Target and Sam's Club and Dollar stores and (for the high end) The Container Store and places like Office Depot have lots of those kinds of boxes. I have quite a few here, especially the ones that have hanging files.

A big trash bag of mostly stuff pulled from my linen cupboards went to the thrift store today. Some of those old twin sheet sets had been on my bed when I was a child. But no one is going to use them now, and someone might pick them up and give them new life. Or maybe they're interesting in 40 year old patterns. . . Also took out some old mattress pads and some old pillows. They can recycle the Dacron fibre.

My laundry room cupboards are so tidy now--but I have a couple of boxes of useful stuff that isn't used often that needs to go in some bins on a set of shelves out in the garage. So I have to clean up those shelves before these go out. It's the child's party favor all over again--you know those little puzzles with 36 spots and 35 tiles? You have to move them into the blank spot and move the next one into the new blank spot and eventually they're in order.

SRS (who won't be online too much this evening--I have a sty in my eye that feels almost like a sinus infection because it's on a pressure point and I lobbed a stink bomb on another thread this morning before I left for work and don't feel like going back to see where the shrapnel landed. . . it's put the laundry in the dryer and an early night with Harry Potter 6. I want to finish this one before the film comes out.
