Gotta agree with ya Henry, there is no reason we cannot have a national primary to sort out a condidate all in one day. 

The candidates would not have to raise/spend so much money, we would not have to endure months of political propaganda, and we might actually come up with good choices.

That's a really good idea. :yes:

Okay seriously I'm pissed!  Now it is bad enough that my garbage people only pick up recycling once every two weeks, but now I'm on 4 weeks worth and they still haven't picked it up!  Two weeks ago they changed my day from Monday to Tuesday.  I took everything out.  Garbage was picked up no problem.  I put the recycling back by the house so it wouldn't look like an eyesore to my neighbors who don't recycle.  I called to tell them and they said that they were about a 1/2 day behind and that they would pick it up that day.  Well that didn't help me since I was already at work and the recycling wasn't on the curb.  So this week I put it out once again on Tuesday - no pick up.  I left it there and called today.  The lady called the driver while I was on the phone and she said that he was going to pick it up today.  Guess what!  It is still out there!  I'm pissed!  I have one bin that is full and two bags that are full.  They are already closed or I would call again but I'll have to wait until tomorrow.  I might just have to threaten to go to another garbage company!   :mad:

You have a choice of garbage companies?

Our garbage man is somewhere in his 80's, and he is as strong as an ox. I tend to overfill my bags sometimes, and hubby can barely lift them, this old guy slings them over the side of his truck, like they're weightless.  :spooked: I wouldn't want to get on his bad side LOL!!! He's definitely not one of these.  :wheel:

Yes I live in the sticks.  We can pick from two or three companies.  They just bring you the big can with the name of the company on the side.  I don't live in a municipality.  I live in the county.

Okay now I've had it.  I called again today and the lady told me they would send someone out to get my two bags and one bin of recycling.  I get home today - IT IS STILL FREAKING HERE! Tomorrow's phone call will not be pretty!
