I've been thinking about this a lot in nursing school. Of course, quality of life matters. However, there comes a point, and I am not sure where that point is, that we should accept we are finite beings.

Re: Why I haven't been here very much lately...

Margie, My husband and I are having a kitchen trash war.

My habit - When the trash gets to the top of the container, I pull out the bag, set it on the floor, gather all the trash from the other containers around the house, dump them all in the kitchen bag, tie up the bag and put it in the trash receptacle outside. He then takes the trash can to the curb twice a week.

His habit - When the trash gets to the top of the bag, he continues to add more trash by pulling up the sides of the bag. There is no foundation around the remaining sides to insure it will stay up.

Now, I'm thinking that what is going to happen is that the trash is going to eventually fall on the floor and I will have to pick it up.

I asked him why he doesn't just take the bag out of the container. He said that's a dumb way to do it.

So, right now, the trash is full, with remaining sides of the bag up. I'm going to see what he does with the bag. Last night he added something else and said, "Look." He then pulled up the sides of the bag. Little jerk.

I've never waited so see what will happen, but the war is on- I'm leaving the bag to see what the end results will be.

Oh my... we have this exact same war! My hubby will actually pile the trash up the wall... under the guise of it being in the lifted bag. And when he does take out the trash it is ONLY the kitchen trash... I am the ONLY one who ever empties other waste baskets. What stinkers!

Am I right to assume that what he will probably do is pack the trash down further into the container making it harder for me to get it out? I know that's what he's going to do.

Re: Why I haven't been here very much lately...

Why is it called that?

Is it heaven as one eats it, then turns into hell after a point of no return?

I mean .... who spits out cake after they let it melt into their mouth?

It's probably like I feel with coffee. That first sip is sooooooo heavenly and when I am finished, I feel like hell.
