HHW General InformationHousehold hazardous waste materials include paint thinner, car batteries, polishes, insecticides, mercury thermometers and glues. These materials are too dangerous to be simply poured down the drain or placed into a garbage can. Some, such as gasoline, thinners, lighter fluid or glues and adhesives can catch fire. Others, such as pool chemicals and bleaches, can react violently with other materials to explode or produce toxic gases. Many, such as lawn and garden or agricultural chemicals, can be toxic if inhaled or ingested, and can cause serious medical problems.

In Jerusalem

My daughter, Katelyn, just returned from a wonderful tour of Israel. Of all the magnificant sights, look what she found in Jerusalem! L'chaim!
Gladys came in and looked great after her first chemotherapy treatment. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Paul did well with his second cataract surgery today.
Bill T. had a great haunted event at a party this weekend. Weather permitting, he will be hosting his own haunted house on Sanford Avenue this Halloween evening. Look for Leatherface lurking in the shadows......

Medical Updates

Gladys is recovering at home and doing great. She was thrilled when Dr. Mike surprised her by sending a lovely flower arrangement.

Paul had outpatient surgery at Hopkins on Tuesday to replace his pacemaker/battery pack. He did so well, he was back at Sam's the next morning!

I went back to the doctor's yesterday since I was still coughing and extremely tired. Turns out that I have walking pneumonia. I am sure the antibiotics will soon fix me right up.

Hope the rest of you are well!

Happy 55th Anniversary, Jean and Paul


Greetings from lovely Natchez, MS. We have had a very pleasant visit with Dad's Navy buddies. We also had a chance to see some of the antebellum homes in the city.
