I think if the letter gives your salary and it fits the rule of thumb (something like your rent must not be more than 1/3 of your monthly income - not sure of the exact fraction), plus the reference, you should be good to go.

It's a charity organization with stores (they do more than just sell), often they hire recently-released inmates and also place them in jobs. The Salvation Army is the other big one over here, but they are more religious.

Goodwill's logo creeps me out, though. For a long time I thought it was a person, not a g.

Here is the Us we have a lot of non profit charities like Goodwill and Salvation Army that are well known for accepting household goods and clothing donations. These items are often resold to help those in need or programs for those in need. In exchange, people who donate can claim it as a tax deduction. win-win for all and keeps junk out of landfills.
(and more importantly, out of my house!)

The goodwill sign looks like Homepride Fred
I would post a pic but I don't know how on the ipad...

You all have wasps and hot. I have rain, rain, and little birds nesting right outside my bedroom window.
T today, I have too much to say. I want all those sessions back where I just waffled, I could easily fill four hours!

Embarrassing admission: I think while packing I made five donation trips to Goodwill
I worry I did not get rid of enough junk.
A lot of it was old clothes or clothes that were too big or small and large amount of stuff given to me or that I got for free

Gol not me - it's the only time I got any attention and treated politely and knew what to expect. It was like therapy. Since there was no way I was getting actual therapy. Making up for it now though.

Is it suppressing your female hormones and therefore letting the male hormones be pardon the expression dominant? That's my theory of what PMS is - we just feel as men do all the time. My sweat would smell like my dad

Granitez I just wanted to tell you that my H wets the bed somewhat regularly and we are yet to discover a cause. I don't actually think there is one for him, just a really deep sleeper. He doesn't realise until I wake up and wake him up. I think it is more common than we think because people don't talk about it. Try not to be embarrassed, do talk to your doc about it and see if you can find a cause, it may be helpful to you.
Thanks for this!

granite, wetting the bed can be caused by diabetes - I don't know what the cause and effect is, but I do know that it is one of the (many) causes that adults can wet their bed. I have a friend who is a doctor specialised in urology, and I've heard from him that adult betwetting is not as uncommon as one might think. It's just not something that grownups talk about, and so it seems like it's much more unusual than it is...
Thanks for this!

I've found (paradoxically) in such situations that it was easier to rent from apartment management companies rather than individuals because companies tend to have a wider range of acceptance whereas individuals can get all kinds of persnickety.

Of course, this was just my experience a while ago in a large East coast metro area.
Thanks for this!

The generic, escitalopram, worked well for me and several people I know but costly. I had to stop because I lost weight (am already underweight) due to it killing my appetite but a lot of people report weight gain.

Morning couch. Still sick. Still dark and disturbing thoughts. T does care. See her today. I'm so tired. Emotionless and flat and non-caring today. I just want to sleep forever. Just checking in.

also she tested the sugar level in my urine and it was really high so she does think that this is the reason for wetting the bed . she says that as my sugar levels drop it will fix itself .

I tried it once. Put me to sleep for 18 hours/day. On an incredibly low dose, not even therapeutic level, so it was stopped and something else was tried.

I was prescribed that when I was younger. It wasn't good for me.
