Though we all choose or have chosen for us different paths in life we all end up the same. DEAD. Is your road bumpy or smooth?

    I know D. Which is why you have to be grateful for and appreciate what you have each day. There is no guarantee it will be there for you tomorrow. Gather thee rosebuds while thee may or something. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday to thee and thine! :) So far all things considered our path has been similarly relatively smooth. :)

    Didn't we have a conversation a few years ago about potable water D? Didn't you say that eventually we would be fighting one another not for oil or land but for water to survive? I have no idea what is coming at us. I mean Jim and I are in the high-risk group and with so many wingnut crackpots being out and about unmasked and ignoring social distancing we could still get the virus and die. I don't worry about it but I am aware it could happen. It would not be my choice to die that way. I'd rather just go to sleep and wake up on a different plane elsewhere. The superficial partisan political is gaining ground and gaining strength and the FASCIST RACIST nature of it cannot be ignored. Those are gun people which is even more frightening. When they are released from captivity they go to bars to drink and get drunk and probably are armed with loaded weapons. Put drunk and loaded guns together and then bring in a fanatic whose only purpose is to rile things up and create chaos division and stoke HATE and then what? I know that is a dark scenario I paint but ARMED protesters stormed the Michigan State Capitol to protest the lockdown in a very threatening way. The "leader" of the country tweets support at every juncture for the weaponized stormtroopers all of whom love him. It does not bode well for living things. SIGH. Thank you for your reply! When the explosion of weaponized dogs will begin I don't know. Soon though. They are salivating already. Licking their chops. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

    I'm afraid to say that when we get old and unable to care for ourself we all just become a burden to the state and only really their children care for them...
    Where China is building many huge dams in the north of China, they are already running short of water to drink and are having to import it...If the world population doubles in the next 50 years ...what then...

    In as many ten/20 years.you will no longer recognize your own country ....one thing ,polution and human waste and trash will have to be addressed and and find and invest in ways of clearing up the ness we've already made

    Here's something I'd like to know so of course I shall ask. In the Orient allegedly the elderly are respected honored and cherished for their wisdom. Do they care for their own at home or do they put them in old people's homes and let others care for them? In America the elderly are discardable expendable. To be ignored. UNLESS THEY ARE OBSCENELY WEALTHY. Then they are elected to high office where they can legally rape the citizenry and abscond with all the wealth. I wish I didn't see it that way but I do. Thank you for your reply D! :).

    In England Rosie we have to seperate or waste we throw away....we put plastic ,paper,and metal all in one clear bag...the council then takes it away to recycle it...Do you really believe that people open all the plastics see through Rubbish  bags and sort all differnt materials .....Domestic waste cannot get recycled...no men would stand all day separating every tiny peices of Rubbish...

    We have three barrels D. One is for green waste...yard clippings. One is for what can be recycled. The third one is for trash. Things that cannot be recycled. We were given a list of specifics because sometimes it's hard to know where something goes. I have tacked up inside a cupboard so when in doubt I just consult that list. Our "trash pickup day" is Thursdays. Now that recycle is separate from the bottles and cans on which we pay extra but when empty we take them to a recycle center and get a receipt for that amount which I use at the grocery store on the premises. Walmart specifically. We have bags in the garage that we separate. Drinks that come in cans, drinks that come in plastic bottles, and drinks that come in glass. Periodically Jim takes them to that recycle center and gets the receipt. So far it works out very well. Thank you for your reply! :)

    I can see how magnets can automatically pick out iron and steel.....things like copper,Brass and aluminium would need to be sorted by hand though...In England ...we put paper ,plastics and metals in the same bags.they are all tied up and all thrown in to a lorry  that  Crushes and compacts them....how do they seperate all the waste after that...?
