Hi Dave,
RH> Easy way to prevent the car from being taken. Too bad they didn't have
RH> the remote start when I was growing up; I remember too many Sunday
RH> mornings when we'd head outside to a cold car and be almost to church
RH> before it warmed up. There were some Sundays it didn't start and we'd
RH> walk to church, arriving quite cold. By the time the school bus got to
RH> us, it was always warm so we weren't as concerned about a cold vehicle
RH> during the week.
DD> The best case overall is still a heated garage w/room to park the car.
DD> Heck, I can't even get into my carport with all of the "treasurers"
DD> that Dennis haa pack-ratted for "possible" use.
We don't even have a car port, just a driveway with enough parking for
the truck and camper and clearance for the sidewalk.
DD> 8<----- CUT ----->8
DD> Dennis, pack-rat that he is, saves all take-away containers. And I,
DD> realist that I try to be, dump arm loads of them into the wheelie bin
RH> We have some plastic "throw away" stuff that I keep reusing for soups,
RH> etc for the freezer. Trouble is, the lids are a thinner plastic so they
RH> break easier--I need to sort thru and toss containers with no lids.
RH> I've also got some Tupperware that gets used for freezing or storage of
RH> dry goods in the pantry.
DD> I know the words to that song. I use the serving bowls in the Healthy
DD> Choice meals for cereal/oatmeal, soup, one-pot meal servings and/or
DD> salads ... oh, and sometimes for I scream or side dishes. The only
DD> problem is that the plastic used stains easily if used for chilli or
DD> red sauced pasta, etc. Those are binned and there will, no doubt, be
DD> replacements added to the stack soon.
They do tend to pile up. I try to keep only a minimal amount of the
disposable and use them mostly for freezing soups, stews, etc. Leftovers
that go back into the fridge go into glass containers, as does cut up
fruit and other such stuff that needs to be put in the fridge. Used to
do a lot of Tupperware until Steve retired from the military; since we
don't have to meet a weight allowance any more, I've switched to glass.
