Today's Question(s):

Never had one but would not mind one.

Where you live is there a specific way to discard such chemicals or can you just put them with the trash?
Every Saturday, our waste pickup vendor in an adjacent city hosts an event where chemicals can be disposed of. It's quite popular and the line of cars to get inside can get LONG.


What was a recent or memorable item or merchandise you returned?
Nothing comes to mind. It must have been a long time ago.

Can you remember why you returned it or anything else?
Please see above.^^^

Have you ever had a bad haircut?
I wouldn't call it bad, but it was shorter than I had liked. My hair grows back fast, though.


Foodie Question(s):
Have you ever lived where citrus grows, and if so, what state/province/region/country?
I currently live in such an area. When I was a kid, my family and I lived in Orlando, Florida, and there were (back then) lots and lots of citrus growing there, like oranges and lemons.

Today's Question(s):

I would like to. Thanks for asking. When are you coming over?

Where you live is there a specific way to discard such chemicals or can you just put them with the trash?
We have recycling here, but you can't just leave it at the curb. You have to schedule a pickup.
What was a recent or memorable item or merchandise you returned?
A garment that was ridiculously large.
Can you remember why you returned it or anything else?
I exchanged it for the next size down, which was too small!
Have you ever had a bad haircut?
Oh, boy, don't get me started. For one thing, my dad cut my hair until I was well into my teens. He thought he was an expert because his father was a barber. I have ample photographic evidence to the contrary.
Foodie Question(s):
Have you ever lived where citrus grows, and if so, what state/province/region/country?
Yes, I was born and spent my early years in Southern California. I remember the long drive on a two-lane road through seemingly endless acres of orange groves to get to Disneyland, which had opened the previous year.

Thanks, bjh!

Today's Question(s):

Technically, the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom are cleaned out periodically to get rid of outdated things including chemicals but don't specifically target chemicals. Have a service that cleans for me and they bring their own stuff to clean so my cleaning stash is small. Also live in an apartment so have no chemicals inside that would be used outside.

Where you live is there a specific way to discard such chemicals or can you just put them with the trash? I don't know what the town rules are for disposal of anything. Their trash is hauled away by the town. The apartment complex where I live has private trash pick up. We have one huge dumpster for everything.

What was a recent or memorable item or merchandise you returned? See, this is where the CD jinx comes in. The last time I answered this question that I never return anything, I had 2 in a row within the next 3 weeks. The last thing was a few years ago. Returned a CD player.

Can you remember why you returned it or anything else? Yeah, it didn't work.

Have you ever had a bad haircut? Yes.

Foodie Question(s):
Have you ever lived where citrus grows, and if so, what state/province/region/country?
Never did. Closest I ever lived to any fruit growing was cranberry bogs when I lived on eastern Long Island.

Some things you can set out with the trash. They hold collection days for others.
What was a recent or memorable item or merchandise you returned?
A panini maker.
Can you remember why you returned it or anything else?
I was told it was new. It was not. It was dirty which means it was a return.
Have you ever had a bad haircut?
Unfortunately. Then you have to wait for it to grow out.
Foodie Question(s):

Well, yes, in Texas, but hundreds of miles away in the Rio Grande valley.

Good morning to all!

Today's Question(s):
When was the last time you had a clean out of household chemicals or would you like to?
We cleaned out the cabinet under the kitchen sink a few months ago and got rid of a lot of unused chemical products in the process.

Where you live is there a specific way to discard such chemicals or can you just put them with the trash?
They have a hazardous items day at the local dump every so often.

What was a recent or memorable item or merchandise you returned?
I haven't returned anything in quite a while.

Can you remember why you returned it or anything else?
I don't recall the last return. I think it was a storage rack that I returned to Home Depot because we went with custom storage instead.

Have you ever had a bad haircut?
Every now and then, especially when a new barber starts working at the regular place I go to.

Foodie Question(s):
Have you ever lived where citrus grows, and if so, what state/province/region/country?
Never.

What say You:

"Generally I make it a policy never to skip a chance to _Have fun_."

That's all for me. Hope everyone has a great day!
