Snobby Consignment Shops!!

Today I am venting! I have been insulted by snobby resale shops! I didn't think it was possible. Their business is selling used clothes, for goodness sake! As I have been losing wt., some clothes are just too big to wear now. So I bag up a few things, all unholy, unstained and looking pretty good. The first place I went to went through the bag and the ladies faces kept on getting sourer with each item they looked at. Finally they bag it all back up and one lady said they couldn't take any of it. She also said that they don't take clothing with an elastic waist band (it was plus size denim shorts in great condition!!). So I leave the store slightly stunned. Then I go to another smaller and hopefully more friendlier shop. NOT! They only take things in by appointment only, and they only took in brand name labels... not wonder they were a small store!! She wasn't even interested in some of my Old Navy shirts (which I don't think are generic!) After that I went home and sulked... If anyone here locally know of a nice and friendly resale shop that isn't so picky, let me know!! Ggrrrrr.... stupid people.... I am wondering why this is bothering me so much???

Ice Storm Pics

To give everyone an idea what the weather was like here last week, why we had no power for 5 days (and some going on 7) and why I have to take my outside dog to work every day, here are some pics. Enjoy!
Above: No Tree was safe...
Below: Power poles were also falling like flies...

If you look closely, there is a road that goes straight...

This is in my back yard... I need a new fence now...

The other part of my backyard. It only got worse...

This is a view going one way down my street...

The front yard, though quite a bit more limbs did fall off.

My neighbor, Nora's yard. What a mess...















My poor car. This stupid limbnot only froze to my car,
but it decapitated my side-view mirror!

This branch fell on me while I was

taking pictures...

This is a "before" pic of the tree across the street.

This is the "after" pic... notice the cable lines...
The big beautiful tree in my back neighbor's backyard.

This is another "before" pic...

The "after" pic. Not such a beautiful tree

anymore, especially since it took out my

fence...
