A quick pix of Bowl II in my series. A few more levels of sanding, stain, then it will be finished with beeswax.

Bowl II

Gorgeous!

 

[AZtortMom]

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.

Happy Friday and take care [emoji173]️

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.

I have to say...the older newspapers didn't get used for birdie toily paper. That kind goes to the landfill including the Timothy wabbit litter. Pretty soon our landfill is going to have the biggest earthworms on the planet.

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.

I have a childhood memory kind of like that too because of this discussion going on. We used to just save our newspapers in a box to be "recycled". That was about 50 years ago so it's hard to remember all of what we used the newspapers for. What was left was given to that type of drive though. I do remember balling it up really tight to start a barbecue. We never had to use charcoal lighter fluid.

In the mind of @CarolM, I imagine the "last time on" voice sounds like a Star Trek character. Perhaps the Kathryn Janeway voice.

Whahaha. I am now watching the USS ENTERPRISE with Captain Jean Luc Picard. So that would have to be his voice, if you please. [emoji23] [emoji6]

It’s slowly getting better. About 3 more weeks [emoji52]

That is good to know. Glad it is getting better. Before you know it, you will only see one of us at a time. [emoji6]

The pictures are not pulling through right now so will have to check them when I have better reception.

 

[CarolM]

You get paid for recycling?
Good idea it may encourage people here to think twice before just dropping the stuff!

Where we live the homeless people go through the trash cans and take out the recyclable stuff which they then go and sell for money.

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 want pics of your bunny please.

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.

Over here it is 20c per bottle. And the glass bottles of soda are cheaper than the plastic bottles.

You can make paper mashe ornaments with old newspaper as well.

Good Friday all.

I hope it is a good one.

Chat sometime later.

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.

I’m sure your girl will be fine and have a beautiful time during the field trip. Of course you’re nervous. That’s what moms are [emoji173]️

We have a bathroom contractor?? Wow! All we wanted was to get rid of a few cobwebs...

What do you mean: What a good idea? Are you asking me to write a weekly summary starting with "Previously in CDR..."

Love that. Every Monday morning? [emoji85][emoji23]

 

[Kristoff]

Hey guess Billna64 here[emoji16]...if you no

What happened to the first one? [emoji33][emoji23]

 

[Kristoff]

Oh no. Do you need me to put you in the fridge and reshape you back to what you were. I could maybe even improve those areas that you are not happy with.

Can I melt too?? [emoji85]

Hope you’re not bumping into walls anymore... [emoji173]️
