Bring your own bags!

I go for paper! Yep, big brown bags. It's eco-friendly and cheaper.

My folks have this novelty plastic-bag holder that they keep by the garbage bin to use as liners and recycle the rest. Sometimes they use the fold-up cloth

bags that they got free with a $25 purchase at Dan's. I think it's all pretty silly but what do I know?

I don't do much shopping...but the checkers always put everything in plastic (sometimes doubled up) before I notice.

Right now I'm just worrying about whether I should get plastic-coated or 100% plastic cards. (All-plastic might be a little more $ but it's recyclable and washable.)

They still use plastic bags by default in Utah? Wow. Everywhere else I've been in the last 10 years has switched to paper by default, except at the self-checkout things and the little mom-and-pop shops.

Ya, I don't know what's going on here, Utah is so confusing/ed...

P.S. grr there it goes again.

divs can't go inside spans, right? Maybe phpbb's markup generator is automatically closing the span.postbody when the div.code starts. It doesn't do the same thing in blogview, maybe because the post is in a div.comment-text instead of a span...

P.P.S. my sister is listening to Supertramp right now. WTH.

divs should be allowed inside spans - the whole point to them is they are just 'generic block' and 'generic inline'. Why phpBB uses span for a block-level element like postbody is a mystery though.

Anyway, yeah, it looks like it closes the postbody span, opens the code div, then doesn't reopen the postbody span. It's also making some pretty invalid HTML on the blog side. Gah, I hate phpBB.

Okay, found the egregious error in the templates.

OK, now as something compleeeeatly unrelated: I think I just realized why ancient Greek had a "middle" voice along with the active/passive, e.g. when I wanted to express the vicious cycle of confusion that Utah generates I used -ing/ed.

Everyone in my family is learning a different language so stuff like this gets thrown around way too often...mes excuses...
#12579 10/31/2009 11:46 am
I think having the ability to form verbs that mean "confusing and confused" is of limited utility.
#12580 10/31/2009 11:49 am
Well ya. No one uses middle voice anymore. (except for those crazy Icelanders...CURSE YOU ICELAND!!)

edit: Um, pardon me again. I think all this '70s rock is starting to get to me. @~@
