Oh and by the way, BirthdayGirl.... you KNOW I never have "issues" with anything.glad to see there's no issue with 'piqued'
Rainy day today. Maddy stayed under covers most of the day. Must be missing her extra hair.
Didn't feel so hot today. Going to bed earlier tonight.
Good evening and goodnight Snails. Sleep well, sweet dreams and a better tomorrow for all

Honestly, I hardly noticed the change because I've always used my own shopping bags pretty much all the time--I have reusable bags in my car and in my purse, see the picture below, this one is from IKEA. Just an old habit. And I'm happy that our grocery stores stopped handing out millions of stupid free plastic bags that just pollute the environment and injure animals. If you forget your reusable bag, you can always buy a nice (reusable) plastic or paper bag for 10 cents, or a nicer, sturdier one for a buck or so.
No uproar here. People don't want trash on the beaches and in parks and streets. The only people who protested were plastic bag manufacturers, because some plants had to close and people lost their jobs, so that was the only negative.
You'll get used to it, Bear. In Europe you always had to pay for grocery store bags.
I'm not sure how NY ban works, but here it's only limited to grocery stores, so if you go shopping in a department store, for example, you'll still get your free plastic bags. Also, those small thin grocery bags for bagging produce are still available and free--you can use those for kitty litter and for lining small trash cans in the bathrooms or around the house. I reuse and/or recycle those. As for trash bags, those I buy--we have a 13-gallon trash can in the kitchen so grocery bags never worked.All that said, even with the ban, I still have tons of plastic bags around the house that I have to take to recycling bins because I can find no use for them.
i did
but now it's back to walking 3 dogs - the boy and gf will be off to vegas for a long weekend returning monday night
Just use paper bags, they degrade and are renewable. Some even have handles. Or buy the knit green ones (GF uses those).
You have to pay for paper bags here, Atty. You still have a choice of plastic or paper, but none are free anymore.
What am I being careful of?Night, Kat!
I hope you're having a nice birthday, Tibs!
Frannie, be careful.
Hugs to all y'all!
