Morning Tip:
Don't jump out of bed fast. You may get dizzy.
Instead, sit on the edge of the bed for 10 seconds then get up.

We have a can deposit here. You pay 5c per can with every purchase and then can redeem your can for the 5c. A fair number of Iowans keep an extra trash can in the garage to just throw cans in. When your done you just wash them out real quick so there is no syrup and it's not a big deal.
We have curbside recycling here. You pay 0c per can (or bottle) and just drop them in a recycling bin, then dump that into your larger recycling trash can every week. It's not a big deal.
I suppose I could "save" all my cans (which do have the Iowa 5c refund stamp on them) and bring them back for the couple bucks I'd get 'returning' them at Hy-Vee, but not really worth my time.
I'm not saying Iowa has some great idea but to act like you didn't know about cans or that it's some uncommon thing seemed odd.
Even when I lived in Iowa, I never had a "giant can box" in my home or garage...
The problem with CC math is that the kids start at step 1 of 1000. Parents get asked for help the 1st time at step 115 and they haven't seen steps 1-114. Then they try to do what they learned, which doesn't work like CC math, and they don't like it because it isn't what they learned and they can't help their kid with basic division so they think CC math is the problem.
Back in the day, when I changed my own vehicle’s oil, that would have been a nice tip/trick. However, with these newer cars/engines the oil filter, etc is harder to get at, so my “tip”…just take vehicle to mechanic for that job. 😉
I agree it's confusing for parents, but I remember as a kid going through school in the 60s and 70s my parents and their friends complaining about the new math we were learning. It happens with every generation.
Haven’t had one since college; but every week or so we’d bring them back and were able to pay for many cheap cases of beer
We stopped with the extra bin just for cans because, even if you rinse them out first, we always ended up with a bunch of flies in the garage.
That said, many families in Iowa do this.
I didn't know until I was 45 or so what the bagel setting on the toaster did. I always thought it made the slots wider for the bagel. Apparently it just toasts one side of it. Now I never use it because I like both sides toasted.
I use a 55 gallon garbage can with lid and a garbage bag inside. No fly problem.
Everyone I know just uses the can box lids for theirs, no fly problems here.
The amount of things in this thread that people were not aware of is a little alarming.
So many of these in the food industry. The Ketchup ones aren't all that worth it, but using the Chinese takeout container instead of a plate works great.
