I might have to change the posting times of the clues then. If I post early the party might not interfere with early morning hunting. I dunno, gotta think about this.

I was hoping to post clues at 3 pm but don't think that will work now.

sorry about the timing mrmnmikey... we can celebrate your graduation too! :smile:... If you wanna post from our house feel free... who knows, some expeditions may just head out from our house to take a look... stranger things have happened when coolers get together!

As far as what to bring... we have some drinks but if you want a lot of beer or wine you might want to bring some... I will have punch, pop and some wine and beer. We have all the food stuff under control :smile:

Sorry you can't make it LL :frown:

It should work out. I'll just have to wake up in the morning to post. Maybe it'll be found by the time the party gets going.

I've got a request -

I've got a nephew who may-may not want to get into model rocketry. I saw a website where someone found an old antique mining / dynamite "T" plunger box and used it for launching model rockets.

Apparently those plungers give about a 100 volt charge at extremely low amperage, so they can send a shock strong enough to ignite a model rocket charge, but really can't do much else with them.

Anyone know where one could acquire such a device? Those crappy plastic 9-volt hobby igniters are practically disposeable.

Give the clue to everyone at the party and post it when you get home. It'll give people an incentive to come.

No I think I'll just post the clues early in the morning. That way everyone can look till 3pm and then hit the party. Anyone that can get up early the next morning might have an advantage (as long as I wake up).

Might be fun to have someone turn it in to me at the party!

Congrats to you too Ares!!!

Recycle your milk cartons and juice boxes!

Really?

Yes, really, we recycle them! They look waxy and shiny, but these cartons are actually made of 70-85% paper. The paper is separated from the metal lining and plastic coating in a pulping process.

It's easy!

1. Remove caps, rinse & flatten (plastic pour spouts are okay)

Like plastic bottles, unflattened cartons are bulky and full of air, filling the trucks more quickly. Help us save fuel and time by reducing the number of trips to the recycling center.

2. Put them in with bottles & cans

Even through they are mostly paper, they need to be collected with bottles and cans because we cannot separate them from paper and cardboard at the recycling facility.

check with your local recycling or trash provider...but most people didn't know this..

Good Clothes & Linens

These items must be good, clean and reusable. Only pass on what you would give to a friend!

Linens: towels, sheets, blankets, curtains, tablecloths.

Clothes: including belts, coats, hats, gloves, shoes and boots.

No wet or dirty clothes.

No rags or cloth scraps.

No household goods other than clothes and linens.

* Place items in a sturdy plastic bag, 30-gallon size or smaller.

    * Make sure the bag is not too heavy for one person to pick up easily.

      Fasten the bag tightly so items will not get wet or fall out.

    * Clearly mark your bag CLOTHES & LINENS so that the drivers can see the bag is for recycling, not garbage.

    * Put your bag at the curb by 7 a.m. with your other recycling on any recycling pickup day.

    * Do not put any other recycling in plastic bags.

I'm not a fan of spring clean up day anymore...

cost is high...lines are high...

I just would rather go to the dump in st. paul under the highbridge.

whats weird about that is that I just drove past a Books For Africa downtown (lowertown on 6th st? & Wakouta) the other night and I had never heard of it and thought it was a strange name for a bookstore.

Do they sell books too or just accept the donations?

I've heard about books for africa and eureka recycling. they've both bought stuff from my company.

Has anyone here used the Valu Thrift Store in Sun Ray Mall for donations? They've taken just about everything I've thrown at them. I guess technically they are not a "Charity", but they donate openly to the Lupus (sp?) Foundation. I got a nice set of Left-Handed golf clubs from them for a song, too.

Every semester we can sell our textbooks back to the bookstore (at a lower rate of course) and anything out of date can be donated right there to books for africa. I dont know if they sell books or not.

I've used them, they're pretty good, and the guys in back don't speak english so they'll take just about anything.

Sams Club is open to the public this weekend if anyones interested. And there is no markup either for nonmembers.

Interesting... Some kind of promotion?

Thanks for the info Mikey!

mrmnmikey

Not sure. I was just there this afternoon and the checkout girl told me about it. Usually they mark stuff up for nonmembers when they let them in, but she said they aren't upcharging anybody and its open all weekend to the public. I'm not sure if it's all of them or not, but I know Woodbury is.

Anybody know of a good dentist/oral surgeon?

I'm pretty sure I gotta have my wisdom teeth pulled, but I'd much rather be unconcious for it.

I know the best oral surgeon but I don't think he can help you with your teeth!!

Dr. Stephen Gadient in Roseville/North Oaks is good. I used him when I needed teeth pulled before I got braces and also when I had my wisdom teeth out.
