I have two comments, which probably means I have three

1) make sure that while you're strategically placing the interesting reads 'round town that you somehow obliterate the address label. This could come back to haunt you some way some how. I once got an e-mail from Vicky's Secret about my non-existent order because the person ordering had put in the code from the back of a catalog and then given the correct name and address. Vicky apparently did not care about the correct information and insisted on e-mailing me the order status. Took forever to get figured out. LLBean did that too with someone with the same first letter of first name, same last name as me. Order confirmation got mailed to me, the non-orderer. When I looked up my history online I had like 3 or 4 non-me orders listed. Debbie at Bean was very helpful, but it was also stupid.

2) textbooks are worse than cars in depreciation. They go from $100+ to $15 with or without any visible damage. Personally, especially because the content is usually poop (why else would I be getting rid of it???), I'd rather have the car.

and with all that typing I forgot the 3rd thing, which means I actually stuck to two. Yay me. Decluttering already.
