Okay so I've got a link way down towards the bottom of my page for baby cheapskates and they have informed me of a new law about to become real that says no more second hand cloths w/o proof of inspection of toxins. I know I can't afford to buy $5.00 milk w/o knowing that I don't have to pay $20 for a shirt for my 3 mo old.
If it happens there will be no yard sales, thrift shops, church rummage sales, craigs list, freecycle, donations to the DI w/o documented proof. ARUGH!! I'm frustrated. Please visit and then be like those excellent women of the past that got things done by writing their congresswoman. Tell them NO. The whole world shares. Good people share. Let us still love our neighbor and share. I don't think Jesus had everything new. I know we don't need all of our Second hand clothes going into the land fills. That would be such bad timing considering so many people are just now seeing the point in reusing grocery bags. they're second hand the moment the bagger handles them.
Please visit it and make up your own mind if you mind it or not. But I for one know that this is not the way to stimulate the economy. It will hurt all of us too much.
Besides. We're supposed to share with our neighbor.

This might clarify things a bit.

It looks like they are only permanently banning sleepwear, bibs, and toys that can fit in a baby's mouth, if I understood correctly. I'm hoping that means buying and selling everyday clothing second-hand will still be OK.
Good news! This article was just brought to my attention. Our wallets are saved!!! =)
