The Weirdly Wonderful Seneca Wallace Small Talk Chit Chat Talkin' Topics Thread

My sister in law’s fiancé has a brother in politics. He was on Clinton’s campaign (Bill) in some capacity and then a lobbyist. Two weeks ago I found out he had been contacted by party leaders about potentially running for governor.

Now that door is open. I should have placed a prediction.

[oldgoldy97]

Apparently someone won $400K predicting the head of a country would be displaced. I could have made at least $4K on a governor deciding not to run.

Sounds like $0.50 for not adding a second heart attack on to your first.

Not complaining about it. That is just the way it is.

They only have one person running the garbage truck right now. I feel bad because we had 2 extra bags this week. The kids deep cleaned their rooms this weekend. We were able to go through and get rid of stuff that wasnt able to be donated.

Do they toss the cans by hand? Our trucks have arms and always one person.

Hopefully the glaucoma treatment is helping.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen our trashman get out of the truck unless something happens with it being stuck on the arm. We just had our trash company change as the owner of the original one decided to retire and sell his business. I guess we got lucky with the association doing the contract because the new company states once a week trash and they still service our neighborhood twice a week.

How much trash do you have?? We have one bag a week usually. The recycling can/bin is pretty full but we could make it two weeks for that.

Yes, doofus has run its course.

Plus Majestik has pretty much stolen it from me.

[BostonNut]

One white kitchen bag per week. Take it to the transfer station myself. Recycling I bring every other week. Compost either goes to the chickens or in the compost bin.

[ssbledsoe]

1 bag a week?

Think our low is like 2 bags...definitely more when the weeks the cleaning lady comes

The truck has arms but they used to already have 2 people. She just got out, put the extra bags on top and used the arm still.

Do you recycle and compost?

That should eliminate most of it.

He's got it full of adult diapers, I don't think you can recycle them.

I thought the cleaning lady wiped and applied the baby powder.

[JosieD]

I am thinking about composting. We got 7 metal garden dividers in my moms yard. I am pretty excited to grow a bunch of stuff this summer.

[JosieD]

Got a couple of things done that Mr JD has been wanting to do for awhile. Hopefully this helps him feel less stressed.

He said it was $15.39. So for some reason 5 chicken tenders is more expensive than getting 5 chicken tenders, a biscuit, a medium drink, and a medium fry. She told him she no longer wanted it and drove off.

She really showed them!
