    Hello. Just a quick note. Someone may have already mentioned this to you, but I’ll give it a shot. The last item on the list was plastic grocery bags. There r several grocery stores that recycle their bags for future bags in their store. That alone makes me not feel so bad using them. Mind u, my family returns their bags to the store. It takes the customers to bring the bags back to the store. For example, Wal-Mart does this. There r signs letting customers know. Just as u walk in the doors, there is a grocery bag return area. It makes it so easy to bring ur old bags to return them on ur next grocery shopping trip. Take care….I enjoy ur channel.

    When I was young, power companies sold light bulbs and you only bought them once. When they burned out you could take them back to the power company and get free replacements. Broken bulbs you would have to buy replacements for.
    That all changed when a hardware store owner sued because he bought a bunch of bulbs that he couldn't sell due to the replacement policy, claiming that the power companies had an unfair monopoly on the sale of bulbs.

      You could still buy "rough service" incandescent bulbs, more expensive but with heavier construction and supposedly a much longer life. They were exempt from the original ban because NYC union subway workers were not about to spend their entire lives replacing cheap bulbs. I suspect that once a) a lot of Americans learned where to buy the legal incandescent bulbs and b) burnt out fancy planet saving CFL bulbs were considered toxic waste because of the mercury, we just gave up and allowed the old bulbs.

As a result, I had difficulty getting my eyes to work together a few years later when I was learning to read. I had to do exercises to improve motor functionality in my brain.

    Some notes about right on eed
    There may be a sign restricting right on red - generally if there's a hazard in allowing it. For example, in my rown there is an intersection where six roads come together. There is no right on red at this intersection, and signs plainly tell the driver as such.
    Right on red us an option, not compulsory. I tend ro check for red light cameras, and if I see one, I I'll not turn right on red, because I don't trust the camera not to trip when any movement against the red light.
    We drive on the right (as opposed to on the left), and the turn is supposed to be from the right line, to the most right lane on the perpendicular street. No right on red from the jeft or center lanes (if presenr).
    If you don't feel safe, wait a dew extra seconds to make sure someone isn't going to fly through the intersection and hit when you are making the turn. Or, don't do it at all. I'd rather wait a bit of time than have someone's car in my front seat.

When i go to grocery store and forget my bags, they have option to buy from them (expensive) or buy paper ( thin). You can also just carry them out in the cart. Using the paper ones a couple of times gives a strong reminder to bring yours next time.

    Right turn on red is permitted if there is no sign saying that it is prohibited for that particular intersection. You do need to stop first though, and then you can make your right turn if it is safe to do so. You do have to yield to any traffic that has the right of way. Right turn on red saves gas because you are not sitting their waiting, and obviously also saves time.

    1. Valentines Day actually has its roots as a Catholic holiday to honor St. Valentine. So Islamic countries would want to ban it for that reason if not for the fact that it is a western tradition. First we had paper bags, and they complained that we were killing too many trees. Then they came up with the brilliant idea of switching to plastic bags. Fast forward and they are complaining that the plastic bags don't biodegrade fast enough and are ruining the environment, so they come up with these reusable grocery bags. Fast forward and they complain that the reusable bags are unhygienic and can cause people to get sick, and now they are recommending paper bags again. I guess they've decided that we have enough trees now.

    You can name your kid just about anything in the U.S. (though I recall some parents who, I think, were understandably forced to change their baby's name when they wanted to name him "Adolf" "Hitler.") Remember the name River Phoenix, and his brother, Joaquin Phoenix, who used to be called, Leaf. They also have three sisters named Rain, Liberty, and Summer. Plastic bags were forced in under the guise of "saving the environment" about 35-40 years ago, replacing paper bags. Now, a lot of people recycle them or use them in place of garbage bags. That is ridiculous about not allowing different flavors of chips. A lot of Americans would like to see less use of the questionable additives and preservatives to foods. Right turn on red has certain rules to follow, such as waiting for any oncoming traffic and/or traffic that has the right of way (a few rules may be different in different states). But generally, right turn on red works very well to keep the traffic moving.

    Kids aren't typically named after things like microphones but they could. My aunt was named Sytha. I have a cousin named Kiana. I think it's Hawaiian for princess. (Keanu Reeves' name is prince. ) Kiana has a sister named Arianazea. We call her Nay. There's a famous 60s/70s musician named Frank Zappa. His daughter is named Moon Unit Zappa. I can't remember which actress, I think Gwyneth Paltrow, has named her daughter Apple. Mostly people have chosen variations of spelling their child's name. My classmate was named Michaelle, a derivation of the more common Michelle. I don't know if it's still disapproved of in court but the government frowned upon people trying to change their name to Jesus Christ or Santa Claus, for example. I have heard the reason some African-Americans give their children unusual names is to break away from calling their children "slave" names, commonplace European names. We had a US Senator change his name to Kwaisi Mfumi, I forget the meaning of the name but the story is he wanted to change his name and his aunt happened to be traveling to Africa on holiday. He asked her for some African words. I *think* Kwaisi means Lion or perhaps Pride in the language of the country she visited.
