I've been slowly working on cleaning out my spare room to make room for my quickly expanding tape collection. I had bought some books at the library several years ago, the discarded kind, thinking I would eventually sell them on Half.com and Amazon. Well these books just sat in that room, I never did anything with them. My daughter would go through them and pick out "kid looking" books and that was about the extent of it. These books literally took up a half of that room. Today I took about 90% of them to Goodwill. The rest, the ones that were pretty beaten up and old, we just took to the dumpster in the apartment complex where I live and pitched them in there. I just was up in my room that looks over the parking area where the dumpster is...and ther was someone TAKING THE BOOKS OUT OF THE DUMPSTER. Now these aren't just little trash receptacles. They are the big huge commercial dumpsters. What is worse...that they are actually in there taking those books out...or that they were watching my kid and me throwing them in there??!?!?!

Meangya. Do you know them? Next time you see them, yell out your window. I dunno what to yell out, just scare em a lil. O0o.. tell them you threw them out because they had worms and were getting all over your room! LOl. Thatll show them.

No I dont really know any of my neighbors (don't really want to LOL!). I just can't picture myself dumpster diving for anything much less books. Now if I'd have thrown money in there, okay. But old ratty books? Hope they find something worth reading.

I did make a lot of room in my tape room though
