"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.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"have to be" or "should be"?
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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
We were semi productive this morning - mostly because we absolutely needed to get to our vet's before noon to pick up the Tazster's special food. But then we were able to stop by my office so I could copy our office neighbor's bathroom key because ours got walked off with again. And THEN we went to the Pitot House on Bayou St. John and attended their Le Marché des Fêtes holiday crafty bazaar thing. I had satsumacello (like limoncello but with satsumas), a Cafe Brulot, a very nice gumbo, and we bought soap from monks and some books for the niecephews and had a generally nice time. We may well wander up Magazine Street later, it's the Merriment on Magazine celebration thing today.
We did minimal cleaning when we came home (basically cleaning up after our drunken cooking session last night) but I am pretty wiped...

No snow, Stephanie? Wow. K-Bug's bf drove back to NM last night and got stuck a few times due to the snow. Once to rescue another car that was stuck and once because the road was closed down for the night. The forecast looks like it is going to keep falling on and off through Monday.

So I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I think no one had cleaned behind that radiator enclosure in 30, maybe 40 years. At first, I thought there was carpet back there. THAT bad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(Well, I'd accept laundering in in hot water as an alternative.)
That would ruin too many of the clothes to sell.
I went out! I went to Target, where I spent a really long time dithering over presents for kids I don't know, so how could I possibly decide which action figures to get?? I asked a kid at random, and he asked what shows the kid watches. I don't know! Then I went to a craft fair at a local church and got some other presents! And only one or two things for myself.....
In community activism news, they are really picketing the crap out of the Marriott around the corner, and also there was a big rally for Syria in the park.
