thanks for sticking up for me!

Give her a break, regarding the poster who suggested the returned items go towards Katrina victims, I really think there was good intent here.  Frankly if I lost everthing, a diamond braclet I could sell or pawn would be a godsend.  Just because you may scoff, someone with nothing, might be VERY appreciative. I sent makeup and perfume, along with many baby things, clothing, food, water, and other household goods. Women still like to look and smell presentable, which is why so many places asked for soap and personal items. I believe I also sent some VERY personal items that many women need monthly. There are many ways I could see this "uneeded merchandise" that Bridgette purchased going to a good cause, even if she were to hold a sale in her local town or sell it on ebay and give the proceedes to charity. Whats up with the "neg" attitudes towards someone making a sensible suggestion with charity in mind.
I was the one who made the Katrina victim suggestion. Not with the doggie dress as the most important item to donate of course!  But yes, I do feel that these women could and would appreciate many of the unneeded items this spendthrift purchased.  Yes, my intentions were certainly good.  Thanks for sticking up for me and have a great day!  J.B.
