Come on, girls! You can do it! Move...that...scale!!
Ok-that doesn't make any sense to you?
Let me explain. Recently, I moved my bathroom scale from my bathroom down to our garage. Why?
It all started one week when the garbage men wouldn't take my garbage. Because it was unbelievably stinky with 50 poopy diapers? Noooo. Because it had hazardous waste...like poopy diapers? Nooo. Guess again!
Because it weighed too much. !
Oh-ok, so I'm supposed to weigh my garbage every week??
Now, to prevent anyone from thinking I dislike my garbage men-I don't, and I totally understand that they are hefting heavy garbage all day, every day. I love them ! We've even left cookies for our garbage men before! Go garbage men!
But, couldn't they have taken it and left a note saying-"please weigh your garbage from now on.. we won't take anything over 60 lbs."
(My garbage that week was 63 lbs. by the way:-) I think it had something to do with my husband putting a big, heavy, metal rod in the bottom that he had found on the side of the road.
So, thus-my bathroom scale is now in my garage. But, you know-how liberating is that? I care more about weighing my garbage than my post 4-kids body!
I think everyone should move their scales to their garage!
Go girls! You can do it!
I never thought they wouldn't take heavy garbage. How did you find out it had to be 60 lbs? I should move my scale INTO the garbage!! I don't look at it and when I finally do...I hate myself for looking at it because I loved myself before I ddi!!!!
ReplyDeleteI found this out via my neighbor. His freezer had been on the fritz, so he wanted to throw out the salmon he had there. I don't know how much frozen salmon he had, but it was at his house for weeks until he took it to the landfill--the garbage men would not touch it. The men also left him a "TOO HEAVY" note--it had lots of other writing on it as well--I am guessing too smelly, too slimy, etc.
