I need to find some better "outlets" for donations. The Goodwill store often gets the stuff and it isn't because I love the business model of Goodwill. I do like that people can purchase some pretty nice stuff there for a lot less than retail. If the local thrift store is taking donations, I go there. They use their sales income to help people in the community like someone with light disconnect or out of food. They get full though and stop taking donations every so often. Need to do a little research on this. Have some really dumb stuff, like a bunch of VERY nice Beanie Babies, with tags, which are worthless but night be good if someplace like a children's center or hospital wanted them to give to kids.

A brownie of any kind sounds rather good right now. Have to get to bed earlier than usual so will avoid more food. Up and down, comes with the territory. Sometimes I wish I was not so OCD that I just have to weigh in every day. On the other hand, if I start skipping some days, pretty soon it could lapse into skipping some weeks then months and we all know how that turns out.

@DotLewis I don't call "weighing oneself daily" as OCD...that's wise health management to me; nothing obsessive, or disorderly, about trying to be aware of one's diet and fitness. If OCD helps me live longer; then dammit, I'm OCD too and proud of it!

I am my worst enemy when it comes to purging. I always start thinking about "what if I need it again?" or where it came from or what it cost then talk myself out of getting rid of it. If I can find someone who "wants" it, I don't mind but I absolutely HATE the idea of throwing things in the trash that are perfectly good. My grandmother really instilled in me a hatred for waste.

@DotLewis I agree about throwing things away - anything worthwhile has to go to a good home. I have a large quantity of craft bookbinding equipment from the past which I am looking for a home for, but I will keep it rather than just throw it out
