136th New Thing - Recycled Old Cellphones

I have a total of 5 old and unused cellphones now that are pretty useless so I decided to charge them, play with them, delete all info, and then recycle them. I can easily part ways with 2 of my old cellphones. My 1st cellphone was an LG 4NE1 (featuring MIDI ringers, neck strap, and changeable side covers) with Sprint PCS and an old 304 WV area code. My 2nd cellphone was a Samsung A670 (a flip phone featuring a colorized display, 32 mb memory, and 0.3 megapixel camera) with Verizon Wireless and my current 773 IL area code. Technology has come a far way from 10 years ago. I knew Target had a MP3/Cellphone/Ink Cartridge Recycling Bin at their store so we walked over there since it was 60F outside today. Electronic waste is collected by a national vendor who resells them for reuse, refurbishing or recycling. Anything that can’t be reused is scrapped by companies that dispose of the materials responsibly. In the 1st 9 months of their recycling program, they collected and recycled approximately 1.5 million units of ink cartridges, MP3 players, and cellphones. Target also has recycling bins for plastic bags and glass/plastic/aluminum so get out there, be more green, and recycle!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
