VHS or Beta

I hate Craigslist.  Ok, I hate the Cleveland Craigslist.  Community areas, such as general and groups, are chock full of those stupid "earn $1200 a week only working part time!" ads.  There's nothing "local" about any of this crap, and if something sounds too good to be true, it always is.

I think Craigslist will soon join this ever-growing list of places that used to be cool.   I'm a misantrope, I admit it, and when I try to go against my nature and look for my fellow C-towner, I end up becoming even more of what I am.  People suck and people don't care.  Ok, maybe Craigslist was never cool; I'm just misremembering that way.

My brother and I took a couple of totes full of VHS tapes.  Goodwill took them, so I guess that's a good thing, right?  I asked the guy working there what they'd do with Christmas stuff.   He said that they put it in storage until it was Christmas-time.  Good answer.  I have about 8 totes full of Christmas stuff that I don't know what to do with.  My brother and I browsed a little at the Goodwill Store and most of what I saw was crap...er...I mean Goodwill stuff.  Almost all of the crap...er. stuff that I've been boxing up is much nicer.  Most looks new and a lot of it really is new.  I wish I knew what to do with this stuff.  Simply tossing away the things inside this house doesn't work.  I didn't have any problem donating all of Melissa's warm clothes to the homeless.  It was nigh zero degrees and the clothes went directly to people; that is, they weren't resold.   I guess that it's important to me, to Melissa, that things go to people who can use (and appreciate) them.  She hated Goodwill  except I don't know where else I can take all this crap...er, stuff.
