Subj : Minced Garlic To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Feb 27 2020 08:28:00 Hi Nancy! BM> Hmm: wonder where the minced garlic in a jar will end up after the BM> remodel is done at the grocery store? Might go for making my own; BM> didn't see garlic cloves but wasn't looking either. NB> First guess would be in produce, somewhere... both the garlic NB> heads and the various forms of prepared garlic... :) That would make sense! Right now no 'urge for garlic' so won't look for it, plus the whole store is pretty much in a state of flux with the remodeling so where something is located today may not be where it is next week. BM> Last Thursday's shopping trip was 'messy' as they had started moving BM> the 'center' of the store -- more or less the 'left third'. Temporary BM> shelving to accompany the removal and replacement. I haven't figured BM> out what is going in where the liquor store portion was (it got moved BM> over into the next storefront section). The construction crew has BM> been doing something major in the old liquor store section. They were BM> also tearing apart some of the back and side portions (in the store BM> proper) near the old Liquor area but I don't think is being moved into BM> there. Stay tuned!! NB> The project continues... Yup! Will be going later this morning and will be interesting to see what changes have been done. Last week they were starting to tear out the left center when I was there. This week -- ?? I have been finding pretty much all of what I need on my own. NB> Speaking of projects, the road project is pretty well NB> completed... and seems to have made a substantial difference in NB> the traffic congestion that area has had... worth the hassles of NB> the construction over the last few years... :) Good! The short-term inconvenience was worthwhile in the end. BM>> I semi-sort of avoided keeping change with me: slowed down the vending BM>> machine purchases in the Break Room. NB>> Ah... I didn't have that temptation... and it was always nice to have NB>> a little change to keep from getting a huge pocket-full of change back NB>> from a purchase... ;) BM> Yes, getting 75› back in nickles and dimes for a $1.25 purchase is a BM> hare annoying. NB> Or even getting 94 cents back in quarters plus the dime nickle NB> and 4 pennies... having 6 cents to hand over to get a dollar back NB> is much better... ;) Definitely! If I know I might need or use change I'll bring an assortment with me. NB>>> Still possibly would rather do myself... maybe the truck got them all NB>>> properly shredded, but it was just an assumption that the noise meant NB>>> that it was being totally shredded, so not necessarily the case... ;) BM>> I had thought that might be your answer! Yes, I agree there is no BM>> easy proof the papers are being sufficiently shredded. At least BM>> shredding at home one can see a bucket of confetti. The items we BM>> brought for commercial shredding were mostly because "too much": box or BM>> two of old documents which needed to be kept x-number of years BM>> following death, old banking items (checkbooks, registers, statements), BM>> some of which would have needed to been disassembled to be home BM>> shredded. Nothing of which could not have been shredded at home, just BM>> a heck of a lot easier to have someone do. NB>> I can sorta see that line of reasoning.... ;) Just would probably NB>> still rather see it done myself... :) BM> Agree. Most of the stuff using the public shredding was of items BM> 'immediately no longer active': closed bank accounts (deceased BM> relative), though some was old bank statements of active accounts. So BM> far no problems we could attribute to shredding 'leaks'. NB> It probably was safe enough... :) I'm just extra careful on NB> things like that... ;) Nothing wrong with being careful! If I didn't feel comfortable with the free shredding process I wouldn't participate, or limited participation: only inactive accounts, for example. The last two or three shred events I've gone to have been sponsored and at my credit union so maybe more of a feeling of security at that site than the ones at the TV station, for example. ...Still would go with 'gut feeling': if you don't want to, don't! :) ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
