When Fed-Ex delivered my package today, I opened it up, to my dismay.... cardboard, paper, stuffing, galore, Styrofoam nuggets all over the floor! There was plastic bubble, and cellophane wrap, it took a broom to clear the trash! I dug around to look inside, the "Fort Knox" seal, was no surprise! A brand new game, it's time for fun, but where's the dad-gum garbage can? I need a battery to play my game, the one they sent is dead already! A quick time out, ......well that's a bother....a trip to Wal Mart to buy another! Stopped at Starbuck's along the way, tossed my cup...that's two, today I grocery shopped, while at the store, filled plastic bags, then out the door! Filled the trash....once more today, and back to Wal Mart...where I will pay for plastic bags to line the can.....cause we fill them up as fast as we can! I've heard going 'Green'...is the only way.....but UPS is on the way ! _______________________________________________________

and I'll bet the neighbors are "green" with envy. Well done Carrie, there is nothing funny about the problem but we do need to laugh at ourselves and our bizarre behaviors.
