Public Service Announcement . . .

Brought to you from your friendly local author. :) Be sure to periodically check the expiration dates on the medicines in your cabinets. We move so often I do this at least every two years, but tonight I still threw out a small waste bin full of cold medicines for the kids that expired sometime last year or earlier this year.

And we won't even mention the can of soup in the cupboard that had an expiration date of January, 2003. It must have moved with us from Seattle to Florida and then from Florida here to Virginia. Sadly, its interstate journey is over. FAREWELL, ANCIENT MINESTRONE!!

Hmmm. Good possibility I'm getting punchy ...

Oooh...just remember not to throw them in the regular garbage! Old medicine should go to wherever your community deals with hazardous waste, so they don't leach into the soil and eventually our groundwater.

Not sure about the soup, LOL. That might be considered hazardous waste too, if it was that old!
