  Gas Rebates

Hi,
I had a call from my CC company asking me if I wanted to try a vacation

familiar with these?

I don't buy seeds. Some seeds I save but every year I just plant the
excess my fellow community gardeners started. People who start their
own seeds usually have tons of extras that they're happy to go anywhere
except the compost pile.

Seems odd to be bragging about being a liar and a thief.

It's a benefit at our workplace. All employees get a Costco card. I don't
like Costco all that much but I have used it in the past.

Personally, I use the items shown when you search for "storage bins" but I
have a high turnover rate with my small parts so dust is not really a
factor... If you need something sealed, jars are better.

Roam the site for millions of useful items - and no, I'm not working for
them...

I don't know, we haven't been looking to buy any for 20 years or so. :-)
