Salvation Army doesn't provide services to same-sex couples. Although it is possible they have changed. Do you have a YWCA that provides domestic violence support (they don't all do that, local orgs can choose their missions)? They often need things like that for their transitional housing.
I barely post over here, but I'm still proud of our Halloween costumes, and it's CEP-related, so you guys have to look at them. ETA: PDQ the pic.
The Arc does pick ups, ask them to not put you on a phone list. They will call you monthly for donations without asking.
Random, my brother called me at 5.30 this morning to make sure I was ok because there was a shooting in my city yesterday. It was sweet of him to check up on me.
My work-only FB account (which I use to update work pages) was locked the other day. In order to get in, they made me update my name. So instead of Firstname Company it now has my regular first and last, except they bastardized my last name (all lowercase, missing a letter) and now I can't change it for 60 days.
This is NOT the increased security measures most people think of when they want FB to be more secure, mmkay?

Is there something up w/proboards signature section? No matter what site I use I can not get the http to work in the signature box. Is anyone else having an issue?

I just updated mine. It seems to be working.
So it's me, it figures, LOL I'll try a reboot a little later and try again.

This is what I thought.
I will try the YWCA and The Arc. Also Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
But everything else has washed out so far. Purple Heart doesn't accept furniture or electronics. Our local Freecycle is dead as a doornail and my post has been sitting there for months with no takers.
So if SA is the only one who does pick up and accepts these items, well....
A wife of one of the guys at work is becoming a US citizen today. We just had a little patriotic moment as he came in to say that he's going to be out the rest of the day.
What do you wear to a Saturday wedding at 10:30 AM with a lunch reception?
I had a morning wedding with a lunch reception. Most of the men were in slacks, button up shirts. Women were is casual dresses, skirts/nice shirts. I would say business casual. We did not get married at a church.

That's what i was thinking. The black dress I usually wear to stuff won't be appropriate.
I'm more excited for the second part of the reception, which is later that night. They are having a bonfire/hayride thing at a local farm with hot apple cider and smores. The dress code on that invitations read "hooded sweatshirts."

We spent Sat picking interior item for the new house. Who in their right mind thinks that "Viper" is a good name for a toilet model? Ummm, I *have* found a snake in my toilet before, are they mocking my pain? And DH thinks a "Viper" toilet should state "Step away from the commode" in the old Viper alarm voice when you flush. We're going to try to convince the construction manager to let us swap out toilets before they install the "Viper" ones (not because of the name, because we want dual-flush ones the company doesn't offer).

OMG, apparently a radio station here in Boston just couldn't wait any longer and they have started playing Christmas music 24-7. They get closer and closer to Halloween every year, eventually they are just going to turn into a 24-365 day Christmas music station.

I got an email notification from Meetup that a local group was formed - I like discussing relationships and sex and stuff, and listed that as an interest which is why I got a notification, but I swear this group is basically "Dating: mansplained". It's some guy who wants to form a group to tell women where they're going wrong in dating. Also his intro has all kinds of errors and shit in it. It's both hilarious and infuriating. As if women are still single in this city because some man hasn't come along to tell them what to do yet.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
2cd, you might not find anyone to take the tv. Most places don't because they have to pay a recycle/trash fee for them.
Yeah, I'm discovering that.
SA (I called to check) wouldn't even take the furniture either.
I'm hella annoyed. It's a NICE unit. Thomasville. Not cheap. I really don't want to just put it on the curb (the tv I would obviously have properly recycled).

Thinking outside the box here, how about calling a local nursing home, or I know you said you called Purple Heart, but do you have any veteran nursing or veteran's homeless shelters?
I didn't update my address with the county and my license plates lapsed. They don't forward the registration notices. So I got a ticket on my car today because my plates had lapsed. A ton of work people noticed the ticket, and people know my car because it's distinctive.
Long story longer - my plates are now updated and I have a $35 ticket I've got to remember to go pay.

P'shaw. Your car is not distinctive AT ALL.
I saw a Ben Carson bumper sticker on the way home from work tonight.

That is a funny name, but if you didn't know, you can easily install your own dual-flush kit for $20-$25/toilet. If that is all the difference, it's a half hour project. But you might have a more efficient one at the next price level also.

I commented on a state political blog and a bunch of Berine-supporters (all men) are pissed hat I said Bernie's record does not support sexism, but his campaign manager was tone-deaf in his joking response. I'm being mansplained about how feminist Bernie is and how stupid it is to care that his campaign manager is tone-deaf.

I have a coworker who is some ways is so smart, but he is 24 and sometimes he is so dense and he is so unorganized. He will ask me questions that are to me so obvious to answer. And if I email him I can only list one task otherwise he will do the first thing on the list and completely ignore everything else. I like the kid but I sometimes want to punch him.

We've seen the conversion kits, but we also want the taller type (DH is 6'4" and the higher ones are easier on my bad knees) and the increase in price for upgrading to those was higher than just getting new dual-flush, taller toilets from Lowes. We're hoping the construction manager will let us swap out on site and we'd donate the unused ones to the local Habitat for Humanity. If not, the conversion kits will probably be the way we go for most (we'd probably still change out our master bathroom toilet once we move in).
I don't know if I'm being an asshole. I realize generally the answer to that question in yes. However, my story....
I have a psychology lab on Thursday nights. This past Thursday night, for reasons beyond my control, I was unable to get to class. The instructor's policy is that you have to be in class to get points for the in class assignment, so I missed out on those. Of course, that is perfectly reasonable and understandable. You also have to be in class to get the information for the homework. If you're not in class to get the information for the homework, well...oh well, I guess. I emailed the instructor, apologized I was unable to make it to the last class and asked about the information for the homework. She told me to get it from one of my classmates. Ok. So, right after I got her email (Thursday night about 2 hours after class), I emailed two different students (the only students I have emails for) and asked if they could share their notes/information about the homework. Radio silence. Since I do realize that not everyone works on my timeline, I tried having patience. I usually have to get this stuff done on the weekends because you know, job, other classes, mom, etc. So here it is Monday night and I still have nothing and it looks like this assignment is going to take longer than the average homework (it's worth more points). I just emailed her and told her this and that I felt I was being penalized for missing one class for something that was beyond my control.
This woman will not post any of the lecture slides to the class site. Because you have to actually be IN CLASS to get the information/assignment. She won't email them, either because "what if you share it with others who weren't in class?" (she said this to a classmate of mine on a different occasion). I have been in class every week. I don't just skip om a whim and if I do have to miss class, I generally know beforehand and let my professor know (like I did for my legal writing class on my anniversary). I feel like my email to her might have been bitchy, but this bitch right here is pissing me off. I may have started the semester with a case of the ass for her because the first night of class I got stuck in traffic and I was late. She closes and locks the door when she starts class. I was furious.

My husband has a new annoying habit. He always decided to go in the bathroom right before dinner is done. If there are 15 minutes left until dinner is ready, I tell him 10 so he gets himself in gear. But no. lately at the 12 minute mark he decides he must use the restroom NOW. OMFG DH. You can do your business anytime. I'm hungry. Get off your phone and wrap it up!
