Disposables are pretty much my tip for surviving babyhood.

And her dad giving out yard sale leftovers?! WHAT! I'd be so insulted.

To be fair, she said she doesn't do that.

I was amazed by the number of commenters on her Santa post that said they noticed a disparity between rich kids' and poor kids' gifts from Santa when they were little. That never crossed my mind until I read the post yesterday. Maybe I was one of the "rich" kids.

Did you see the most recent Hoarders? H was HORRIFIED that Richard had all those beer cans that he emptied by stabbing holes in the cans, instead of drinking them. H was disgusted by that, not anything else. I mean, he doesn't get phased when they find a dead cat, but waste a beer and he has nightmares for weeks.

Min, I so wanted someone to tell him that his old cans of Budweiser were not going to pull in big money. I couldn't deal with his attitude either.

That episode was interesting because both people, Richard and Bob, were reluctant about the process. Both were being forced to clean up. And yes, Richard's bud light aluminum bottles aren't going to fetch him anything, aside from maybe 5 cents for recycling.
