Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I also couldn't just throw away something that could be recycled
That's been a guilt while I go through the house. I get a lot of stuff into the bin, but then that bin fills up and I want to get rid of more stuff. Recycling pickup is every two weeks, and I don't want to lose momentum. I console myself with knowing I'm not going to singlehandedly bring down the environment with my few boxes and bottles.
Dang, aurelia. That is a lot of bins.
There is a moth problem at work (which is a HUGE problem for the costume department) and it seems they are breeding in some of the cardboard, so we are in the process of getting rid of all the cardboard. I spent $2000 on various plastic bins which has taken care of maybe 75% of one of our storage areas. It going to take a while to get to all of it.
Ugh. I have moths in my house. They are a beast to get rid of. I think they're gone and then I find more.
My birth word is "guilt trip". Discuss.
That's hilarious, Vortex

Right there with you.
Ha, Vortex. Mine is punkster.
Also, I am in Houston again.
I am a horrible mother. I dared to meet Mac's flight with frozen yogurt. You know like the worst thing ever.
I suppose my alternate suggestion of a chore list and dustcloth wouldn't be met with much enthusiasm?
Also, I am in Houston again.
Yay for safe arrivals!
Here's a bit of news from the world of Aussie politics. Our House of Reps has a Speaker, as does the U.S. House; unlike the U.S. system, though, this role is separated from the role of leading the majority party (that being the Prime Minister, who is also Head of Government). The Speaker is supposed to be an impartial enforcer of the rules of House debate and such like. (They will still generally come from the majority party.)
For the last couple of years, our Speaker has been Bronwyn Bishop, a hardline conservative. She was massively partisan in the role, ejecting 393 Labor Party MPs from the House during her tenure but only 7 government MPs.
She was forced to resign a week ago in a scandal over travel expenses. The Liberal Party has just announced her replacement: the new Speaker of the House is Tony Smith, member for Casey. [link]
