10 year old computer, wow, what an antique!!

I just cannot believe how technology is advancing. My two year old LifeDrive (Palm computer) is out of date.

We spend so much money on all of this, but I guess we cannot take it with us. What a "throw-away" society we live in. When I was growing up, we washed zip-loc bags.

I reuse them when I can. I also save and use the shopping bags from groceries stores. How pathetic am I? LOL

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I always feel like a weirdo when I save those bags, but I just can't stand to waste them!

Depending on what goes into the Zip-Loc I reuse them also. So many times it just seems silly to throw them out.

I re-use the grocery baggies too. I cramb them in a corner of the pantry and pop them out as needed. Now, my Mom....sheesh! she folds each plastic baggy nicely and places them in an empty Kleenex tissue box and pops them out as needed. That's just way too much work for me. LOL

What was this thread about again? Oh yes! Avatars...LOL Still don't have a clue about all that.
