Lovebug wrote: I always hate it when I get into my sour apple moods. I believe another mans trash is another mans treasurer, but there a is limit to everything. I volunteer in a place that depends on donations to generate enough income to feed people in this little community, and I have found it necessary to stand in the doorway and remind good folks, this is not the city dumb, it seems to unbalance me. I change from being a sweet and kind smiley face, into a mother bear protecting her cubs. I can't decide if that is good or bad, but that is the way it is.
shelbyjm wrote: well Lovebug I did give anyone trash.. and this person picked the things she wanted I so think you are missing the boat here. I gave it to someone that needed it not just some random trash to some random person. She has some pretty darn good stylish close and some even have the tags on it.
thanks for your positive attitude...

My children and i have been participating in operation christmas child and we always donate to the american kidney foundation three times a year. I have taught my children that there are people out there who need or may need the clothes and toys and other things that we don't want instead of throwing them away.
If all of america would do this then i don't believe so many people would be hungry and without anything.
Before i leave, does anyone know the original author of "one man's trash is another man's treasure"? I am trying to find it for a reasearch paper.
Thanks so much and have a wonderful week

I like that you know where it all went & i like that she took it all & wasn't picky about what to take or leave, but that it was all special enough to her to want everything. Good for you & good for her too! Happy holidays & many blessings your way.
