  - There's not a lot of specifics, they just sort of threw it out there during a Network ad on the PPV last night. - Tim Apr 27, 13:33 3
    - more exclusive NEW content on the Network to push. Next month it could be something else. They could resurrect War Games or Starrcade as Network - Remlik Apr 27, 13:34 2

Interesting (to me) thing at the recycler this week. People ahead of me had a *lot* of cans. When they were done the attendant asked to see their - Meg Apr 27, 12:57 17
- in the early days of recycling it was a thing to fill a truck and drive across state lines -- nm - z on the go Apr 27, 13:13 5
  - now I think it is a law to track thieves who drive down the street grabbing recycling from bins, the garbage Co is loosing $$ - z on the go Apr 27, 13:19
  - Our state lines are a *long* way away from the coast :) -- nm - Meg Apr 27, 13:19 3
    - you underestimate the span and reach of the soda-can syndicate. Fake name, addresses, crossing state lines with cans in tow.. -- nm - decline Apr 27, 13:22 2

        if you can triple the money, those are better odds than the tables, used to be anyway - z on the go Apr 27, 13:47

  - I just have to print and sign my name for my $12 -$15 every two months. -- nm - Meg Apr 27, 13:20 4
    - Or everybody in the state could pay $20 less for the products every two months and just let the garbagemen collect them like most places. -- nm - Ender Apr 27, 13:23 3
      - Honestly, I don't think encouraging people to buy more products in cans and bottles is a direction we want to go -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:36 1
        
        our recycling service will not accept bottles nor plastic any more -- nm - z on the go Apr 27, 13:49
      - I'd guess the vast majority of people here just put them in regular recycling (or trash :/). as I recently whined about, it's a hassle - b. Apr 27, 13:28
  - also, I am sure people do cross lines for the money. there was even a "seinfeld" episode with that storyline for kramer. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 13:13 1
    - That was such a missed opportunity for me in college. - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 27, 13:17

- what's this deposit thing you speak of? - decline Apr 27, 13:05
- It's 10 cents on cans/bottles 24 oz. or more. Still, seems odd to need a license. -- nm - Krusty Apr 27, 13:04
You know what's nice? Finding a pottery barn samantha entry way bench at a yardsale for $10. minor scrapes and no cushion or baskets, but easy redo. - CQ Apr 27, 12:54 4
- did you find it today? who has a yard sale on a Monday? -- nm - Andie Apr 27, 13:02 3
  - it was a community yard sale and no one bought it over the weekend, so I got it last night -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 13:05 2
    - also, I think it could be easily converted into a basement door or the like. very solid -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 13:06 1

- custom doors are not that big a deal, a solid wood door you just cut, better yet a steel door... - zeitgeist Apr 27, 12:13 10
  - stop by lowes/HD and ask (you'll be making friends at one of these, you'll replace your favorite dept store card with a lowes/hd card soon enough) -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 12:17 1
    - this isn't my first house. I previously owned a house built in 1924. this one is much newer. I know what to expect but thank you for your care - amanda Apr 27, 12:19
  - do you seriously think I ignored all of that and chose to focus on a damn door? - amanda Apr 27, 12:17 7
    - for the sake of slack conversation it seems like a good gambit - zeitgeist Apr 27, 12:20 4

  - And a moat. Everyone wants a moat. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 27, 12:13

- say yes and buy a house -- nm - decline Apr 27, 12:00 1
  - yeah, I think you're right. -- nm - amanda Apr 27, 12:02
Is Captain Marvel a big deal in the comic world? -- nm - Loyola Apr 27, 11:44 11

- In that everyone seems to have one, perhaps. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 27, 11:45 9
  - There's so many of these heroes. I'm wondering how come it hasn't been made yet if so popular. -- nm - Loyola Apr 27, 11:53 8
    - I also remember watching he-man cartoons when I was a kid. Don't think they made a film of it. -- nm - Loyola Apr 27, 11:55 7

  - Drat. I won't get to see it until Friday. (But luckily work is paying) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 11:48
- It's now hit the point for the AAA releases that we're only 25% of the gross at best, there's more money everywhere else. -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 11:46 7
  - I get this, I do. What is the detriment of a universal release for everyone? Is it getting the stars to media events country specific? -- nm - Bacon Apr 27, 11:47 6
    - That's part of it. Also, different countries have different holidays, and the distributors also have different schedules. -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 11:53 5
      - Well, I for one and going to protest it and not see it 5 times only 4 times now. Screw em! -- nm - Bacon Apr 27, 11:59 4

  - You just ruined Superman vs. Batman *tosses up the softball for someone* -- nm - Bacon Apr 27, 11:46 1
    - You just ruined Bull Durham! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 13:01

Amanda - what about " new house" scents...what are you thinking? Sand and Sun Yankee Candle? more of a Freesia? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 27, 11:30 4

- My MIL *lurves* Sun & Sand Yankee Candle. We usually include one at gifting time. -- nm - Diva Apr 27, 11:33 2
  - I'm leaning towards cookie and food smells these days. I'm thinking Yankee Candle's scents aren't as strong as they use to be - Epiphany Apr 27, 11:36 1
