Italy is a great place to vacation......the beaches in northern Italy are almost unmatched, IMO.

My Husband spent 6 weeks doing an international course in Strausbourg (sp?) in '05.. I would have gone except for these two little people who keep following me around calling me, "Mom"!
But the next time, it will be both of us, and he won't have hundreds of pages to read every night!

Re: BYOB
Sam's Club does not bag your purchases for you. Save-a-lot used to do it that way, but they now bag the groceries.

and dont even think about recycling them. 1 ton of the stuff costs $4000 to process and can then be resold for about 32 bucks.

I agree. I'm not a tree hugger, but I do think we should be responsible, and all those wasted plastic bags--which don't break down like other waste--seems very irresponsible.

Well, if I can ever figure out how to stop our family from producing about 10 bags of garbage per week, then I guess I will have arrived in TreeHuggerVille.
