Moving On

I don’t know.  I don’t know if I want to give up my moving boxes.  I worked hard to get those boxes.    I had to wake up the crack of Trader Joes' operating hours to grab their boxes before they met the compactor.  I had to yell at one of those office superstore aisles for charging $12 a box.  I had emoted with glee when UHaul only charged $2 for recycled boxes (nice Uhaul).  I followed the 2 step assembly instructions and taped and re-taped the edges.  And my labeling system - flawless.   

And now what? My brother tells me I can help out others and the environment by giving away my boxes on Craigslist, and I have to do it?  What if I move?  I mean, I live in the wrong side of Mountain View (is there a wrong side?)  My apartment is bookended by two 7 elevens, can’t be good for property values.  Except it is fun giving out directions.  “If you hit the 7 eleven you’ve gone too far…or not far enough.”

Fine, fine, I’ll give away my boxes.  That reminds me to remind you there’s probably a lot of recycle opportunities on Craigslist.  Good eco-tip, no?  Back to my boxes.  Check out “Free Stuff” in sfbay craigslist and take my boxes… but I’ll keep the memories (little cheese is good every now and then.)

Hi. I hate to ask an account question in a comment on your blog, but I can't seem to get anyone to respond to my e-mails. I don't know if they are getting trapped by your spam filter, but this is the second time this has happened, and it's a bit frustrating.

I had a long list of catalogs on my account a few weeks ago, and now the list is suddenly really short. Many catalogs I had added have disappeared. I can't tell you which ones they are because I was keeping track of them on your site instead of writing them down.

Can you please look into this for me and e-mail me back directly?

Thanks,
Beth Terry
