Full TV Episodes on Computer

Just researching this - seems this year, there are more available free, so the question becomes, are we at a point where we can stop buying recording devices, toss the old VCR, stop rushing home from yoga classes, and watch when we have time? YES!!! I certainly hope so -- and I don't really want to do the 'marathon' watching from Netflix, where there are 4 shows on 1 DVD, and I end up staying up too late, watching one after another! House, for instance, is on 8 days after initial broadcast...now I am setting up a little chart for myself with the web links, times/dates/fav shows - so I know if it will all work, and when to watch -- the trick will be to keep track of Episode names / numbers...which I don't need to do when I just rush home from Yoga on Monday nights for House at 8:00!!!

FREE TV Disposal / Recycle in Oregon

Just learned that we passed a law to have TV recycling FREE - call Metro for all recycling questions (503) 234-3000. Where you take them is by zip code. For me in Milwaukie, it is any Good Will nearby. This started in January - so hope you all get with it!!

Refreshed by a new weekly Portland ride!

Just re-discovered Brian, at Business OnABike....!! Excellent - they are doing an every Thursday at 3:30 ride, beginning at the Vera Statue!

What do you think about "Recycle Cycle" ?? I go pickup customer's styrofoam, and take it to the recycle place at Foster, that is RIGHT ON the Springwater Corridor!!

Plastics Gone Forever....

Did you know you can buy butter in bulk? The Earth Balance, which is made from vegetable oils, I do believe....so it's the dairy-free 'butter'...anyhow - save your yogurt containers!!

Plastics Away...

In my continual quest to reduce my use of plastics, so at least I can feel I am doing SOMETHING for this enormous planet problem:
Looked up the floating island of plastic in the ocean yesterday.
Found out about this wonderful woman: Roz Savage (www.rozsavage.com)
Realized I can buy cat food in bulk, because the cat food bags are lined with plastic.
Last week I froze my raspberries in glass jars for the first time (used to use ziplock bags)
I found out there is a home device that will suck the air out of the jars for freezing....
Realized this morning that I can probably get shampoo in bulk, so looking forward to that, when this bottle is empty - didn't really realize that I have been putting those onto the planet.

Does anyone know if there is a plastics recycling place in Portland?

Going back to work...

Job INTERVIEW next week!! No kidding! YIPPEE!!
