Go figure???

While I see your point, having an interest in health care reform is not strictly political. Medical care as we know it is not possible without insurance or a boat load of money... Of course the idea that we are somehow entitiled to the highest level of care in the world is something else all together.

I've never understood why a people who believe that to die is gain spend so much time, effort and money fighting it.

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.

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.

Here's a recipe for you, Margie.

My son will JAM the trash all the way in the container, until I can't even get it out. I had to call him to come over the other day to help me pull it out. (he lives with his grandparents. AND he is 19) I did laugh about it, but I also told him if he ever did that again, I was going to horse whip him. I still do not know what he had thrown away to pack it so tightly and to make it so heavy.

That's what is going to really tick me off, if I have to sit on the floor pulling the bag out of the trash can.

But, horse whip sounds good. Naw, he'd probably like it.

I have actually caught Don with his boot clad foot acting as an amature trash compactor.
