Newsletter!

Ditto on the newsletter!!!!!

Luanne

I just wanted to thank you for an AWESOME newsletter. I got it today. Perfect timing with the match coming up this week! Every article was helpful to me and I put it to use today. I went through baby clothes and got rid of 5 garbage bags full! I have never gotten rid of any of my kids clothes (unless they are falling apart!) so it was good to get rid of stuff we don't want to move again.



Thanks again for the GREAT articles and for all you do!

p.s. now I am going to check out some of the websites that were suggested ...

Kate-



take them to a used bookstore or sell them on half.com, I sold several USMLE Step one and two books, plus a few books he had on residency, etc.



I also donated a whole bunch to a local high school.

I'm with Robin...It's off to check the websites...I imagine once Thursday happens I'll have lots more questions...It's BOOKS we need to thin out if we're ever going to move...

Kate

Thanks for the positive feedback....



Books were our downfall when we moved, but we couldn't seem to "let go"...every single box was lined on the bottom with books

I can't believe that my husband NEEDS all of these books!!! Everytime I try to get rid of something he has some reason for keeping it. This book has a chapter on such and such that is better than this other book. But this other book ... etc. etc. Books will definitely be our downfall too. The darn things are so heavy too and everytime I turn around he is on the internet buying more! We did get rid of the USMLE stuff. We actually barely got rid of the MCAT books!!!



If we find out we are moving on Thursday, there will definitely be some books going, among other things!

Thanks for the half.com recommendation...a friend of ours has sold her med books there...it's just getting him to part with them...but NOW, what about the JOURNALS?!?!? Anybody have any great suggestions for minimizing the accummulation? Right now we only get NEJM and JAMA (and Scince News and...) but I imagine it will only get worse. My dh claims he will go through them and rip out the articles he wants to put in files. Meanwhile we must have 3 years worth at least gathering dust...but isn't it all available online?

Kate -

Ha ha. The journals. Does your husband actually READ them? Or does he just set them aside "to be read later" - yeah, right! I haven't the faintest clue what to do with the growing pile of journals. I know that any suggestion of parting with them will meet quite a bit of resistance. But we receive one almost every single day - you figure 7 journals a week, 49 journals a month, that is nearly 600 journals per year. . .ha ha.

I convinced my husband to go high tech and now he is in agreement (can you believe it?) that he will try to get them on CD -- a year's worth at a time. THat means less of them collecting dust and less of them to take with us to move.



YES!!!!
