movers love book size boxes because square shit is easy to put in a truck.
trust me on this. my movers told me so. plus, they are just about the only thing you can use for heavy shit - like books.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Well, anything that's left to pack after they've left will be going in those damn boxes.

My movers would have LOVED for me to use small book boxes instead of the giganto file boxes I packed a literal ton of comic books and magazines into.

Yeah, I'd think they'd prefer small heavy boxes over large impossible boxes!
Secret confession, I really like packing. It's the unpacking I cannot abide.
I am le nubian, because I hate packing, but love unpacking. It's like a fresh slate! How can you not like that?!?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's one beautiful Venn diagram. And it turns out, unsurprisingly, that my own purely religious woo is strong. But of all the other woos out there, including everything where religious woo overlaps with one or more of the others, there were only four items on which I'm dubious but marginally willing to be convinced, mostly because of the personal experiences of people whose smarts I generally trust (ghosts, telepathy, chiropractics (some) and acupuncture (some)). Pretty much all the rest makes me go all squinty and stern. Except for ley lines, which make me go all squinty and "But it would be so cool if they were real!" and anti-vaxx, which just makes me want to punch people in the head.
But the pointillist pointer is even more beautiful than the woo Venn!
eta: I love culling, sorting, packing and unpacking and will happily sign on to any Buffista packing team ever, provided I can manage to get there.
And also, tommyrot in San Francisco, hooray! With bonus Monica!

Are chiropractors woo?

What professional movers really like a bunch of boxes that are the same size, but I hate the idea of buying boxes, so that's is too bad.

Thrive to spite them
I think chiropractors are considered woo because the guy who developed it claimed he cured a man's deafness by manipulating his neck.
And that something called subluxation is the sole cause of all ailments and illness in people and spinal manipulation is the only cure for all those diseases.
