My folks still live in a place w/out garbage service--but without the extra kids, they just seal the cans and make the trips every so often! Purty sweater, Roxie! Must needs make one for my kids!Amy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885706951931450373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29452093.post-13721027238693876862009-11-29T06:49:52.418-08:002009-11-29T06:49:52.418-08:00Our dump had two side to it.

Across a small parking lot, on the uphill side people tossed their broken furniture, etc. Sometimes dumpees would loving place an old arm chair or appliance a little away from the heap. My guess is that they believed their discarded item to be better than the others, or that it had been well-loved and he/she hoped someone would adopt it. I don't remember rats, but we had flocks of seagulls.Heidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409844966813816495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29452093.post-23983804354260537022009-11-29T06:44:41.320-08:002009-11-29T06:44:41.320-08:00One time, many years ago I went to a Walmart store...One time, many years ago I went to a Walmart store to buy some Duplos for my oldest daughter on a Black Friday. The crowds were rabid, rude and bordering on dangerous. As I jostled my way towards the toy department I was pushed twice by a rather large man behind me. The only thing keeping me from falling were the bodies in front of me. The third time he shoved me I turned around, and in a very unlady-like and un-charitable way said, "Merry f*^%ing Christmas!" then joined the wave of shoppers leaving the area. No amount of discounted crap is worth losing humanity. Never again.<br /><br />Your sweater is positively gorgeous. And your DH is correct, it does look like Urban Camoflage. My own DH was just issued a pile of new BDUs that are alarmingly sand colored, with very similar patterns.Heidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409844966813816495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29452093.post-20711044446758396832009-11-27T17:27:00.067-08:002009-11-27T17:27:00.067-08:00It's funny that you should be thankful for tra...It's funny that you should be thankful for trashmen on the self same day that I was thinking about how much trash the city of San Diego must generate every week and wondering what it would be like if everyone had to deal with their own trash. Would the city become overrun with garbage (and rats) or would people step up and get serious about recycling and composting? Yeah, I need to get a life...Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29452093.post-37741880388741031852009-11-27T15:48:50.422-08:002009-11-27T15:48:50.422-08:00I wouldn't brave the mall either. Though I did...I wouldn't brave the mall either. Though I did go to Fred Meyer this afternoon, once the 6-hour sale was over. Surprisingly the parking lot wasn't completely full. And it was quite civilized inside, just like any normal day. <br /><br />We missed you at Chrysalis. Hope you'll be back next week.<br /><br />Okay, back to putting up my Christmas decorations. Why is the yellow on my multifunction strand of lights out? And why did it have to wait until I was halfway done wrapping it around the tree to develop this glitch? Well, maybe I can talk my sweetie into buying me a new set when he goes to Lowes.Lisa Nowakhttp://lisanowak.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
