November 16, International Day for Tolerance

A cold day in Indianapolis.

"Take the garbage to the curb day" in my house.

With collection day tomorrow?

Yup.

Mmm..so you have your trash picked up on Fridays? Ours is on Tuesdays.

How are they gonna go about next week, with the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend?

btw, I have a chute to throw mine down.

No....it's picked up on Monday.  We just leave the trash sitting on the curb for 4 days because of the aesthetics.  A big overflowing garbage can and recycling bin just screams "pretty".

They'll pick it up the following week.

I see.


We always put ours out the night before. Whenever there's a Monday holiday (or even a Tuesday holiday), our trash pickup is moved to the next day.

They'll pick it up the following week.
Double the load?

OF COURSE THE TRASH IS PICKED UP ON FRIDAY!! 

Double the load?



That's usually what they do when holidays fall during the ass-end of the week.

I've seen people put their trash out anyway; it'll just sit there.

Do you have any white goods.. maybe a tumble dryer or an old refridgeration unit, I find they add to the neighborhood. Oh by the way, thanks for the spare tyre from that Nova, it smelt great when it burnt and the smoke was as black as could be.

No, but I know someone who has an old dryer unit.  I'll ask if we can put it in the yard. 


And no problem re: the tire (you crazy Brits!).  Anything to help out a friend.

Ready food for the critters?

We don't have that problem up where I am.  The garbage cans provided to us when we move into the neighborhood are large, blue plastic monstrosities....not little dinky metal ones.

If it rains and your wheelie-bin is carried down the street, will Ken Livingstone charge you a congestion fee?

Every Friday and Monday,I think. ???

I've never heard of an area having trash pick-up that close together.  Usually it's just once a week.  I rather like it on Fridays because you have the whole week's trash to take out. 

It's not the same everywhere.  Here, the trash is picked up on Fridays.  I rather like it because you have the whole week's trash to take out. 


How much garbage do you get in one day? ???

November 17: International Students' Day

I've never heard of an area having trash pick-up that close together.  Usually it's just once a week.   I rather like it on Fridays because you have the whole week's trash to take out. 


But you have a weeks rubbish to take out what ever day it's collected if its collected weekly  ???

I know that.  However Friday comes at the end of the week, so to me it's not as strange as if trash was picked up on Wednesday, or something.

don't move here then.  Mine is collected fortnightly on Thursdays.  The other Thursday is when we put out the recycling stuff and on alternate Tuesdays the garden bin is emptied

In Slovakia November 17 is Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day commemorating the beginning of the Velvet Revolution in 1989.

You know, when they shoot protected birds to allow a world record attempt take place. ::)

Take 2 aspirins and call me in the morning

Has it been a year since that happened?


Thereabout. "Domino Day" has become an annual event and there has been a succesful attempt to break the world record just today. :)

The current record stands at some 4,079,000 dominoes. :o

November 18: Dedication of the Basilicas of Saints Peter and Paul.

We get it picked up Thursday mornings. I don't like it, because taking out the trash revolves around us going to our dad's house.

Saturday

Almost 30 minutes until my best friend's birthday.

My best friend Marie's birthday!  :)

November 20: Teacher's Day in Vietnam.

the day we got our first official snow of the season.  It was just a light dusting (enough to require using the automobile ice scraper this morning), but now it's all melted off the grass.

Monday

The day DJ got robbed.

DJ? what's that? ???

Uhhhh, Derek Jeter?

The day DJ got robbed.


Getting robbed, would be Ortiz winning it, Morneau had a great year.. on an avaerage team.

I posted this on my blog, but the only Twin I would have been alright with winning was Mauer.  Morneau isn't even in the Top 3 on his own team, hence why I think DJ got robbed.  And had Ortiz won it....well.......I wouldn't be here right now.

Uhhhh, Derek Jeter?

Derek Jeter. Oh yes.

Derek had a great year himself too.

All i can say is i'm happy for whoever wins it. :-\\

Top 3 what?  Batting average?  He still led the team in HRs and RBI, that's pretty good methinks.  I'm glad Ortiz didn't win though, the DH is the suxxorz.

I was talking about Top 3 most valuable players on his team.  I think Mauer and Santana rank higher than him.

Mauer had the batting average but the HR and run production department were clearly decided by Morneau, Torii Hunter and Cuddyer.  I think that point isn't too relevant though considering that Ichiro won MVP in his rookie season just because he got on a base a lot.  Mauer and Morneau's OPS were essentially the same as well.

Hard to argue.  Not to mention that Santana got the Cy Young award and voters frown on giving the MVP to a pitcher even if they deserve it.  Jeter was an excellent player and got on base a lot, but I think Morneau's numbers overshadowed that.

*shrug*

Nah, Mauer would be third if I were the Twins boss.

She has a point though, Morneau might not have as many RBIs and chances if Mauer didn't get on base as he did.  It's the little things that count eh ;)

If Ortiz had gotten those numbers AND played first base, he'd have been a shoo-in for me.

My mom does the turkey the day of Thanksgiving.  We cook the stuffing, make some of the desserts and do some other prepwork tonight.

That's what I'm doing. I made the pies already, now I just need to get my deviled eggs done, prep my stuffing stuff (;D), and make up a platter of cheese and salami (crackers will go on there tomorrow).

I'm debating on whether I should make the pumpkin cheesecake tonight or tomorrow.
