Hello Everyone. I've decided it's time to organize and store my instruction manuals. The large size manuals don't fit very well into folders, because the tops peak out and are bound to get bent. (!) I have 100+ instruction manuals, so small-scale (...) (24 years ago, 17-Sep-00, to lugnet.storage)

This is for the recycling set... If you have two liter pop bottles, and some of them are made by different companies, then it is a good bet that the bottles came from different factories...for example, Coca-Cola as opposed to Sam's Choce or Pepsi. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.storage)
