assorted other blathering.

so, if you're donating stuff to the morgan memorial or rosie's place or someone like that, they often ask you to estimate the value of what you're donating for the receipt. is there a good ground rule for that with regard to, say, boxes of books, or bags of clothes?

also, i know the city of cambridge has a 'free book' area in the DPW recycling yard. Anyplace else for some kind of "leave some books, take some books" book recycling operation around locally? Most everything that would do well being resold to a mainstream used bookstore can likely find a home with some requestor at books for soldiers, but i've also got things like old tech manuals and such. I suppose I can always put them under my carport in a box, make a list of them, and post to gb-reuse/freecycle/craigslist and see how many are left after a few days.

also also, DAMN YOU, CITY SLICKER. city slicker keeps messing up my order. attempting to order a white pizza via foodler has failed several tomato-soaked times. and just last night, we ordered via telephone but they neglected to actually bring the caesar dressed part of our caesar salad on their first trip to my house. *shake fist*

also^3, i have decided that i am not nanowrimo'ing this year. perhaps next year i'll dive back into it.

The Salvation Army has a guide for estimating as well.
