I've been cleaning. What am I supposed to do with bathing suits that I don't want anymore? Donating them seems kind of icky, but they're still in pretty good condition, so throwing them out seems wasteful.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The status is NOT quo.
Wash them and donate them, Hil.

Donated clothes have to be dried cleaned before they're resold anyway.

Really? OK. I'll add the bathing suits to my Goodwill pile. (Well, my Goodwill pile is now in the backseat of my car, because I'd meant to actually bring it to Goodwill yesterday, but I forgot. But from today's cleaning, I'm adding a raincoat, two pairs of boots, a sweater, a purse, and now about five bathing suits.)

"have to be" or "should be"? Because it would surprise if anything sold at our local Goodwill was cleaned in any way before being sold.

In California it's law. I don't know what the law is in other states.

A good law. I wish every state had it. (Well, I'd accept laundering in in hot water as an alternative.)

I've only haunted the Good Will shops in MA and PA, but I've never seen any pair of anything that struck me as dirty.
FWIW, if the clothing donation places get items that aren't usable or too worn, they send it on to cloth recycling and make money on it that way, so you can let them be the judge on stuff you're just not sure about.

Got a big dump of snow on Thursday and more overnight last night. It is still coming down, but not big flakes and not heavy. Hello, December. This will be our 4th Christmas in Colorado and we have yet to have an actual White Christmas. Maybe this year.
You know you live in the burbs when there is only a donation drop off place and you have to drive a town or two over to find a shop.

Trust my rage
We got no snow at all. I am currently waiting for Ellie's ballet recital. We had to be here at 12:45 and I'm saving seats. But I'm being forced to listen to this really annoying minute to win it thing.
The things we do for children.
