Don't you love those hidden-object games online? I'm going to play a bit of that with pictures from home, because with my boyfriend's help, I've noticed one of the most prevalent items my family keeps, are product boxes. In my apartment last year, I had a hall closet full. Here we go.
Empty (holding more junk) boxes in the house:
~12 pill boxes (the kind that pill bottles come in)
1 strobe light bar box
~10 shoe boxes
1 VCR box
1 headphone (just gifted to dad for birthday last month) box
1 computer box
1 monitor box
~12 large unmarked shipping boxes
1 garbage bag box
~25 bottles/gallon jugs (soda/milk etc)
~4 bags of cans (soup/soda etc)
~30 reused takeout containers
1 reused Styrofoam mushroom container
~12 wine bottles
~15 jars (mason/baby food/pickle etc)
1 deep fryer box
1 triple banquet food warmer/server
4 new stereo piece boxes
________________________________________________
~180 empty, unnecessary boxes/containers
~1300sqft house
________________________________________________
~7% of the house is made up of boxes that are empty or holding more junk
(i.e. our skin makes up 7% of our body weight)
On a more positive note, I found this inspiring story that sounds a lot like many of us COH:
