    [QUOTE]Special that one is awesome. I do not have any problem with people having ovulation things in their sigs. It used to be you could have different sigs for TK, TN, and TB. You can't now. If it's easier to update the sig than a link then so be it. I just skip over it. I also know that those that typically have those things in their sig are havving issues conceiving and it's not my place to tell them how to deal with it since, you know, I'm not in their shoes.

    Adamar, I'm with you.  It is a daily struggle with FI to get him to remember to recycle.  Our bin is right outside our apartment door.  Not 10 feet from the kitchen garbage.  Why not recycle?

    He says sometimes that its fine, b/c the bottle collectors go through ppls trash and extract the bottles and cans anyway, but they clearly only do that for something you paid a deposit for.  Things like food cans or newspaper don't provide a five cent recycling reward.

  • Adamar, I don't get why some people refuse to recycle. Around here, you get a bin from the trash company. All you have to do is haul it to the curb once a week. People act like it's torture.

    We have four bins. We only have to take our garbage can down every other week (though we do it more often in the summer). Most of our trash gets recycled or composted for the garden.

    Totally agreed. On that note, I don't get plastic water bottles. They're so wasteful. Get a nice reusable one. They hold up and keep your water colder longer.

  • I don't get complaining about TTC details... in the middle of a conversation about BC and cysts, etc.

    FWIW- the TTC stuff used to bug me, but its' all over the place on TB (obviously.)  I think it's kind of 'required' there on some boards, for people to take you seriously.  And like PPs said, you can't have separate sigs anymore. (Which is annoying all on it's own.)

    H refuses to do that and goes through a shiitton of water.  It drives me NUTS.  He's really weird about what he'll drink out of.

    I was just thinking of something in a similar vein.

    I don't get communities that don't have recycling pick up.  My cousin down in MD doesn't recycle, because they don't have curbside pick up.  It irks me.
