Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

I lived in an area that recycled everything and paid you to do it in the form of reduced garbage bill. Moved here where if you want to recycle, you have to take it to the center and pay them to take it. $60 for 6 months, lol. What a switch. Also, gave up on using my own bags at grocery stores here because the cashiers get confused when loading your groceries. They are used to their little circular thing with plastic bags on hooks.

It's sad that it's more cost-effective to trash, rather than to recycle waste. Many communities aren't willing to absorb the cost.

I know! I have a bunch of Chico bags and they look at me like I’m crazy at piggly wiggly when I try to use them.

I have skimmed. First, Sharpless? Did I get that right the name?

I have little to add but my parents always gave us spaghetti leftover sandwiches. You mix the noodles and the meat and then shove it between two pieces of buttered toast. It was my dad's thing. With that said, his parents were WWII refugees/great deressioners, so my grandmother was always doing stuff like feeding me battered brain. I have not had one in forever but one is sounding pretty good.

IF all the politicians are truly running for President (and it seems like they are) I say wee Hunger Games it this year. Too late for a certain lovely lady, but she might be in the primaries, and she'd be easy fodder she can't even manage her own email folders, dude.

I have been paying little HEED to the legislation of the ecig, sadly, it's been more like trying to find a pair of clean underwear in a sea of boxes for work than hunting down ecig news.

I'm pretty sure we sure still doomed though.

You can have mine, it comes pre-fried and completely battered as I look to the future.

Speaking of recycling, our city did away with ours at the end of March. I feel weird when I place my milk jugs and cardboard in the trash can. We are no longer given a 2nd can for recycling.

They were taking our recycle and dumping it in the landfill with all the other garbage till they got caught. Recycling is a bad economic model...sadly. I think we need other ideas to deal with our waste. I'm not one to get all hysterical over landfills but I don't like crap being tossed where it doesn't belong as much as the next guy.

Same result as the recent UK study on the same subject.
Never believed the supposed ecigs are the gateway to tobacco. Seems only to be believed in Washington.
Note this study also specifies every day use, which is also elusive to our leaders.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste" is always a good way to expand government further.

I'm curious and maybe one of our UK members can weigh in. Parents in the US get worked up over many things involving their children, even in the absence of any real science to support them. Is there resistance to vaccinations among parents in the UK like some activist groups in the US who go to great lengths to avoid childhood vaccinations?

 

[stols001]

I meant the spaghetti sandwiches

Apparently, per the husband, waste management in Tucson is like deeply corrupt in some financial way I tuned out on. In Douglas we only have a trash can. No recycling. I am thinking they send it all to Mexico, and they utilize it kind of in the same deeply offensive way that movie was (I forget it's old and possibly today censored) about that kid who found the coke bottle and it ruined his African Tribe.

Also, please be aware I may make a few Mexican jokes but they are totally tongue in cheek because absolutely 100% of the Mexicans I have encountered here, citizens or not, have all not only been SO MUCH nicer than most human beings, they are also healthier too.

With that also said I think Mexico has some kind of sewage issue near AZ where it is polluting the water table. it's unfortunate. I drink the stuff (filtered) but I have a cast iron stomach but like, the bottled water section of Walmart is huge.

I think the movie you are referring to is "The Gods Must be Crazy".

 

[stols001]

Yup. OMG my mom loved that movie so much. I think we saw it almost as many times as that one about transvestites crossing Australia.....

I seem to have "trauma induced mommy movie title syndrome." One Christmas (always then, IDK why) we, as a family, collectively refused to watch.

It was kind of awesome to be so in sync with not only my siblings, but their in laws. You just can't fake that kind of synergy. LOL.

I wish I had that kind of mind meld capacity with the new FDA head. But, I have not even seen his picture yet. Etc.

Although really, we should all watch those movies as a lesson in history. There's one my husband will put on from time to time where the dude spanks his wife, and like, everyone involved enthusiastically endorses it! Kind of puts breast feeding in public in like, perspective. I am not saying that SHOULD not be oh gosh. LOL, one time I had to ask some manager in a restaurant who was asking me to knock it off (I had a sling, too) how it could possibly be that EVERYONE but my kid was allowed to eat in his establishment, etc. But, he didn't try to SPANK it out of me.....

Oh god that reminds me of my German adoptive dad from the Dakotas. Born on a farm in 1918 to German immigrants after the “Great” War. I would stroll into the house wondering what was on the stove only to lift the lid and see cow brain. And what a smell. My god how totally disgusting. Needless to say I lost my appetite any and every time that happened.

Unfortunately I heard MA attorney general is now going after flavored e liquids and taxes. I sent her an email about why that’s a really bad idea. Of course no one listens to “us”

 

[stols001]

@Fidola13 LOL the staffers DO listen to you. They save their favorite emails and read them to each other and laugh. Then, some young upstart politician comes along and like, demands a knob polishing.

So yes, your voice is probably "heard."

I watch a show called The Last Alaskans. Chronicals the lives of the last handful of people living in ANWR. They live off the land for survival. One of their favorite meals is caribou head. They boil it and pick at the various parts. The brains are creamy.

Brains are also used to tan hides. There are enough tanning oils in one animal brain to tan their hide. Boil it up and brush it on.

Thank you for sharing.

You’re welcome. I’ve watched it enuf that it doesn’t bother me anymore. I’m calloused I guess.

 

[somdcomputerguy]

Yup. OMG my mom loved that movie so much.

That movie, "The Gods Must Be Crazy" is one of the very few movies that is my favorite. I must've watched it dozens and dozens of times, and get something more out of it every time. Part II sucked big time, IMO. Another favorite on that short list of mine is "The Legend of 1900".

Tell us you DO it, rather than watch it without gagging, then we'll call you calloused, Bronze.

You just have to watch the Brexit show to see that the UK has its share of nuttiness, but I think the anti-science variety of nuttiness is mostly an American thing. The first post-rational society.

There was something posted here a while back from a vaping activist in the UK. He was commenting on the latest FDA foolery and said, not that surprising coming from the land of the antivaxxers.

I don't think suspicion of science is a main driving force behind the opposition to vaping though. That's more about money and politics.​

We don’t have caribou in NC.
