Thrift stores... for them or against them?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 28 Jun 08

I can't say enough good about thrift stores, especially since I shop for 5 kids. I go to my local thrift store every couple weeks and just browse. Typically I don't need anything, but that's the best time to go. I will buy winter...

shannykins I always take my stuff to consignment shops. A good way to recycle and make a little money... as long as I don't spend it there. There's way more produced than what is really needed. People are hoarder and consumer more crap than necessary.

mscott @mscott (1923) • United States 25 Jun 08

shannykins How is it tested on animals? Do they force them to eat it and see if they choke, go in convulsions and die? I never heard of such a thing. What happened to the Mars Bar anyway?

What is the worst nickname you have ever heard of or had?

mscott @mscott (1923) • United States 19 Jun 08

I have had a few nicknames, some good some not so good. I have also heard quite a few that I thought were anything but good and in some cases seemed pretty offensive. What is the worst nickname you have ever had or heard of?

shannykins I was once called Thunder Thighs. Probably still applies. I guess better than Trembly Thighs.
