Stores in the USA do not use paper bags any more. It's plastic.

Plastic Plastic Plastic and more Plastic.

As I sit here looking out my window, I can see the largest tree on my property.
It's a large oak tree. Nothing attractive about it. The squirrels seem to really
like it and there is some large openings in it further up the tree.

Some times when at my desk, as I am now, I am almost entranced when I
look out the window at the old oak tree. I guess the word 'wonder' would be
more appropriate. How long has that tree been there? How long did it take
to grow? Did someone plant it?

When I look at that tree, I know it is hundreds of years old. Maybe over a
thousand years old.

IF that tree was to fall, was to be destroyed, could another tree really take
it's place? NO, it never could. You could plant a fast growing pine but it
would not be an oak tree. If you plant another oak tree like it, another
hundreds if not thousands of years before it grew up big and strong like it's
predecessor.

Where I sit was once a tree. Now it is a house.

No matter what anyone says, our forestry is and has been depleting and has
been for many years.

Oh I really like TracFone and have never had issues with them at all.

I don't think phone calls have anything to do with the phone. It of course may have something to
do with the phone number but that can happen with any service.

I was on Verizon for many years and paid a monthly fee and I received unknown calls from time to
time not to mention wrong numbers.

For me, I know everyone that is going to call me and have them in my contacts. For example if I
get a call from Bob, it is going to display 'Bob calling' and I answer it. If it doesn't display who it
is, I don't answer it.

A cell phone is not extremely important to me. Most my calls come in on my landline. I do really
like TracPhone due to the reasons I stated. Rarely do I ever need to buy more minutes. 1200 minutes
a year is usually enough and by the time the next year rolls around, I simply buy a new phone with
the triple minutes included again.

I am not one to yak yak on a phone. My conversation goes something like this:

Hello
Yes
I will be there at 9.00
Bye

or

Hello
Yes I saw it
Bye

or

Hello
Are you going?
Me too.
Bye

A long phone conversation for me is 2 minutes.

You are hilarious and that was a good one.

Read the Update about it then maybe you will understand that ClixSense is NOT the only site
that no longer has PayPal.

I'm glad you are feeling better. Nothing worse than being sick.

This year I did take the flu shot. I probably wouldn't have except I was in the hospital with
that gallbladder surgery and they kept pressing I take it so I did. Maybe my taking it was a
good thing because shortly thereafter, everyone around here seemed to have the flu....schools
were even closed for a few days but I never got sick at all.

I worked in health care for many years and I rarely if ever got sick from anything. I equated
that to being immune to sickness since I was around sick people daily.

What did you say your husband does? I think you said some kind of work he does that takes
you from your main country to the UK.

Two unknown numbers which I ignore keep calling me, I think they got the message as they've now stopped and I forget the site names but there are some pretty useful sites to check if it's E.T calling or not.

I have no idea what a tracfone is.

A TracFone is a brand/company that sells mobile phone minutes and also makes cell phones
and works with cell phone maker companies to produce phones for them.

The phone I have is a Samsung made cell phone with an Android operating system that works
in conjunction with TracFone.

Often there will be TracFone's you can buy that will offer a special deal such as double or triple
minutes for life of the phone. This means if you were to buy 50 minutes, you would actually
get 100 minutes if you have the double minute offer.

I always buy the triple minute offer phones.

I have a landline and home most the time and make and receive most my calls this way.

I no longer need a contract phone so for the past several years, I have gone the no contract
way using TracFone's.

My recent purchase is a Samsung Galaxy Luna. It came with 1200 minutes, 1200 text, and
1200 data. Included is the charger and car charger in addition to the skin/case. I can purchase
minutes any time I want and will receive triple the amount. After one year from activation I
will need to reactivate the phone by making a purchase of minutes and/or another year of
service minutes.

I paid $99 and you see, I probably won't even use all the 1200 minutes/text/data in a year.
It's a smart phone, wifi enabled.

