I recycle all the plastic bottles that can be recycled. Or repurpose or reuse. Recycle, repurpose, reuse. Actually thrown out is rare. Same with all my plastics. Just some cannot be recycled, and there are limits to repurposing and reusing.
You don’t have to go too far to find the Tooth Mouse. It’s often called Ratón Pérez south of the border. Which makes sense – there are no fairies here, but there sure is a lot of mice!
No joke, when we first had kids, my wife and I decided we didn’t want to tell our children stories about the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny or anything like that. However, when my oldest lost his first tooth, I impulsively created The Tooth Weasel. The Tooth Weasel would write long, outlandish letters in a distinctive script to accompany their quarters…and sometimes play pranks on them. These experiences made for interesting conversations on the playground. I had five kids. They lost a lot of teeth. I’d written probably a novel’s worth of tooth weasel letters before I finally let them in on the joke. But it was worth it!
This begs the question “What does the titmouse bring?” Sweet dreams?
Shortly after Carter’s birth big business discovered that the health care industry was big profit.
Long about 65 years ago my widowed grandmother retired from her job and received Social Security. To supplement her income she walked the neighborhood collecting glass pop (soda) bottles for the 2¢ each. She left us a fortune.

That would mean that one out of approximately 6 US residents throws out a plastic bottle in the average day, if my math is correct.

After Carter was elected, the Republicans tried to get rid of hospitals. Believe it, or DON’T!

Jimmy Carter ahead of his time on Climate Change, he installed solar panels at the Whitehouse that Reagan immediately removed

Plastic is the real fossil fuel threat to the world. It just doesn’t go away. Plastic micro-balls are being found everywhere!

I still can’t believe plastic water bottles don’t have a return deposit on them like pop or beer cans do…

Mice use their teeth for eating and biting, and I already said something about the tooth fairy on a different GoComics comic probably months ago.

I’ve only used bottled water, when a flavored drink wasn’t available, which has been very rare.
