Goodwill Commentary

I’m pretty sure those who work at Goodwill don’t really need my commentary on items I donate.

My play by play

  • I’ll bet someone comes down here today looking for a horse costume
  • People will be lining up out the door, trying to buy this silver butter dish
  • I don’t know what the hell this is, but someone’s gonna love it
  • Tupperware, who doesn’t need giant Tupperware containers
  •  Isn’t this the nicest stroller you’ve ever seen?
  •  This is the best speaker in the world. I hope someone has an amplifier that could power this.

It’s a lot easier than when I did it with my dads apartment. I remember dropping off a sofa and they said they won’t take the sofa. I drove around back and returned to where we dropped off the sofa. Another worker said that’s a beautiful sofa they took it. That and a five iron.

Moving is a pain in the neck. That was already my fifth visit to Goodwill. I think some of the workers enjoy seeing me. I should go in the store someday and look around. It’d be my own personal museum.

    This gave me a good smile 😊—your running commentary makes the whole experience feel so lively and human. There’s something really special about the way you see value and possibility in each item, even the mysterious ones! And that sofa story—perfectly shows how perspective changes everything. Thanks for sharing this, it was both amusing and heartwarming.

    I wonder if some of your things will make their way to me, since I’m often browsing Goodwill! Though my favorite thrift shop is one called Bella’s Voice, which is hooked in to animal charities.

    Hang in there. I know it’s so exhausting and tedious, but your list of items made me giggle.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
