Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Old enough to remember that stuff.
Me too. Makes me proud to be a GOF!
And I reuse my plastic bags. For various things including packing instead of bubble wrap.
A grocery store that I shop at has never had paper or plastic bags. You go over to the pile and choose a cardboard produce box if you don’t have your own bags. The butcher wraps meat in brown paper and ties it with a string. Just like in the good old days. The ecco kids seem to embrace it.
Reel mowers are available at Home Depot. What goes around comes around.

I hated the 'Death' songs we got back then. There was a bunch of them but then happily they stopped coming out.
At the same time, a lot of kids like to pollute. People drink beer and wine in the park and leave their mess everywhere but in the garbage. Literally cases of empties are left behind. They come to a nice place but don’t have enough respect to care for it or have consideration for others. So eone else can pick up their mess, that must have been how it was done at home.
Some people survive by collecting refundables in parks and on the street on garbage collection days. Good for them.
Then there are smokers. Why do they think it’s ok to leave their buts on the sidewalk for someone else to pick up.

What are death songs? Do you mean Snoopy vs the Red Baron?
In the UK at least there were a plethora of songs that came out, such as the one above, where one or the other of a couple passed away due to one thing or another. It got really lame. 
And then there was Bloodrock's DOA:

There was the one about the dog that uped and then died, Mr. Bojangles. A sad song.
All the protest songs from Where Have All The Flowers Gone to Sky Pilot.
These songs referred to human deaths.
Dogs are people too.
Prior to this current "situation", I used to spend a lot of time driving and stopping at fast food places for lunch. I would sit at a table and watch those around me get up to leave. Almost without exception, the older folks would pick up their empty containers and deposit them in the appropriate places. The younger folk, not so much. Apparently they were entitled and felt there was always someone to pick up after them. The truly amazing ones ate in their vehicles, then threw what was left on the ground in the parking lot.

It is 1972 - the dawn of the "eco" movement - when I am learned about McDonald's use of paper at the dinner table. This was new infos to me as a teenager.
Just to rehash something if I may. The GOF Nurse, I can't find his post, who has caught C19 Dorothy and I have you in our thoughts and we are full of pride and gratitude for what you and your colleagues around the world do every single day.

Damn right!!
In the car of our elevator all the dogs we have owned in Canada are displayed with love.
Brandy a Keeshond was rescued from a coworker who was going to dump her on a highway.
Whiskey a Sheppard/Chow cross our youngest son brought home. He was so young we had to feed him with Pablum on a little finger. Brandy taught him all he needed to know.
Bailey a Sheppard/Husky cross rescued from a neighbour who didn't want her.
Finally Tia a Chihuahua. Bailey took her as her own puppy and the two were inseparable.
They were all wonderful animals full of love with no negative bones in their boddies. We both miss them terribly.

Death songs? I don't think Dicky Lee ever sang a song that someone didn't croak in.
Just stopped in to say: THE PORCH IS GONE!!!
They started about 9 this morning and the flooring is going in now for the new porch.
Footage at 11.
Gotta go, bye!
