Gary Oldman joins Robocop -- (link) - Remlik May 23, 18:17
speaking of yelp, I'm peeved at them - I recently wrote my first two reviews for local restaurants, only to discover the other day that they'd been - b. May 23, 18:13 2
- one of their filters might be that the place you are writing about hasn't paid for premium placement, several local places are peeved about similar - zeitgeist May 23, 18:33
- *starts a pub review site called Gulp* -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 18:15
Has anyone here ever hired a junk removal service? The place we found online wouldn't give quotes - just curious exactly how much we are potentially - kelly May 23, 17:52 22
- Does whoever does your waste collection have a bulk trash/construction debris service? -- nm - prayformojo May 23, 19:09 4

- join local freecycle, start offering stuff - zeitgeist May 23, 18:40 8
  - We want trash gone; not to be a yard sale. - Will Hunting May 23, 18:48 7
    - there are people who want it, will take it off your hands, a pick up truck full at a landfill can cost $40-80 bucks, then add in labor, a dumpster can - zeitgeist May 23, 18:57 4
      - dump fee at the county dump {for a covered load) is $5 here. -- nm - landbeck May 23, 19:08 2
        
        our county has to ship our shit to idaho, so its expensive -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 22:29
        
        Pretty sure our dump charges by weight. -- nm - kelly May 23, 19:46
      - *IF* Will and Kelly are on good terms with neighbors, go in together on the cost of a container. - TWuG May 23, 19:01
    - Are the patio blocks in good enough shape to be reused? If so, look for a charitable group that might be able to use them. Habitat for Humanity - TWuG May 23, 18:56 1
      - I doubt it...they were pretty old, not in horrible shape but not great either. -- nm - kelly May 23, 19:12
- [deleted] 1
  - Heh; nah, we got a lot of patio stone that was left over from last year's remodel. - Will Hunting May 23, 18:51
- I've only used one for a small load; but my advice is to check Yelp for reviews, if they're well-used in your area, and make a bunch of calls. - b. May 23, 17:56 5
  - Heh. That's who I just made an appointment with. - kelly May 23, 17:57 4
    - they may be ok - they're franchises and had great reviews in some areas but not others. - b. May 23, 18:01 3
      - Oh, they have a minimum volume? That's good to know. We don't have *that* much out there. - kelly May 23, 18:04 2
        
        oh, just call your trash collector company and ask them about an extra large pickup, they should have a routine -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 18:41
        
        they have a minimum volume level - so they'll take, like, a single chair, but you may have to pay for more space. I was able to look online and they - b. May 23, 18:19
Devils!!! Sch-weet! :) -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 23, 17:17
Great - the latest development in the Quebec student protests is that at 8pm people come out from their houses and bang a stick against a metal bowl. - Roger More May 23, 17:15 6
- Could be worse. Could be... -- (link) - Qale May 23, 19:00
- This is starting to feel like an elaborate Improv Everywhere prank. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 17:39
- It's kind of cool that we may very well have crossed each other's path and didn't know it - Guigue May 23, 17:18 3

*wonders just what Stephen does with his grocery bags* -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:39 36
- just uses them? - b. May 23, 16:43 35
  - I've seen crochet patterns to make reusable totes out of plastic bags. I started one but got sidetracked. - MojaveMeg May 23, 17:00 3
    - There's a knitting pattern for a wedding dress made from plastic bags. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 19:20
    - yah, I've seen those, too. pretty cool. -- nm - b. May 23, 17:02
    - I have one that's for a water bottle. - the liioul without a u May 23, 17:01
  - I find it hard to believe they could be any worse than say, shoes. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:44 30
    - do you often put consumables in your shoes? or touch things you eat after touching your shoes? -- nm - b. May 23, 16:52 16
      - [deleted] 13
        
        some items have more packaging than others and have a more direct path from container to mouth.. - b. May 23, 17:07 5
        
        I should say, though, that ^^ is not of as much concern to me as what can get tracked from the outside of bags.. - b. May 23, 17:15
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        that was just my squicked aside. it applies to regular plastic-wrapped loaves. - b. May 23, 17:17 2
        
        So wait, I *shouldn't* use my gym bag for groceries? Wow! -- nm - Spawn May 23, 17:31 1
        
        *squint* -- nm - b. May 23, 17:32
        
        Yeah, that was kind of where I was going. I figure shoes track in far worse on carpets that people sit on and touch then ever gets to me in a bag. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 17:06 6
        
        I sort of hate to even mention this with all the germophobes around here, but the dirtiest thing in your house is probably your keyboard. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 17:17 5
        
        "and a sudden silence fell upon the forum" -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 17:21 2
        
        Eh, I bleach my hands before (and after) everytime I sit down at the computer. Probabloy one of the reasons I don't like a laptop computer. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 17:29 1
        
        sorry your hands are going to disappear soon! -- nm - b. May 23, 17:32
        
        Depends on how much handwashing you do, as well. - Spawn May 23, 17:21
        
        no worries, we already know and clean them. ;p - b. May 23, 17:20
      - probably. humans are dirty creatures. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 16:57
      - Actu... oh. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:52
    - local tv consumer reporter did a story on them, says the bags should be rinsed in bleach (which would likely dissolve some of htem) I just put meat in - zeitgeist May 23, 16:46 12
      - I would think distilled white vinegar would be preferable for this -- nm - con_carne May 23, 16:50 1
        
        It is. -- nm - the liioul without a u May 23, 17:00
      - why would bleach dissolve plastic bags? What's it sold in? -- nm - Reagen May 23, 16:49 6
        
        those reusable grocery bags are a heavy textured paper -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 18:47
        
        Harder plastic! -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:52 3
        
        You ever notice how you don't see expired jugs of bleach? - Spawn May 23, 16:53 2
        
        on the off chance you're being serious, it's because the bleach itself decomposes. - Reagen May 23, 16:56
        
        I've long said I wish that everything that expires (consumables, skincare products, etc etc etc) should have expiration dates or mfg dates; but you - b. May 23, 16:56

      - I actually think Krogers puts the meat into a plastic bag and then that bag into our sack, IIRC. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:48 2
        
        that's what I do myself, if they're available. (the produce-type bags.) -- nm - b. May 23, 16:54
        
        this. same for shampoo and some other liquids (ones that you wouldn't want on your food if they spilled) -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 16:51
Dammit guys! So it turned out I shouldn't have! - Guigue May 23, 16:37 9

    - aw, she checked "no" instead of "yes"? sorry. :( - -- nm - b. May 23, 16:56 4
      - Even when I get rejected I figure it's still a step forward for me! :) -- nm - Guigue May 23, 17:13 3
