And aren't those numbers about which recycling bin they should go in? What is a 5 inside a triangle if not a recycling code? The numbers indicate what kind of plastic the item is made of.

And to make things more fun, some cities/regions will separate the different plastics for you, and some won't. Also, some kinds of plastic are more cost-effective to recycle than others. A lot of U.S. "recyclables" used to get loaded up and sent to China, where the labor costs made it possible to make a profit on the hinkier kinds of plastic stuff. Now, of course, even that it isn't cost-effective. So a depressing percentage of U.S. plastic waste is being landfilled in Southeast Asia and Indonesia... Paper, metal, glass are still, I think, profitable. At least that much is being reused...

Goodness, between unusable military cell phones, "kiss off" songs and why recycling is mostly not happening, I am one cheerful lizard this week ;-)

I prefer reality in snack size portions.

I prefer reality in snack size portions. I prefer humans in snack sized portions. Unfortunately those are all the ones that say "not labeled for individual resale" on the wrapper.

What does everyone think of "planking"? I'm considering trying it for a minute-a-day for a week, just to see what the results might be. I gotta do something for my 'core'.

It can put a pretty good burn on your abs. It's isometric, rather than isotonic exercise, iirc, so you want to do something in addition that has some movement for those muscles on top of the isometric burn

I do a rare plank but it feels as if someone were driving a railroad spike into my right hip when I do it. It is a wonderful exercise for building up the core muscles. The railroad spike is proof that I need todo it more.

Careful! It sounds like you might be flirting with Sciatica.*

I've heard that one before, from my chiropractor. If someone could tell me HOW to be careful, I would.

How come I can never stay awake through an entire Paul Naschy flick?

I remember Naschy's name coming up a lot when I was introduced to the video grey market in the late '90s, but I'm not sure I've ever seen one of his. Actually probably one. He was the one with the recurring werewolf character as I recall, although I think the one I saw was not part of that series.

Yeah, the most recent one that prompted the inquiry was Werewolf and the Yeti (1975), which ought to have been entertainment gold, if only unintentionally. His flicks usually have all the Gothic elements I love, but I can never seem to keep my eyes open to the end.

I'm guessing that the real issue is the sucktitude of the movies.

Stupid Question:
I received a mini-CD from a postal contact, and I have no idea how to play it. Is there some sort of framework that you're supposed to put the CD in first to play it in a regular-sized CD-player?

If you don't have a CD player that is built to play 3" CDs you'll need one of these. The CD just snaps into the middle.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll be shopping in a bit. Will see if they carry those.

Good luck. As best I can tell they are no longer being manufactured.
