two good things about the 'burbs: I know of 2 consignment stores nearby and charities will come by and pick up stuff, no matter how much you have, you do not even have to make appointments with you, they leave flyers on your door saying when they will be buy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've tried doing the hanger thing, but then I got pregnant and couldn't wear *any* of my regular clothes for almost 2 years. So now I have to basically start over.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Scrappy, that's a lot to deal with. I'm so sorry.
I've advised her to put (is not dead) in the title also, because I had a freakout.
My mom really did send me an e-mail last year with the subject line "Uncle [Name] died." I am not making that up. Great to get when you're at work.

Consuela, I'm sorry your parents are not cooperating in making their care easier on you and your sister.
Scrappy, so sorry. That's so hard. And that's crappy IRS news. Yikes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, Scrappy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, scrappy. Definitely a bad day.

Scrappy, I am so sorry.
The other thing to do is flip your hangers the backwards way. Only flip them back when you wear the thing they are holding. After 3 months look at what is still on backwards hooks. take at least half of it to get rid of. 3 more months, take half again. You will see what you wear and what you do not.
On the one hand, I think this is really clever. On the other hand, I don't think that would work for my wardrobe, because I have so many things that combine with other things.
However, I am thinking that I may take a break from clothing shopping for a few months. After the one eBay UK auction I'm watching ends. Spend those months doing a lot of wardrobe remixes, and save my money for tattoos. We'll see if I can stick to it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Scrappy, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Scrappy.
