I think ALL outdoor ice should be bright dayglo orange so you can see it and not fall on your ass taking out the trash.
Sounds like the voice of experience! OUCH!

You can also make "plarn" out of plastic bags and knit or crochet door mats or camping mats. Some people make mats for homeless people to sleep on. Here in Montreal we are asked not to do that. The people who work with the homeless want them to come to the shelters, especially in winter.
I could do that, but then I would have to remember to look in that folder.
My vent? "Uptalk" If you are making a declarative statement, say it like you believe it.

Yes, my internal editor DID want to remove the space between the "S" and the rest of the word "Sometimes.
taxy, I hear it all the time when watching some local TV programming. It seems to be an affectation prevalent among young (and sometimes not so young), highly educated speakers. It gives me the impression they really don't believe in what they are saying. Not a good quality when you are a professional trying to make a point. On the other hand, it probably should be the required speaking style of most things politicians say. After all, they can't seriously believe all the stuff they shovel at us, can they? It doesn't annoy me as much in a social setting unless it's coming out of our son's mouth. I remind him when he tells me something he danged well better sound like he believes what he says.That's interesting. I haven't really noticed any excessive usage of it myself. I had never heard a name for it. I think it is perfectly reasonable in a social setting to use uptalk to indicate that an answer to a question is a guess.

Must be the font you have as default or something with your display. It looks fine to me. That's why I was baffled. I had looked at the link and couldn't find the S followed by a space....
As far as your "???". If you click on the Smithsonian article I linked to, the first word "Sometimes" has a space between the first "S" and the rest of the word. I think I was born with a blue pencil in my hand.
To save your sanity and your wallet, tell him (and your wife on the side) that after looking at your finances, you both have decided to not continue with the project. Wait a month or two, then hire someone who you feel can do the work properly and to your liking. By then your finances should improve. And he should be busy on another project.
I prefer the plastic bags. They are so much easier to carry than paper bags (think canned goods).
I also tie the tops before transporting the groceries. That way I don't end up chasing my groceries around the trunk. I just cut the knots off when I'm putting groceries away and just ball them all up and put in the trash. I don't feel they are strong enough to be used again safely.
When shopping at Sav-a-Lot where bags aren't supplied, I often forget to bring my own bags, but large plastic bags are available at the cash register, and only cost 10¢ each. It only cost me 50¢ or less, and they are strong enough to be reused. I figure paying for the bags is my punishment for not remembering to bring my own bags.
When I first came to America and would talk to people they would ask if it was true that in Soviet Union people had Cary grocery bags at all times. I said it then that the bag waiting is going to have stop at some points. Well, we are almost there. In a few more years nobody will use plastic or paper bags. Unless pay for it and I'm afraid they will not be 10 cents only, but much more expensive.

You said a mouthful Addie. Plastic doesn't biodegrade, it does break down into smaller and smaller pieces.Are you saying I am going to have to buy plastic bags for my household trash baskets?
Every since the big green bags became popular for the outside trash cans, a lot of city and towns now require that all your trash be in them. No more cans to be emptied. Just pick up the big green bag and toss it onto the truck. Plastic is here to stay folks.

I would imagine that when a city decides to ban plastic bags, concerned citizens should be able to convince them that they have to update their rules about garbage collection to allow for emptying of garbage cans with no plastic bags. They could make it sound really stupid to ban plastic bags at the same time as requiring them.
When I was a kid we used the brown grocery bags for the garbage and hauled it outside to a garbage can. I have seen people use newspaper to line the indoor garbage can.
When I moved to Denmark in 1969, I was surprised that I either had to bring my own bag to the store or pay for a plastic bag. I don't think that ever changed in Denmark. Around here stores are supposed to charge for plastic bags and most do. Most of them sell reusable bags for ~$1. Some even sell reusable green bins.
That sandwich sounded delicious. I hope your appetite came back in time to enjoy it.I was having a nice quiet time trying to take a nap. Then I heard a really loud bang. I looked out in the hall. No one there. Then I heard even a louder bang. I looked out again and saw on the floor the number from the door of #211 and broken in half. Now I am getting nervous. The next thing there is a knock on my door. I open it and standing there are four cops. Was I all right? I told them I was nervous and shaken up. I don't know what happened, but they took the tenant out in cuffs. My apartment is in an alcove. And it is #213. #211 is a bit to close for comfort if he is going to be a constant trouble maker. I don't even know who lives there or when they even moved in.
I made a corned beef for sandwiches. It was a small one. I was looking so forward to a nice Reuben sandwich with the Gulden's mustard, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. This has caused me to lose my appetite. I even had the dark pumpernickel bread for it. Maybe later it will come back.
