 Posted: 01/25/04 - 17:41 Post subject: The Trouble With Goodwill
...is that what folks donate seldom has the manual with it.
For $2.95 I took a chance on an answering machine. By pressing a combination of buttons I was able to get the greeting that the lovely sounding John and Mary Gregory left off the machine. What is there now is adequate. "Please leave a message after the tone" in a generic masculine voice. You know the one. You've heard him on countless automated telephone systems.
When I went to the ATT website, I looked for a manual. None matched and when I chose the one that closest resembled my model number...my computer froze every time.
So, fellow RR's I implore you. Please check your Answering Machine. If it's an ATT AS48, please tell me how to change my message. If not, would some kind soul go to the website for me and look at the AS45 manual and see what it says there on the long shot that the two models are similar in set up?
Thanks.
On a happier note, I scored a pair of combat boots, a pair of really cool western style half-boots, a pair of the coolest red and black plaid pants you ever seen, a belt to wear them with, and a skirt. Plus the ansering machine, for $25 total. Oh yes. I scored.

Yes.You. Did.
Just find the right items to go with those pants and you, too, could look like a college basketball coach, a professional golfer, or a pro bowler.

I am a huge fan of the thrift store. Hubby will come home to find me decked out in a new outfit and start on his 'stop spending money' lecture. Until I tell him the whole thing cost $3.

I LOVE thrifting!!! We give them a lot of stuff too.
Two of the best dressed men I know buy nearly all their suits/shirts/ties at the good old Salvation Army and they always look great!

I, too, love second-hand stores. They have some of the best cookbooks to add to my collections.
They are also a great place to find good quality blankets for our dogs--and cheap!
They are also a good place for knockaround furniture and the like.

I like to get stuff for my basement from Thrift stores. And all of my underwear.
I smell like Grandma's.
