I took several bags of clothing, rags, rugs, and oddball homemade things that no one uses any more over to the thrift store. It filled a shopping cart when I emptied it all from the truck.

I've had a brainstorm about that computer monitor I need to get rid of. It is a flat panel LCD that still works, it simply doesn't have the contrast I need for using Photoshop. I have a friend with a huge monster of an old CRT monitor (along with a 7-year-old Dell) and I told him I'd let him have this. I'm going go call later and ask if he'd like to come to lunch and pick it up. I'll see if I still have the disk with the drivers, otherwise I'll get them online. Great way to recycle this and when I told him I'd save it for him he was really grateful to get this big CRT off of the desk where he works.

Lin, is JunK still clearing out boxes and books? I had Half-Price books dispose of my computer books. What they tell you is that if it might be useful someplace else they send it to their warehouse to be sent out or donated. They also have a recycle bin dedicated to paper. Have JunK box those computer books and take them over (do you have Half Price Books near you? I see by their web site that they have them in Lawrence, Olathe, and Overland Park, also in Kansas City (MO, I think.) Here's the list.
