After they dry, I put them away for the next time, so that solves the problem of plastic bags. I reuse them. Yesterday at the store, I saw a woman picking through a bunch of peppers, selecting the best one, and swapping them back and forth. How many germs are on this woman&#8217;s hands? People are so rude and inconsiderate! If they knew how hard it is to grow vegetables and food, they&#8217;d be a little more considerate or grow their own. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">~<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I was at the post office the other day and bought a book of stamps for $15.60! You realize, folks, that\u2019s about .78 a stamp! The reason they are so high is that everybody is using the Internet. I\u2019m getting sick of this; I&#8217;m going to go to the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">~<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I would like to say a tremendous THANK YOU to the entire crew at Hickories Park in Owego for the amazing job they have always done and continue to do to keep this park looking so beautiful.
