You know you love books when you discover a bunch of your kid books that have been in a box mildew damaged and the majority of them unsalvagable and you feel like a loved one has died. *sniffs* These were all the books that I first read. Some of them might be replacable, but it's going to be hard to find the same editions. *sighs* See, I was saving these for my kids so that we didn't have to have a lot of the new, liberal, books.

Same with the stuffed animals that got ruined. Though I wanted to save those for sentimental sake.

Oh well, these things are elemental.
