I own my house, so does Ed, so does Jill, so does Sheldon, so does Cindy,
so does Janet and on and on and on. We are self-sustaining and don't have
to turn our homes into boarding houses. Are you jealous of us? You should
be.

Not quite sure here yet. I do have white beans with diced pork cooked in
them leftover from yesterday. But I do have 5 boiled eggs waiting on me
to get my butt in the kitchen and make a bowl of egg salad.

I'll have to check out the local Chinese buffet scene. I saw a lady that had eaten at a place called "Maple Garden" yesterday. She said it was good. She ought to know - she's an actual Chinese lady. The joint is kind of a dump so it could be kind of risky but it could be rewarding. When she said "hot and sour soup" I knew I had to go there. :)

Heating up a frozen burrito and adding tomato sauce and probably pre-shredded
cheese is just what it is. Heating up a commercially prepared burrito to
make it palpable; it's junk food. Heating up a Lean Cuisine frozen meal is
not cooking either, nor is a frozen pot pie.

This is what it looks like here on garbage day (although this isn't where
I live):
 
<https://thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov/179/Recycling-and-Solid-Waste>
 
1 recycle bin (with paper, plastic, glass, and metal), 1 garbage bin,
and optional yard waste, which can also be put out bundled and tied
with string.
 
We have a detached garage that sits farther from the road than the house,
and slightly offset. We keep our bins in front of it.

Sounds good:))
 
We have smaller bins indoors which D empties into bin bags and as I
have said, take them to the recycle centre:)
 
It works for us:))

Is it less work this way or more esthetically pleasing or is this

The bins are picked up on different days and sometimes on different
weeks! I don't know and don't want to.
 
The recycle centre has different bins. Some for everything and some for
ie plastic bottles, batteries, wood etc. It is easy to pop around those when
it suits me :)

Yes, they should keep it simple.

That's a good thing, Terry! When I was a kid I always looked forward to
getting books for my birthday or Christmas. I learned how to read at a
very young age and still love books. :)

My copies were printed in 1973. Certainly not originals but they
are old and yellowed.

I treat my grandchildren to books at any time. I don't consider them as
luxuries but necessities.

My brother and sister-in-law are home schooling their two boys and they've
really encouraged them to read. Thankfully, both have shown a love of books
although the youngest one was a bit of a challenge. He didn't see the need
for it as he has YouTube and really had a tantrum. My brother pretty much
told him when he gets through pissing and moaning to get over here and we're
going to read this book and he might as well accept it. Of course they are
just children's books but he read 2 or 3 per week now.

we don't have to fill the bins in order to put them at the curb. Trash
and compostable are picked up weekly. Recycle stuff every other week.
We get charged by the month whether we use them or not. Sometimes we
take stuff to the landfill if we have too much or too large to fit
into a bin. Like major tree trimmings and branches. If you call them
they will come a pick up wash machines, TVs, sofas, refrigerators etc.

Here if you place those out at the road with a sign that says FREE
they will be gone within the day... usually within the hour... I'm
often amazed at what trash is someone's treasure. Farm people are
very resourceful, they'll make three junked washing machines into one
that works. An old beaten up sofa is something to snooze on in the
barn.

We have 3: recyclables, garbage and organics. The latter are composted
by the city for sale and use in the city parks.
People complain about the extra weekly charges, particularly singles and
elderly who take several weeks to accumulate enough to bother about
putting out the bins. I'm both but I think the system is great.

Same here. But I opted several years ago for 64 gallon trash and 64 gallon
recyclable cans. My neighborhood is a bit over 100 years old so we have
alleys and the trash guys have to roll our bins up to the truck and hook
them on the back. Then they are hoisted into the air and dumped. Out in
suburbs it's just one guy in the truck and the arm reaches out and picks
up the bin and empties it.
 
Makes you wonder how much two people can have in garbage each week the way
she writes about "having a bunch of bins lined up waiting for the collectors
in the week."

Here, recycles are paper, cardboard (any type), and plastic. NO Styrofoam

The recycle bin, here, is picked up once a month then it goes to a facility
where it is sorted there.
 
We do have a glass recycling facility but it is on the f-a-r side of town
and nobody wants to haul a carload of glass bottles there and I can't blame
them. I wouldn't want to either.

Our system is the same except that RC is collected weekly, garbage every
2 weeks and organics the same (but weekly for the latter during the
warmer months). I know I can put them out every week but I just don't
bother if there's little in them.
