Journal Entry 1 by Markmrf from Springfield, Missouri USA on Monday, September 10, 2007

Valerie (Box 1)

This box came back to me almost nine months to the day it went out. I had almost forgotten about it. We had an ice storm come through the same week I sent it out in Janurary and I was a little distracted learning to live without electricity for two solid weeks during the coldest time of the year. ... You guys dont know what fun is until you do without heat in January. Anyway. This the second go round for this box.



The Ten Commandments. ….
1. Tape the entire box securely so nothing comes open. Check for anything on the box, or wrapping paper that might get caught and tear apart during shipping.
2. Replace as many books as you take. One Hardback = two paperbacks and vice versa if you put in a hardback.
3. If the box looks like it will not make it to the next person, replace it.
4. PM the next person for their mailing address
5. Keep the box for no more than two weeks
6. Use book/media rate mail.
7. You must take at least one book marked with MRF on the bottom
8. If you are the last person on the list, remove all the MRF marked books to make sure I am not getting back any of my own books. (It will save you some postage too.)
9. Make a journal entry for the BOX when it arrives so I can figure out when it arrived and where it is.
10. Leave the instructions, original content list, and the list of BC names inside the box for the next person.
