#9 Things you may not know about me

I buy about 99% of my clothes at thrift stores! This is just what I wear like shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, ect. But I buy my other clothes like underwear new at an actual store. I just have more fun going through a thrift store looking through the racks than I do a department store. Plus the prices are ridiculous and some of the clothes are just not to my taste. The clothes at a thrift store all have a story behind them I think and as I go through the racks seeing what I can find it just gives me a sense of excitement and wonder.
When it comes to my clothes I also like to try to repair and fix what I have that has gotten a hole or a rip in it. Or just sew another button on it! If I can fix it and wear it a few more times or fix it again and still wear it rather than throw it away and have to buy new... I just don't see the point in doing the later. I have several jeans at work that already are sort of beat up (due to being a housekeeper and cleaning with bleach) so I've just been fixing those up and it's been working out just fine. I do want to learn how to fix socks if I am able to. That may be a useful skill I think.
How many of you guys go shopping at thrift stores?

#9 Gratefulness

I'm grateful to the online communities I'm a part of. Lets face it - sometimes people in our real lives just don't understand us or are people we can talk to. That's not always the case, but I feel like anymore I have few good, solid friendships. Sometimes this doesn't bother me and other times it makes me feel pretty lonely.
I'm grateful to you guys here on Dreamwidth! This has been a great place to share my thoughts and feelings. On Comic Fury I am also grateful to many nice people I have met and sharing my comic has been a joy. I still need to explore Globalcomix more. I am a part of some good groups on Facebook and I've been reaching out to them. I know quite a few people hate facebook these days and I totally get that. I'm not a fan of it either. But it has become a safe space for me with my hobbies and disability. I'm a part of groups for my postal stamp collecting, girls who go hiking in Ohio, plant lovers - indoors & outdoors - bird watching (I want to do more of this!), arts and crafts, book lovers, video games and other related forms of entertainment. And over the weekend I joined a group for women who live alone. So that's been helpful since as of lately I have been feeling pretty alone and not happy with my home life. Sapphire is wonderful but most days I wish I had a human being to talk to. I do have friends I see from time to time. And same goes with my family. But for now I am happy for my online friends. Thank you.
