Mine is destined for my fire place. Ashes to be spread on my yard.

Thankfully, we’ve never had all that garbage recycling. It’s only been the last 15 years we’ve had garbage pickup. Before that, we burned and buried it. It costs about $60/mo for our one or two bags a week. Ridiculous.

Just ANYTHING they can think up to steal our joy. Gads. I’d rather have a million bucks than their dispositions....

Easter and Christmas are the biggest days of the year for atheists.

Do you burn your used tires on the driveway as I do? I try to burn on “Earth day,” but usually miss by a day or two.

I have 6 or so truck tires along with 8-9 passenger tires, waiting till I feel froggy. No need to wait for any particular date. Loggers came through our area this past summer and took out some 2000 acres of woods. They will be back in the spring(?) to replant. That may be my best time to burn debris so as to help nurture the rebirth of our forest. I'll give them young trees all the CO2 they can handle.

Yes they are.

Great idea if you have a quilter in your life, wrap their presents in Fabric they can later use.

I’d suggest watching STINKS on Netflix streaming about the Chems in the chinese crap. All it has to have is the word FRAGRANCE and it becomes a Trade Secret.

Or a Japanese wrapping cloth(Furoshiki) for the non-quilters.

Reusable.

Unless it requires more than one trash container on pickup day....where’s the problem? As long as there is ANY trash,there will always be some landfill problems. Burning it would simplify that one,but the “environmentalists” apparently think that is akin to murder, & is just not permitted in many areas.

For ladies who sew make grocery bags as many places are starting to do away with them. Put tissue paper on top to hide the item. Canvas or quilted would work well. Canvas you can paint on to personalize them to the person getting the gift.

That's all I needed. Anything you read after that is strictly for entertainment purposes.

Yes. Nixon was a RINO before the acronym:

EPA. China. 55. On and on.

Just proves that RINOs are still mostly hated by the left.

A warning to those considering either procedure get a GOOD rep Doctor, not a run you through like a herd of cattle. Or 1 of those cheap places.

The doc who did my first Cataract that sat in the center of my field of vision was supposed to be a A+ one. Left the Cornea like a Football, nicked a nerve and put in the Wrong lens. 18 yrs of H**L of burning and pain. Until Lasix fixed it, it’s not Perfect, but so much better, but the DRY EYE is a KILLER pain wise. And you get that with BOTH procedures you just aren’t TOLD that.

Another word of advise USE a OPTOMETRIST for your Refraction. That is his/her speciality, make sure you tell them where your vision was SET if you have lasix especially if it is not the typical settings.
