It's kind of ironic (and sad) that poverty seems to be the most efficient way to live environmentally friendly. |

I think that's covered by "consignment shop", it's an American euphamism. |

^^ oddly enough, I've never heard of that. I would've thought of something else if I had heard "consignment shop" without context. |

I don't think consignment shop is the same thing really as a thrift store or buying from garage sales, etc. |

Speaking of bicycles and the benefits of environmentally conscious habits, which may be confused, accurately or inaccurately, as being the habits of a lower class individual, I ran a 5K this morning. Strong legs are really all you need to run. I came in second. I didn't have the lung capacity for the final kick at the end. He passed me in the last stretch.
You might not know it to look at me, but I can run really fast. |

Pretty woman is a movie and art is a lie. Clearly the boutique is in the wrong, that's why it's depicted in the film.
I mean...
I ride my bike to classes.
(What am I going to do during May?) |

I used to work at a consignment shop, which is the only reason I know the difference.
A consignment shop is a shop where people take things they want to be sold and the shop owners sells them for them for a ~50% commission. Think an eBay store, minus the internet.
Thrift stores sell second-hand clothes that were either donated or sold to the store for a very small percentage of the original cost. |
