Hi, this is a message of encouragement for those suffering with narc parents. Mine were always trying to convince me that everyone hates me. At one point, over 10 years ago, my mother blamed all of my brother's problems on me and told me I was not welcome at their house anymore. That was fine by me. Now in recent years they've been begging me to come over to their house for holidays, and told me that they need to have a relationship with me now because they're losing all their friends because of their lack of a relationship with me. My response, so if everyone hates me, then why would it matter to them if we have a relationship or not? So, If you are in the weeds with your parents now and don't see a light at the end of tunnel, please just stay calm, take care of yourself, get away from them, and let karma take its course. But also get a mini voice recorder device for your keychain and record all of your conversations for evidence and to combat gaslighting. In some states it is illegal to record conversations without everyone's consent. Mom: "I never told you you couldn't come to my house." Me: plays a recording of her doing exactly that. Good luck to you

Goodwill's mission is not to sell cheap stuff, it is to employ people. Goodwill has many different operation outside of the thrift shops, including job training & placement, recycling, commercial cleaning service, landscaping, packaging, laundry & document shredding.
If you can't afford to shop in goodwill, the irony is that they can help you find a better job.
I want everyone to stop complaining about goodwill prices, because they can shut down their whole thrift store operation and still fulfill their mission.

I sold a thing on eBay. It's a vintage and one of a kind thing, but not delicate. Guy buys it from me, and asks for a partial refund because he didn't like the packaging I used to ship. He claimed it was damaged. I offered him a full refund if they send it back to me.
So now I've looked at his eBay store, and he had it listed at 4X the amount they paid me for, and as "new" "perfect condition."
