A HUGE Pet Peeve Of Mine That Makes Me Want To Kick Some Ash
Jewelry made out of cigarette butts? How about a guitar pick that was a cigarette butt in a previous life? Well a company with the fabulous name of Cigarette Butt Litter Dream Recycling, has begun collecting cigarette butts - no, cigarette filters are NOT biodegradable - into things like jewelry, vases, and guitar picks. Another company called TerraCycle has started offering free UPS shipping labels so folks can mail in butts they collect. The company then turns the butt into plastic pallets for industrial use. But these recycled butts are a small minority. A recent litter survey found that cigarettes were the single largest item littered on roadways, accounting for 38% of the total. So gross!!  Yuck!!!  And cigarette butts aren't just a disgusting form of littering. Cigarette filters are made with a plastic that can leach their toxic chemicals into the environment.    
 
Here are a couple of ideas - QUIT SMOKING! And if you must, DON'T LITTER.  I feel much better.......

Oh, Cry Me A Seasoning!

In case you think you've seen it all, you haven't, until now.  There's a store in London that is selling something called "Salt Made From Tears". Yep, pretty self explanatory, albeit weird.  Human tears are supposedly boiled down, crystallized and rinsed in brine. And it gets weirder, because apparently not all types of tears taste the same. It depends on the conditions under which they were shed:  sorrow, anger, and laughter tears have unique flavors, as do tears from chopping onions and sneezing (yuck).  

Talk about your emotional eating....bon appe-tears!

And You Didn't Think Your Job Was Dangerous...
JJust when you thought it was safe to take your sandwich out of the company lunchroom refrigerator comes a study that says the office lunchroom is teaming with germs!  Yuck! Within the cesspool that is your office kitchen, the nastiest place is that sink! Think about it: dirty hands turn the faucet on, then freshly cleaned hands touch the grossness again to turn it off!  If you steer clear of the sink, you’re still not out of danger. The microwave, vending machine and that refrigerator door are also covered in germs.

Which reminds me -  I have no idea how I’m going to get my yogurt out of the refrigerator without a Haz Mat suit….
