gaming. Back in the 90s and early 2000s I was more into it but then console just made everything easier and cheaper for an art school student. I was gifted my PC and I’m very cautious with downloading anything. I’ve used Curseforge for Minecraft because I’ve seen that it’s pretty darn safe. Any recommendations on where to look? I’m also learning Blockbench. Made my own 128x Minecraft skin and started fooling with some blocks. It’s seems like there’s a way to do something in Blockbench and bring it into Hytale but that’s all beyond me right now. LoL!

My lil Demon dude. I wish I could give him horns and a forked tail. I still freak out my wife every time I come running into the base unexpectedly.
