word to the wise...I would like to share a personal experience with my closest friends about drinking and driving. Especially at this time of the year, the roadblocks come up with great regularity, As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the years.More Like This
A couple of nights ago, I had a few beers at Lawreys Bar in Laughlin after a nice dinner and wine at home. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before; I took a cab home.
Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise as I have never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage.
note: actually, i received this in an e-mail.pip
Being green - Recycling paperPaper is one of our most valuable resource. Mostly paper is used to print or write on, as books, magazines, manuals, or as packaging, like paper bags or boxes. You encounter it everywhere.More Like This
It can be recycle, but not endlessly. After a few times, the fibers - of which the paper is made - get too short.
So why not reuse it once more before it goes to the paper bin? Take a look at the following works and get inspired:

Being green - Recycling cassettesRemember the music tapes you used to listen to? And the video cassettes you watched?More Like This
Some of you might be even too young to remember those things called cassettes.
Fact is, there are less and less working cassette players and we remain with all those - now useless - music tapes and video cassettes.
Here are some ideas, how to turn them into new useful items:

Those are the things you need...
Apparently, if you're listening the manufacturers of electronic gadgets.
And all the old machines? They'll end on the nearest scrap yard. If we're lucky...
Or we recycle them, like the creators of the following pieces did with their electronic devices.
