I went to the bank to deposit the money I made from selling things over the weekend. Decided as long as I had the car out to do a little grocery shopping, but somewhere along the way I lost my shopping list. Tried to remember what was on it. When I got home I remembered I had forgotten 2 things - peanut butter and gardening gloves. Took a large bag of empty prescription bottles to the pharmacy for disposal. This is the first time they balked at accepting them. I reminded them that they had always taken them for confidential disposal before an asked if they had changed their policy. All the clerk said was, "We'll do it this time, but from now on, just throw them out with your garbage." Well, maybe I don't want to do that.

Does anyone else on the forum that takes prescription medicines take the empty bottles to the pharmacy?
 

They were all outside without masks. ( Some places require masks others don't, I dont know when and where so I carry 2 with me ) Columbia is having some new covid problems. I took it off though when strolling around. $3.40 for a small decaf! Not like those good ol days you described. :)

That is the first time I have heard about pharmacy disposal of empty pill bottles. For about 12 years I have just thrown them away. I wonder if it has anything to do with people finding the empty bottle and getting your info to use....?

all our pharmacies will take empty pill bottles, 1/2 used or even full ones if they're no longer needed and dispose of them safely themselves
 
Today.. I've scraped all the old paint from the outside stone windows , sanded them down, and I'm going to repaint them later this evening or tomorrow..

Spent an hour ringing around for an emergency dentist for o/h , but everyone is full up for at least 3 weeks , not even seeing emergency patients..( this country is becoming scary)... finally found one who will see him tomorrow but it will cost around £500 for consultation and repair a cracked tooth

Cleared out my spice cupboards and re-arranged all that .it looks much better..

Deep conditioned my hair, and I'm sitting here now with it all on my head.. just about to go and jump in the shower before my DD calls with an update later on my favourite grandfurbabies' progress, after his illness....and find out if after a month this poor boy who lives for his toys and hasn't been allowed to have any for 4 weeks can finally get them again after today 🤞

Tonight for Dinner, I'm going to have Mac& Cheese, with Crayfish & Lobster tails

Really, really hard work.....
It involves a spoon and a tub of ice cream. :)

Well, after the severe strain of yesterday, I decided to just use one hand at a time, doing alternate shifts emptying the contents of a punnet of grapes down my eager mouth, I've just finished the last grape.....I knew I should have got two punnets. :)
 
My fairly old Stihl backpack leaf blower hasn't been running right for the past month. I tried all the routine stuff, filters, sparkplug, etc., with no improvement. So, I ordered a new carburetor from EBAY...$20. It arrived yesterday, and I put it on today. Success! The blower started up on the 3rd pull, and after a couple of minor adjustments, it's running like new. The local dealer price for a new part is almost $90.

I thought about rebuilding the carb, but with my ancient old hands, I would have probably dropped/lost half of the tiny parts involved.
 
For six years, I've been living with an enormous crystal chandelier in my dining room, which looks like it belongs in the Tzar's palace in 19th century Russia. This is a small alcove, nothing fancy in it, and I frequently use the dining room table as a work area. (Taxes, general paper work, jigsaw puzzles, etc.) I hated that chandelier with a passion, and finally, when the electric switch on the wall died a few weeks ago, I decided the time had come to do somethng about it.

So I bought a nice little, simple hanging fixture online, and today, the electrician came, replaced the wall switch, and hallelujah, the crystal monstrosity is now sitting out on my enclosed porch. I love the new look!

But as yet, I have no idea what to do with the old one. I'd gladly give it away. But I don't know too many Russian tzars.

Nope, I just peal of the label tear it into tiny pieces and chuck the bottles, BUT Deb you could sell the bottles for a dime a piece because people do use them to hold screws and such. @debodun

why so bad?..what happened ?

They wanted to see the inside of the shed, cause you know, the inside of sheds differ from shed to shed 😂. Actually they wanted to see if there was anything in the shed that they wanted, but we had already given away shed stuff. But they wanted a shelving unit nope. And my outside statues from my memorial garden, nope.

They wanted the dog house, decided they didn’t, and demanded we get rid of it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ After they left, put it curbside, gone in 20 minutes. They wanted to complain about how they were running out of money. I could not care less. I do not have money to run out of. Also said they forgot about the hole in one window and how they needed to replace it.

Since that window is under the carport, it doesn’t need to be replaced. We have cats that said, it might shatter. What? Complained about the carpet, then don’t buy the house. And on and on and on they droned. Shut up folks, just shut up. I was biting my tongue and cheeks.

And we went through the garden discussing what was planted. Then 5 plants I planted appeared dead but I don’t know if they are dead, it could be their life cycle. I told her if they don’t come back in the spring to take them back to Lowe’s. I kept the tags on them.

Then I hear my stupid husband saying some stuff that opened a can of worms cause he could not keep his big mouth shut and I specifically told him not to talk about a repair we did, cause it’s repaired. And he embellished the story, cause that’s what he does. ☹️ Anyway, he even showed pictures that he kept on his phone so the whole deal could be off with only two more days till it closes.

These are just the highlights. As if I don’t have enough issues, I have to deal with these people, and my stupid husband, and my crappy life. 🤮. Oh, and she’s like well, we can call you later if we have questions. No, NO, NOOO, you can not, you idiot. And I disliked their realtor. And she was right in my face-ever hear of COVID-19? And they brought a fake service dog. OMGOSH-kill me now.

Deep breathes Aneeda, deep breathes.

Taking it easy this morning, waiting for the a/c to be turned back on. Even though it was off all of yesterday, it wasn't too uncomfortable for sleeping last night.

Earlier, there was a huge racket on our balcony, so I peeked out, and saw ... a huge red hawk with wings spread out, feathers flying everywhere. It was after a pigeon who looked a bit stunned, but it flew away. Since then, it has been very quiet. It's the first time we've ever seen a hawk around here.

edit: spoke too soon. I just looked out and saw about 8 pigeons on the balcony rail. Hubby shooed them away. Guess they didn't learn their lesson.
