Hi Mark. Yes, there's a nationwide company that does it. It's more expensive but it means that we don't have to 'recycle' (ha! our local recycling is awful) plastic containers.

Back to ice hockey:
I see Tampa Bay Lighting (A team I always went to support when I lived in St Petersburg) has won the Stanley Cup!

Not 2 metres from me lies my Tampa Bay Lightning puck. Yeah, I like to keep odd stuff around.

A year ago today I was to start chemo, 3 hour sessions every 3 weeks. Thankfully, even though I was a smoker at the time, my oncologist had a blood biopsy performed and it showed the cancer was caused by cell mutations.
A once a day pill has been keeping everything stable with, so far, no progression.
I hope to stay #1 around here for some time to come.

So, what do you think was Deutsche Post's problem with it, Jim?

I don't think Deutsche Post had any problem with the package. They just complied with what they thought the United States Postal Service wanted.

Good to hear that the wonder drug is still doing its thing.

In my early school days, 1950s, we got little bottles of milk every day, cost 2 cents each.
Whole milk of course. In 2010 Congress created the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA), which changed nutritional standards in school lunches, prohibited schools from serving whole and 2 percent unflavored and 1 percent and 2 percent flavored milks.

Scones bring their own confusions: here we are in a county where cream is applied to the scone and jam atop the cream. In the neighbouring county they apply jam to the scone and then shovel the cream on last. Families have been torn asunder by arguments over the correct order.

The Scots, of course, do it quite differently and use butter. Good salted butter, then jam if ye like that kinna thing, but we also like cheese scones served warm and there’s nae place for jam there.

I vote for butter...just butter
