A new collective?

[UrsulasShadow]

I just want you to know that the birds that fly south for the winter talk about you.

<ahem> Are you implying that my dryer lint is not up to snuff???




And have you seen how much dryer lint you get out of a Snuggie???? My birds are WARM (unlike those poor Florida birds).

Can you imagine being new to the boards and reading this?

How about the "dryer lint collective"?

I set my dryer lint outside, so birds and squirrels can use it to line their nests. How about you?

Me too! But I have to put mine up high (on the privacy fence or on a tree limb) to keep the dogs from messing with (i.e., eating) it.

Wow! I have learned something new today!! I have a whole garbage bag of collected dryer lint (just realized I have a collection so BONUS for me!! ) already saved up... (yes I just admitted that, good thing this is an anonymous board!)

Now what to do with dust bunnies?? Not that I have any of those!!

It's not like we've started the "Tibetan howler monkey" collective.

WHAT?!?! You mean you don't have the latest monkey model? I have the black one that only howls on Thursdays.

This has turned into a wonderfully fascinating thread! So many collectives to chose from, including monkeys!

My response was to Mainegal's post about "people in the real world" not having money for such things."

Kevin, I was talking about people I know in my "real life", as opposed to the people I know here on the Dis Boards.

Here in Maine, I know people who are out of work or woefully under-employed hoping they can make their rent or house mortgage. One of my library staff works full time, but her husband has not had consistent work for over a year and a half. They just started getting food stamps to help keep the family afloat.

I know people who use the library because they have no computer at home or money to buy books. Teens come to the library to play DDR and Guitar Hero because they do not have video games at home.

$25 coffee makers come from WalMart. Vacation is a day trip to the coast. And I have never seen a Dooney & Bourke handbag in central Maine.

I consider myself fortunate that I have a job with adequate pay, I do not spend more than I earn, have no debt and I am able to save money for the future. Truth is, I sometimes feel a bit out of element here!

Just the same, I am happy to go along for the ride.
