I second the freecycle rec. It's huge in this area for boxes.

Great to hear the anti-nausea drug is doing its thing, Ginger.

I'm envisioning the chemo drugs themselves as micro-warriors, complete with 300 style abs, skirts and battle cries. In my mind, they are bellowing, "THIS. IS. GIN-GER!" and then kicking the shriveled cancer cells down the well...to their ignominious demise as they are flushed out every time you pee.

That last bit might be too much, but heh, it's my fantasy and I'm sticking with it.

Copy paper boxes are awesome for moving. sj, check freecycle, too.

Yes, I'm going to pick a couple up from Staples tomorrow. probably not enough for all the books I have to pack though.

No, this is EXACTLY how they work. Including the skirts and abs.

I'm a pharmacy editor. You can trust me.

I had a professional mover chastise me once for using copy paper boxes. He said that the _reams_ were what gave the box strength and that the actual weight/gluing of the cardboard was pretty flimsy.

He highly endorsed the liquor boxes because they were strong and small enough to be schlepped by anyone. He gave a massive thumbs down to grocery store boxes due to the potential for transporting roach eggs, mold and other uglies.

To this day, I do not use the boxes as Costco for this reason.

I usually reinforce everything with tape, so they have worked well for me. I like liquor boxes for some things, but most of them are too small for packing books.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Like I said before. I learn so much here!

Does Ginger get to keep the abs? How cool would that be, just absorb all those tight stomach muscles. If that's the case, I may want some of that 300 style drug!

That makes sense, the box just gives a container for the reams so they don't slide all over.
