We just started recycling about 2 weeks ago (a little late, but better than never starting) and I am shocked how much can be recycled. Other than food waste and really gross paper, just about everything can be recycled. Before we were throwing out AT LEAST 1 13 gallon trash bag a day, packed. Now, we throw out 1 plastic shopping bag of garbage every 2 days. We used to fill, and then some, our 70 gallon garbage cart every week. Now, it is less than half full, and most of that is Glenn diapers.
Once you have everything set up, recycling is surprisingly easy to do. It also makes you feel like you not are killing the Earth as bad as you were before. If your community recycles, give it a try, it is not that hard.

In Texas recently, many people reported seeing UFOs dashing about. The Air Force says they were just fighter jets training. I believe them.
You know why? I don’t know if there is intelligent life out there. The odds say that there is. The odds also say the chances of us meeting one is next to nothing. Any life out there is either bacteria or gods.
So, to believe in UFOs, you have to accept a race intelligent enough to travel hundreds or thousands of light years comes to Earth, strap on the brightest lights possible to their craft, and then buzz a small town in Texas. You would think after the invention of the camera 150 years ago, in the trillions of photos taken, we could get a clear shot of these apparently brightly lit craft. I have seen photos, they all look like pie tins and model kits hurled in the air to me.
If I was an alien race, and wanted to be seen (they fly with running lights), I would just pop the damn hatches open in the center of Washington D.C. or downtown Chicago or Tokyo or London or something like that. Zipping around farm country seems a bit silly. Also, I am not going to travel a trillion trillion miles to come to Earth to steal cattle genitals and blood. Think about it people. If we had the technology to travel across the vast voids of space, how would we act? Certainly not like how our supposed UFOs do. Anal probes and bull testicles? Makes no sense at all. Of course, a real alien race would think differently than us, but that different?
(In this post, I assume UFO’s are craft of an alien race come to Earth. There are certainly real UFOs all the time, it can be a weather balloon, a fighter jet, or a Soyuz space station burning up in the atmosphere. To the untrained or even trained naked eye, some things are just outside your realm of experience and seem alien to you. It’s human and understandable that mistakes can happen.)
Only 23 days into this crappy year and we have the following:
Tiff needs a root canal, hopefully it will really be done tomorrow.
Glenn has an ear infection.
Glenn will need a follow up with the doctor in a month.
Glenn got 3 shots tonight.
We have filled more prescriptions in the last week than we have in the last 5 years.
Tiff will need a tooth crown, which takes a least 2 more dentist visits.
My mother in law is very not supportive If I didn’t know better, I would think she has autism. Heck, she may have been living with it her whole life.
The stock market is on a scary roller coaster ride.
The weather has sucked since the opening of the new year. Cold, snow, cold, repeat.
Ugh. Life is not like the movies, you have to wake up the next morning.
Tiff was not able to get the root canal today, but worst case, it will be done on early Thursday morning. I was hoping that the call at 1:00 was her telling me it was over, but it was just an evaluation.
Tooth pain sucks and it will put anyone in a bad mood.
Glenn had a bad knock on the head tonight, so we decided to put away his piano till he gets older. He won’t be able to play it if he gets brain damage. I am sure there is no permanent damage, but it really sucks to see him in a little pain. He doesn’t know any better yet.
So we went to the mall to look around and stretch our legs.
Glenn got a cute gift that Mommy bought. There were a bunch of little craft kiosks around the mall, so he got a print with a cute saying for each letter of his name. Ironically, the man who sold it to us son is named Glenn as well, same spelling.
Went and saw a few watches while I was there. Very unimpressed by ESQ brand watches. It may be swiss, but the fit and finish were awful compared to the Seiko I was wearing. It also cost about twice as much as well. It was a chronograph with a cheesy digital display. Kinda like a $30 Casio or Timex, except it cost about $230.
Tried on a Bulova Chronograph as well. Solid end links, nice case, asstastic quartz movement. It only ticked once a second with no tenths or hundredths of a second dial. It cost over $330. For that kind of money I can pick up two (2) Seikos that the timing hand moves at 1/5 second intervals AND it has an alarm AND a dual time zone.
Methinks the Swiss are relying on their history a bit too much.
