   Where I live most fire stations collect hazardous waste, don’t need to wait for a special day.

   I used to say the same thing when I was a kid.

   I have a reel mower, it is way easier to push around than a gas mower, and safer too.

   Must’ve been stolen a long time ago if it is on a CD.

   Chili has regional variants and purists for one type of chili sometimes think theirs is the “one true way.” I don’t stress too much about a purist approach and make it based on what I feel like and what ingredients I have on hand. I’ve made several variations some like what Lawrence says others maybe closer to what Heart’s mom made. I agree actual chili peppers is better than chili powder but depending on where you live your options may be limited. I do agree that pretty much any chili I’ve made requires a much longer cooking time, I usually either use a Dutch oven at low heat or a slow cooker (good for weeknights since you throw everything in before work and it is ready when you get home), I’ve heard of some people using a pressure cooker when they are pressed for time though.

   My kids love broccoli, and my son at least loves Brussels sprouts. Though the key with Brussels sprouts is to roast them, it’s pretty much a completely different vegetable than boiled Brussels sprouts (I can totally understand not liking those).

   I figure if music makes someone happy who am I to judge. To me Swift is fairly typical pop, nothing wrong with it and some catchy tunes but not something I’d be rushing to buy. But my kids don’t get the music I listen to either. It would be kind of boring if everyone liked the same music.

   If we so much as touch our vacuum, our cat runs and hides. Absolutely terrified of it. He’s a rescue cat so we always wonder what experience made him so afraid of them.

   Not if he shakes a martini. Not to mention an even number of olives, that’s bad luck.

    I learned from an old sociology prof to stand at the front of the elevator, turn around to face everyone else, and make eye contact. Possibly even strike up a conversation. Generally violate all the unspoken rules of elevator etiquette.
