Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Damp and dreary on the Pond - good morning Perps.

Good Morning, Pond!
It’s a hang onto your hat kind of day today. Pretty sure we won’t be attempting to put plastic in the greenhouse. Sun is shining, though, so at least it looks pretty out there.

I'm breaking "Easter Break" rules and inviting my students to play a game via Google Hangouts. I think we can do Bingo if everyone has a deck of cards and they all deal out a 5x5 grid. Then I can call cards from my deck and if they have it, they can turn it over instead of using a marker.
We shall see how this works.

So this is new... DH went to Winco today & there was a frazzled lady coming out the store saying, “They won’t let me bring my bags in. They told me to throw them out.” Sure enough, DH gets up to the door & there’s an employee standing there telling everybody they’re not allowed to bring any outside bags in. He tells DH we have plenty of old plastic bags here you can use. DH told him he’s not paying 10cents a bag & the guy assured him they are free.

So, we spend years investing in canvas bags & training ourselves to bring those suckers into the store because plastic bags are outlawed. I spend time & money keeping them washed & stocked in both cars & now we can’t use them? Now we’re back to plastic?

For those of you who haven’t had to go through the long reprogramming process, this probably sounds like no big deal, but you don’t make 50 million people reinvent the wheel & then make them go back to how it was.

I‘m starting to lose my patience. If I, the Whatever Girl, is losing patience it means the rest of the dummies in this state are gonna start revolting soon. Maybe this is an isolated incident just at one store, but somehow I doubt it.

(Deb & Kathys, have you guys seen any signs of this yet?)

Well had more one person got upset with me over those bags .The problem isn't the plastic bag ,but the people that use them.I don't won't use cloth bags.They are made in china .plastic bags are made in the USA last time I checked .One lady got angry, because I was telling DW people who buy cloth bags are putting Americans out of work.Walmart has recycle bins for plastic bags.We have sorted abd recycled for ever.I search hard for Made in America.Pay twice as much .Get rewarded by things well made lasting three times as long.
