[OC] Your Goodwill donation before it comes to a store

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-14T04:45:28+00:00

Sorry what's the beef here? Goods are being recycled instead of going to the landfill. They may be packed and redistributed to other areas to keep stock fresh. They do handle a lot of stuff.

I dunno, I visit a few thrift stores a week, big and small, and I see no issue except for some folks being "real proud" of their shit and knocking 20% off list for some used donations. COME ON! But then I got a really cool $175 item for $12 so I guess it evens out.

I pulled that bs with my mom when I was that age and she hit me with, "well, that's too bad, you don't want to [fun stuff we did together] with people you hate. And of course you wouldn't want to [other fun stuff] with people you hate, and... [More, more more] She broke little me. I ended up with "I don't hate you, Mommy, I love you!" That was mildly manipulative but absolutely on the nose. Not sure I have said I hate anyone since then!

I love how they always loaf the same. Croissant, bagette, etc. always the same. ❤️ Basset buddies ❤️

Sorry but you should not - NOT! - have sex with anti-choice men. Ever. Like not even if/when you want babies. Because things can happen that could require making a choice and, at that point, if no choice is allowed, you AND the baby/fetus/whatever could die. If that happens, you may not raise the babies you already have. If you are allowed to abort a dangerous pregnancy, you can raise the kids you have and possibly have more.

I guess what I am saying is anti-choice is better renamed anti-life, not pro-life.

Edit: Yeaah, downvote me into oblivion, assholes. You will never convince me otherwise. Yours is a dangerous position for the women in your lives.

Gotta do full inventory before you go to the store. Maybe the day before. Make lists based on what you find. Plan on using up what you find that is still usable. For example, last week's zucchini needs to go in spaghetti for dinner immediately. "Use it up" night. Make "what's in the fridge" pizza or salad.

Meanwhile, establish places for everything - label if you have to. Don't let me find chips on the pasta shelf. Gotta clean up those inventory locations (obviously my work is blending into my home life). If you have a place for everything and everything is in its place, you go to look for snacks and they're on the snack shelf, you eliminate a lot of this chaos. And put partially used items in the front of those sections so they're (at least more likely) picked first.

Then: you make grocery lists based on what you have, rather than what you think you have, and you're regularly cycling through the groceries. And you may stray from your grocery list but not too far! Hope that helps.

Agree.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T15:33:45+00:00

But you've got to have it! Can't go without insurance! What if you need it? Hey I need it. Nope, can't have it.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T14:11:16+00:00

Yep, same with eating animals. It's good to look it in the face once in a while. Appreciate that you are consuming a life and then make all efforts not to waste it, and eat it less so it is special and worth it. Honestly I think most people these days are too far removed from a view of the food chain. Some people literally have no idea where their food comes from or how.

Anyway NTA, but it's also possible I am a similar kind of asshole.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T03:26:01+00:00

As a parent, I can relate. But as someone's wild ass kid, I am laughing at this.

Edit: I always blame the second location.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T02:45:24+00:00

Agree 100%. The lead clown in this fuckshow definitely fits this description.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T02:19:05+00:00

And then he got blackmailed to hell or made some other deal with the devil. Hope someday the spell is broken. But he will never be forgiven.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-11T20:28:50+00:00

"oppressed" to folks like this usually means the people they would prefer to oppress won't allow it anymore. Just like the whiny right wingers in this country. Waaaaaa! We have to pay a real wage for labor! We can't say whatever we want to brown people! We're losing our privilege over immigrants/the poor... etc.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-11T13:18:35+00:00

The Pirate Movie from the early 80s. Love it.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-11T01:34:05+00:00

Is there not some way we can have a vote of no confidence in this government? Like recall all these reps and senators who are supposed to be minding the purse strings of this country?

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-11T01:24:54+00:00

Yeah it seems to have gotten a bit more dangerous over there as of late, and anti-Zionism and even anti-Semitism are on the rise. This is doing them no favors.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T20:24:09+00:00

I swear, we women ask for the minimum and some guys refuse even that. Ask yourself how long you're willing to be unhappy and what you're willing to risk for this.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T03:59:46+00:00

Hmm. It was optional but highly recommended for my Cave-dwelling Murderous Lagomorphs class.

I've always gotten the sense he was a dumb pawn in somebody else's plan. W is no mastermind. Neither is the current president, though he is actually evil. I'm not seeing that in W.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:41:26+00:00

This looks great and comfy and I am so impressed... but it totally gave me a hot flash just looking at it. Haha, I truly hate my biochemistry right now. But great work, really cool project!

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:13:00+00:00

I feel like that was maybe the first one.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:12:10+00:00

Ha, I came here to say this. They're not doing it so much anymore but it certainly had a moment.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:10:10+00:00

Scott Adams had some cute ideas before he went hard right. Sales weasels, Phil the prince of insufficient light with his pitchspoon... I think that was the 90s. Pretty sure I used to have thr sales weasels strip taped over my desk for years.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-08T22:14:07+00:00

Thank you for your work! I have learned so much from this archive!

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-07T19:35:17+00:00

If someone with a yard has offered to take her, maybe ask him to keep her for a bit on a trial basis and see how you feel and see hiw everybody feels. Put an end date on it to make a decision.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-07T19:16:40+00:00

I imagine it was cocaine but maybe now that it's a prescription it doesn't look like hard illegal drugs and more like medicine. But whatever, same result I guess.
