PLUS SIZED CLOTHING NEEDED FOR HURRICANE REFUGEES!

Gakked from emrinalexander.

Original post here.

if you're a plus sized girl, and you have some bags of clothes that you were going to take down to a donation bin, you can box them up and send them out for the victims of Katrina to this address:

Helping Hands for Texas
c/o Alamo Premier Mortgage Group
10223 281 Freeway, Suite 200
San Antonio 78216

We're hearing that some of the larger women are forced to wear blankets and garbage bags because there are not enough clothes yet for their size range.

Most of you have probably already seen the above post elsewhere, but it's worth repeating.

Over the weekend, I collected all those little bottles of shampoo and conditioner and stuff that I always snag from hotels and then never actually use once I get home. I am boxing them up and sending them, along with towels, clothes, bras and panties, and can openers to friends of my Aunt Jinny's partner, Claire. These women are in Mississippi and lost everything as well, and have actually said that they don't want money, as there is nowhere to spend it. However, they need the basics... toilet paper and other paper goods, personal care items, and of course clothing.

It's not much, in the larger scheme of things, but it makes me feel good to be able to do SOMETHING, no matter how small a gesture it may turn out to be.

I wish I could do more.

MY FALL 2005 TV SCHEDULE

Gakked from lastscorpion.

Mondays
8pm Prison Break. God, *yeah*. Just . . . yeah.

Tuesdays
8pm NCIS. Can't wait to see what happens now that they're minus the estrogen quotient.
8pm Supernatural. This looks seriously fucking awesome. But why, oh why, must it be on opposite a show I already love?
8pm Bones. I will probably let this one fall by the wayside, as it looks stupid and David Boreanaz can't act his way out of a paper bag. That's why he was so good as Angel.
10pm Law & Order: SVU. Surprisingly, I got really hooked on this show last spring, and have been rabidly watching reruns all summer.
10pm Close To Home. I bet it's going to suck in a major way, but the previews showed Christian Kane with his shirt off, so that's good enough for me.

Wednesdays
9pm Criminal Minds. Couldn't they move some of the interesting Tuesday-night shows to Wednesday? There's lots more room over here.
10pm Over There. Nothing, and I mean, nothing is going to make me stop watching this show. Unless Lana joins the squad and ruins yet another pretty gay show.

Thursdays
8pm Survivor: Guatemala. It's like a train wreck, and you can't look away. 'Nuff said. Even my mom loves this.
9pm CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Speaking of my mom, Grissom is totally her TV boyfriend. I'll take Nick and Greg, any day.
10pm Without A Trace. And let's follow all that masculinity with the boys of Without A Trace, shall we?

Fridays
9pm Killer Instinct. Eh. I'm not thrilled about this one, but I'm a bit curious.
10pm Numb3rs. I'm assuming it's remaining in its original timeslot? If it moves, I suppose I will follow as necessary. Brothercestslashfickillmenowkay.

Saturdays

Saturdays are for catching up on everything that I missed during the week. And for "guilty pleasures" on VH1.

Sundays
8pm Cold Case. If there's nothing else on, that is.

Of course, NFL Football trumps anything else on TV, especially if my beloved Atlanta Falcons are playing!
