I’d have brandy if there was no wine. Or gin. Or port...

Denmark has no mountains (please don’t tell the Danes — they’ll throw all their Carlsberg and Tuborg beer cans at me!) [emoji33]

The avatar is from geocaching: the World Turtle.
Well you could just gather up all the cans into a bag for recycling. If you happen to fall(like I did)with 2 fractured ribs...the bag of cans made a great pillow to land on. Then I got paid for recycling the cans...

I’m pulling up my big girl pants and heading out.
Meeting with our bathroom contractor, groceries and dry cleaner.
My daughter (13) is on a 13 hour field trip visiting 3 colleges in the Los Angeles area which is 2 hours from here. Bit nervous because it’s sprinkling. They are on the big touring buses but I get worried because you just don’t know about the driver.
Are you well enough to be that busy?
Hope daughter has a good day and I'm sure she will be OK.

Good idea it may encourage people here to think twice before just dropping the stuff!

I've had a steamy session in my living room while watching tv.;)
Yup - been ironing again!:)

I am just about to turn in for the night because I'll have to be up and organised earlier than I've been used to tomorrow, I can't turn up at the hospital in my PJs!!
My nephew is going to accompany me in a taxi as none of family with cars is available and I'm still nervous about going out on my own.
I really don't know how I would have coped without him while I've been home. I owe him big time!
Anyway hope everyone has a good Friday and I'll be popping in to let you know if I've been given the boot!
So take care and Nos Da.

Yes for some stuff. Especially aluminum cans etc...they pay 54 cents per pound for aluminum cans right now. At least some of my trash isn't going into the ocean or a landfill. I use the money to buy Timothy hay for my bunny's litter box.

We used to have “paper drives” too when i was in Scouting. Every few months or so, we would walk the streets of our town and collect bundles of newspapers that ppl had put out. We’d collect, then truck to a recycling center to earn money for our Troop. I don’t suppose too many people do that.

Glass bottles in some states will say 5 cent deposit. Collect enough and it adds up.

My Friday is good already from reading your post. Sounds like you have a sidekick looking out for you.

I use some of our newspapers for my zebra finches birdie poo paper. I'll probably deliver the older stuff with the cans. Just for gp.

We save our recycling too and end up with about $60.

You just brought up a childhood memory!!
Our elementary school would have a contest to see which grade collected the most papers and the winners got an ice cream party. I’m guessing the money went to our school.
