I'm a little bit greener than I used to be

[Oeditpus Rex]

Albertson's now has reusable canvas (polypropylene, actually) grocery bags, so I picked up a few. :)

1. Try Dramamine

Works well.

[Heidi]

2. Right on!

You'll be glad you did this, Oedi. :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Yup

It'll be cool bein' in the store and people lookin' at me like, "Goddamned hippie." :bounce:



But when I take 'em to the check-out, how are they gonna know I didn't just get 'em off the rack and cut off the tags? :shrug:

[Heidi]

5. Hahahahahaha!

I don't have that problem here, because my "green" grocery bags were bought in Key West and don't look like the most common reusable grocery bags here. :7

SAVE YOUR RECEIPT, ya dang hippie! :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Nah, I think I'll just wrinkle 'em up

Maybe pour ketchup on 'em and drag 'em through the dirt a couple times. :7

[SeattleGirl]

3. I told ya, you're da bomb!

Good on ya, friend! :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Well, it seemed like

the lib'rul thing to do. :patriot:

I think maybe I'll keep a couple in my truck for when I go to other stores, too.

[SeattleGirl]

8. I don't usually shop Albertson's, but I think I'll check one out to see

if I can get some of those bags.

Plus, I want to switch to those energy-saver lights.

Yikes, I'm REALLY becoming a liberal! :patriot:

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. CFLs?

Or, as I call 'em, swirlie cones? :D

One caveat: They're taller than incandescent lamps, so they may not fit in all your fixtures unless you get a lower wattage. And the ones that say they're the equivalent of a 60-watt incandescent lamp — I think they're more like a 40.

The 100s rock, but they're the ones that don't fit in everything.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Yup, them's the ones.

Thanks for the info. I'll check into them. I do have several fixtures where I know they'd work, 'specially the 100 watt ones and the 60 watt ones.

I agree: they look like swirlie cones! B-)

[Forkboy]

11. Whew...I was going to suggest seeing a doctor.

:)

[SeattleGirl]

12. That may still be a good idea!

:rofl:

(Sorry, Oedi. :hide: )

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Hey — no harm, no foul

That reminds me, too — I need to do a screencap of Graham Chapman turning over the sign so it says "He's Right You Know" in "The Audit" sketch in Episode 7. :7

You can see the sign in the upper right-hand corner of this pic. The side showing reads, "There's No Place for Sentiment in Big Business."







You'd think there'd be some way I could make a few bucks off all this stuff in my head, huh?

[SeattleGirl]

14. You'd think!

You'd be a brazilionaire! :rofl:

[Forkboy]

15. LMAO

You're gonna get it! :)

[SeattleGirl]

18. Who, moi?????

O8)

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. Don't argue with him!

If Forkboy thinks I should give it to you... well, who am I to say otherwise?

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

22. OMG!!!!

Bad boy!!!! :spank: :spank: :spank: :rofl:

[Forkboy]

24. You owe me!

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

25. You a bad boy too!!!!

:spank: :spank: :spank: :evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

26. That would be news from the Flamingly Obvious Bureau

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

27. Duh!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Nicole]

16. Good for you!

Every little bit helps. :toast:

I made some of these.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Now, that's *seriously* cool

To make 'em your own self. :patriot:

[Nicole]

23. And *seriously* cheap!

Plus it helps to keep my bags separate when shopping with friends & family. No more digging in the bags to figure out which is mine when we get home.

17. hubby has underwear made from polypropylene, do you intend to wear this shit...

when it gets cold as well to maximize your green-ness :shrug: :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. I just rubbed one of the bags against my arm

and it's surprisingly soft.

I'll let you know after I rub one against my bum. :D
