The numbers marked on plastic containers indicate the type of resin that was used to produce the plastic. Click here ...
for a link to a handy chart by the American Chemistry Council that tells us what the numbers mean.
Most curbside recycling programs allow plastics with the numbers 1 and 2. By checking the number, you'll know if, how, and where to recycle these containers.
I've been feeling disappointed in the Democrat and Republican parties for a while now. I realized that the Democrats are too far left for my taste in many of their platforms....and the Republican Party is little bit too far right.
I don't like feeling disappointed and helpless.
So, I switched parties and am now a Libertarian. It feels right for me.
Just wondering if any of you have felt what I do and....if you have switched to a party that's a better fit for you.
I know politics is a volatile subject and I'm not asking about your political persuasions. Don't even tell me WHICH party you've switched to. I'm curious only to know if you've switched.
I found an interesting video today while reading the April 2009 issue of Better Homes and Gardens (and, yes, I will recycle the magazine!)
In Hillsborough County, Florida, we are allowed to combine our paper, plastic and glass in one container for recycling pickup. I always wondered who (or what) does the separating of these items.
Now we all know......
Fawn Ridge is an established, beautifully planned, deed-restricted community in Citrus Park, Florida, in northwest Hillsborough County. The entrance, with its gently curving drive and lush landscaping, is located off of Sheldon Road. The community is made up of approximately 700 homes, many that edge up to beautiful conservation areas. There are several ponds on the property (one with a gorgeous fountain) which lend a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for the many walkers, bikers, joggers, and rollerbladers.
Fawn Ridge is fortunate to have a County park in its midst with restrooms, a baseball field, a basketball court, and lighted tennis courts. The park is where the neighbors gather together for lots of community events.
Fawn Ridge is a great place to live and raise your family. The Veteran's Expressway, Pinellas County beaches, and Tampa International Airport are all convenient to Fawn Ridge. The upscale Westfield Citrus Park Mall is close by, as are many fine dining and fast food establishments. There are no CDD fees and the homeowners association fees are about $300 annually.

I was getting sick and tired of vaccuming and dusting every day. We have two Beagles and, man oh man, do we have a dog hair problem. I didn't know how bad the problem was until we replaced all of our carpeted areas with hardwood floors. The flooring is just beautiful but when the A/C kicks on, it's like a scene from an old Western movie with tumbleweeds rolling by.
I was in Petsmart buying dog food when I spotted it. The Furminator. Reduces shedding by 90% Ha! Yet another ploy to wrangle my money from my purse. But I believe in doing my part for this lousy economy, so I bought it.
I tried the Furminator on Cooper and....nothing. His hair is short and apparently his undercoat isn't "all that."
But I got hold of Baxter and did the fur ever fly! He loved being "Furminated" and I filled up a grocery sack with excess hair.
The Furminator is actually a cat de-shedding tool but it works on dogs too. It is a wonderful invention and I can highly recommend it.
But how can I tie this in to real estate? Hmmm.
I know, if you have a listing where pets are a part of the family, you might suggest the Furminator. It makes a huge difference in keeping a house neat and tidy. And it would make a great closing gift to your pet-lover clients!
Recently it's been taking longer and longer to dry a load of clothes in my electric dryer - which means I was spending more $$ for electricity than I needed or wanted to.
So I called a dryer vent cleaning service and, WOW, what a difference! I used a service called DeLintz but there are lots of people out there who can clean your dryer vent. I was charged $80 and was told that the vent was FILLED with lint. Not only was my stuffed vent costing me energy dollars, it was also a major fire hazard.
I was informed that the dryer vent should be cleaned once a year for maximum efficiency. I'm a believer!
Planet Green was launched in June 2008 but I only recently discovered it through Verizon cable. They have lots of informative shows and you can learn a lot about current green issues, new innovations, organic foods and cooking, and green homes and buildings.
Check with your cable provider to see if they offer it. Lots to learn!
