I don't know how many people I've given your book to--it's marvelous.<br /><br />And yes, we should think of Goodwill, thank you (I certainly buy from them, via Amazon!)<br /><br />I have just filled another few boxes to take to Savers, a Big Brothers and Big Sisters charity, and I don't know if they do likewise.

Goodwill locations are now listing their books and CDs for sale via Amazon. They make more than they would otherwise and the person who really wants that item is more likely to find it. So pleasing!Dinah Sandershttp://www.discardia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708111215873269960.post-45745823346573498852014-10-24T19:39:47.087-05:002014-10-24T19:39:47.087-05:00The books are what is hard for me, Rita...partly b...The books are what is hard for me, Rita...partly because I can't figure out WHAT to do with them! Our library doesn't take donations, and some of these really ought to go to the "right home," but really.

Three bags of books just went out the door Tuesday and I have lots more books to go through. It is a lot of work but feels just wonderful!! Enjoy!!

SO much stuff we'll never need and just isn't worth recycling. Or not possible to. <br /><br />I think in part this is the curse of artists and creative people..."But I could DO something with that!!" "I wanna get back to that when life is simpler!"

Now Staples will take it all free of charge and if we don't want to wait until we're going to Overland Park (the nearest one), Computer Recycling LLC is a tad closer and will at least take the towers free. The monitor will cost twenty-five cents a pound, but since that'll be around five bucks, that's fine.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942878286575860417noreply@blogger.com
