hi heather.!! i'm great. its friday.
waiting for robin to get home from work, then off to shop for easter stuff??

Hiya Mike!

I have to shop for easter stuff too....my MIL is having an easter egg hunt for the boys, but the moms and grandma are all providing the eggs.

 

[millerpjm]

Ok, time FOr me to go pick up Thomas!

 

[Dyerneeds]

That sounded like me most of the day Jen. I only got done about 1/2 of what I should have done. I kept thinking all day to myself...............I SHOULD be leaving for vacation after work today, did not make for a very pleasant day for me to say the least...............

OK, my ranting and venting are over for now, boy it feels good to get that out...........

i feel your pain andy.

in march of 2000 we were to go to wdw for a week and catch a spring training indians game. then somehow i got a staph infection that got into my blood and the damage resulted in my heart surgery. i remember telling the cardiologist, we were supposed to leave for florida today.

but if i want to turn that into lemonade....i have this cool scar that the chics really dig.

 

[Verandah Man]

Actually, in the real world, if life gives you lemons, ues them to garnish a glass of Mike's Hard lemonade! Or an amaretto sour, or a tequila sunrise....ok, I don't know enough drinks....

Andy, I feel for you...I'm setting my out of office message for today since I'm off on Monday - but I'm off on Monday to get the basement done. Not anything fun ...it's never fun to have to give up a vacation!

Oh, I forgot to mention....................I came home from work today and was greeted by a teenage daughter with major PMS, how lovely for me............

The latest I heard is, she isn't going to the Prom. I don't know the whole story, but I was told she and Frank decided not to go. Kids........

had the surgery on st. pats day.(now robin hates that day)
i say it was good luck. but i guess not so much for her. she probably already had that life insurance money spent.

 

[Verandah Man]

Oh, dinner is ready............breaded turkey cutlets, stuffing and cranberry sauce, one of my favorite meals!!!

hope she changes her mind. she may be sorry if she misses it.
i took robin to hers. but the next year i had no desire to go to mine.
she went to a small school. about 50 kids in her grad class. mine had 450.
i think the small school is much better. we always go to her reunions.
but we only went to my 25th and we left early.(boring)

 

[Dyerneeds]

and my pop tarts home. i'm outta here.

 

[millerpjm]

I'll trade you your PMS-y teen for my tantrum-y 5 year old!

DS did not have a good day today at school....I think he's still not getting enough sleep from the time change. Sigh....

They want us to recycle...but then tell you that they will only take certain plastics. Mind you since we've been recycling, I've reduced our waste by half.

JMHO, but the best recycling program we've experienced is the one in Monterey, CA. Our recycle bin was double the size of our trash bin. When we first moved there, I thought we'd never be able to live with such a small trash bin, but that forced us to recycle more and more. In just a couple of weeks, we were filling up that huge recycle bin (sometimes over-flowing it). We didn't have to rinse anything or sort anything either. It was so easy that I don't know why every state doesn't do it that way.

I did recycling arizona and got this:

http://www.recyclearizona.net/makingmoney.html

I'd try that search and see what other links you get also...

Thank you Jen. I have found that it is between 70 and 80 cents a pound

We have the same here. I don't have a problem recycling, what I have a problem with is having to pay to recycle.

If Andy does not want to trade let us know we have a PMS-y teen, that we are more then willing to trade.


Andy we feel your pain.

 

[MinnMick01]

That is true. We have to pay for the can we put our recycle items in.

 

[minnieandmickey]

That is true. We have to pay for the can we put our recycle items in.

We not only have to do that, but there is a tax on soda cans and water bottles. So in a sense we are paying twice to recycle those items.

 

[MinnMick01]

I got them

It was complete drama but I got our DL tickets.


I am so excited.
