Is 20 pound for the weight like 30 pounds if a guy lifts?

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

[Monkey Face]

Yes, but only the French have figured out what that place is...on their plates...

[Tax-chick]

We have swamp slime. No slugs indoors at the moment, though.

I seem to recall something from county recycling about CFLs -- while they'd prefer you turn in dead ones at the recycling centers, it's okay to put them in the trash.

Whoa! What?

Lets say you throw out one CFL , that's 4mg. of mercury, crushed in the back of a garbage truck that drops it's load at a local landfill.

Let's say that you have one thousand neighbours who do the same thing. Now we have 4000mg, or 400g, or 40kg (is my math right?4 kg?) of mercury going into your landfill.Which leaches into the water table, and over a few years what have you got?

Glow in the dark children, that's what you've got.

Oh gag!

I can not stand slugs. Come to think of it I ain't fond of the french either. Think there is a connection?

[Monkey Face]

Probably. But I don’t want to think about it, too much.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No slugs are a good thing.

[Monkey Face]

Welp, since I’m still fighting nausea, I’m going to bed. Y’all be good, and I’ll see you tomorrow!

[Tax-chick]

Good night! Don’t let the slugs or flobberworms in!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Dinner time. Back later

[Tax-chick]

Yes, it is. We have spiders, but the guys pick them up in a cup and put them outdoors.

[Monkey Face]

Thanks! *hug*

(Flobberworms are um...flobbery. Ick.)

[fanfan]

Nite sweetie!

[fanfan]

Yes, it is. We have spiders, but the guys pick them up in a cup and put them outdoors.

Do you have wolf spiders?

ROTFLOL!!!!!!!

First off, the math is off. 4 mg/CFL x 1000 CFLs = 4 grams. You're now somewhere in the vicinity (sez memory) of one mercury thermometer, which we've been using since the dawn of time, um, the discovery of fire, um, the invention of tools, um, the bronze age, um, the iron age, um, the invention of the bagpipe, um, the discovery of that funny stuff good for plugging wind-holes, um, well, a long time ago, anyway.

And last I looked, my kids weren't glowing in the dark. (Kind of a shame, actually, because it would've made keeping track of them a lot easier at night.)

Oidhche mhath (good night), 'Face ('Face)!

[fanfan]

Well, OK.

But I still hate CFLs.

;-)

I should also include a link to the yeoman's work done by our very own jveritas.

[fanfan]

I missed that one.

What's it called?

[sionnsar]

De gustibus non dispundandum est!

(Though I'm not eating them! *\;-)

...the guys pick them up in a cup and put them outdoors.

I do that. My paternal grandfather did it, and I guess I picked it up from him. Except for the "bad" ones (black widow, brown recluse, &c), the spiders I find indoors get free transport out to the yard where they are set free.
