Donating old clothes?
Anyone know any good charities that take clothing donations? I've got 4 full trash bags of clothes that I'm looking to get rid of, nearly all of it is plus size womens clothes from size 14/16 and up. I figure I'd take some of the less nice stuff to Goodwill, but I've got lots of items that are hardly worn and very nice. I took them to Savvy Plus to try and consign them, but the lady didn't want them because she's anal and picky as fuck or some of it was "the wrong season". I figure, they could do some good going to a battered woman's shelter or something. Google gives me a whole lot of goobledeegook.

Podcast!!
if you don't already listen, go to www.keithandthegirl.com and push play on the iPod icon.

I'll suggest headphones or understanding co-workers

Episode 419 "Tit or Tears" had me on the floor but Jonny Boy thinks 418 "Dating Practices" was better. 

Your welcome in advance.

Hot sauce?
Where in Portland can I find a huge selection of hot sauce? I'm looking for places other than World Market/Whole Foods. While these places have a decent amount (about 10 different ones) that is nothing for a chili head like myself. I'm thinking at least an aisle full. Shipping on hot sauce is ridiculously expensive or I would just buy online.

Any direction? or is this find hopeless?

Computer Questions

So, I am trying to get a html based website to pull up under the search engine google and yahoo. Meta names are updated, etc. I am wondering if google gives priority to specific languages (i.e., Java, SQL, etc) or if there is a nice way to get those stubborn spiders to see the page (google doesn't let you submit???). Computer peeps help!!! Many thanks.

Quizzy is fun!
Every Thursday Quizzy, a FREE team trivia contest, is held at Billy Ray's Neighborhood Dive. It starts around 7. It's hosted by Roy, who is lovable for his detailed knowledge of Philly, his eclectic taste in music (played between grading breaks), and his acerbic wit. Teams are limited to six members, tipping the bartender and Quizzy is appreciated. 4 rounds, 10 questions each, with a theme round and weekly doubles.

I am posting this because I have been going for a while and attendance is down - brings more peeps!

Quizzy @ Billy Ray's
Thursdays at around 7

Conet's up there right now
Maybe for another twenty minutes. Right now it is one finger-width at arm's length off the horizon over by the sunset. Looks no brighter than a star with a little tail pointed up.