When the year is up, I might continue to use it and buy more minutes. Most probable, I will
just buy a newer TracFone at that time.

So I buy a new tracfone a couple of days ago and received it yesterday. Not even finished
going through everything and I have more phone calls from unknowns than knowns.

FYI I usually purchase a new tracfone every year or two.

It's a Samsung phone, Android and it's just funny that I got to thinking about the calls
from outer space....

In the good old days of rotary land line phones, when there was no answering machines,
it was truly wonderful. If it was a wrong number, they either hung up the phone or said
sorry, dialed the wrong number. If you weren't home when you got the wrong number,
you never knew it anyway.

Now what happens when you get a wrong number? Yeah, you go online and you do a
search for the number to see if there is a martian from outer space calling you or worse,
an unknown from no where.

The only tip is to view the ads daily and you might win a cash prize.

I chose left sock because right sock wasn't in the listtttttttt.....WaaaaaaaBoooHooooieeeee

If one is cut down, two should be planted in it's place. That does happen but not enough.

It also takes many tress a long time to grow.

Speaking in the USA, wood is not used as often as it once was. It is still used a lot and
lumber is very expensive. However, other materials are often used instead such as
plastics, formica's, ceramics, pressed wood/chipboard, metals, etc.

When it comes to building houses, lumber is still very much in demand.

There has got to be a lot said for Neanderthals. They lived in caves, stayed warm in the
winter and cool in the summer without heat/air conditioning.

I strongly suggest USA members simply use the check option. Like I have stated and displayed
in the Payment Option sub forum, if you don't have a bank account you can get that blue card
thru american express and walmart.....no credit check and its free.

You know if you want to use money online, once you have the funds in your bank account, you
can always go into your PayPal and transfer funds from your bank account to your PayPal...OR
use a debit/credit card. Just saying.

Yeah if you have that big of a problem and can't get rid of them, the best thing to do is call
an exterminator if you don't have one already.

They can drill into the foundation and spray.

In the USA, you pretty much have to have a termite contract before you can sell a house.
Not necessarily a contract but evidence that you have had your home sprayed for termites
and that you don't have termites.

I'll never forget many years ago I was renting a little old dumpy apartment. I was sitting in
a chair in the living room watching tv. I had a can of coke sitting on the floor. I reached down
to get my coke and brought up a can and hand full of tiny ants. I am shxx myself. I got up
and the ants had marched like in a band, all gathered in a row, from under the kitchens sink
and into the living room to my coke. I'll never forget that and so amazed by how they can
detect a food/drink source so quickly.

My problems is WASPS! In the summer time, they are abundant here. I've got 5 cans of
RAID wasp spray to start out the Spring season and I actually had 6.....already used one.

I came across a really really good wasp collector hanging contraption on walmart. All the
review were good but I had my doubts because I already have a couple similar. Well I want
you to know that thing is full of wasps and I only hung it up two days ago. I put some
apple juice in it and a few sugar cubes.

Not sure why you would choose it. I am sure some people in the USA that has their own reasons
might choose it, such as administrators that offer it as a payment option. However, I doubt many
USA people use it.

Just guessing but if you are going to continue to use it, I would suggest waiting til you have a
larger sum to transfer. You can review their information but usually it is a lot less overall to
transfer out larger amounts other than small amounts.

Yeah, I recon you are not trying enough of them.

You need to use an indoor outdoor insect killer.

I use the Ortho Home Defense. Spray the perimeter of your home. Inside your home,
spray the area in which they are coming in.

Ortho Home Defense will in fact kill them and prevent them from coming inside your home.

Also any time you see any hills of ants outside, spray it with the Ortho.

It is very very rare that I get any kind of a bug inside my house. When I do see one, it is dead.

give him a wallaby

I'm really not interested much in the UFC.

What I liked to watch was boxing. The good old days when Ali was boxing.
