Warm and pleasant greetings.
We hope you are enjoying a good week.
It’s been a challenging week for us, but we’ve enjoyed the good parts of each day.
My goodness, what did I learn about the tractor’s speedometer? This subject is strictly “farm” talk!
Particularly, the most modern tractors are high-tech and the mechanism is past thinking. It’s no wonder the tractor can have great performances. Our tractor still runs for all it’s worth. I’ve started the tractor a time or two, just to say I have and to know I could. I was not allowed, rather trusted, to put it in any gear. Probably, I would have trouble finding the gear. Driving the tractor may have caused competition between the other driver and me. Just one time would do no harm unless I couldn’t find the brake!
The sunshine and warm days last week allowed for outdoor time. I was able to get the door spring and summer wreaths up.
The lawn was mowed for the first time this spring. I hope you enjoyed the sunshine and the couple of warm 60-degree days.
The Tallahatchie County Retired Teachers Organization met virtually the second Tuesday for a regular meeting. Business was tendered and committee reports accepted. This was a very fruitful meeting. TCRTA will gather in person for this term’s final meeting on May 9. President Sevelda Taylor will inform the group of place and time. If you have other concerns, or need to update your membership, please contact Ms. Taylor. The group meets September to May.
Do you have expired drugs or medications you no longer use? You may want to dispose of these. U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the best way to dispose of expired, unwanted or unused meds is through a drug take-back program or you can do it at home. Drug takeback: You can check with your pharmacist. Some pharmacists offer on-site medicine drop of boxes, mail back programs and other ways to safely dispose of unused medicines.
Disposing of medicines in household trash: Almost all medicines, except those on the FDA list (such as fentanyl patches and inhaler products) can be thrown into household trash. These include prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in pills, liquids, drops, patches and creams.
To dispose of unused meds in the garbage: 1. Remove the drug from its original container and mix with something undesirable, such as used coffee grinds, dirt or cat litter. 2. Put mixture in something you can close, such as a reusable zip-close storage bag or empty can to prevent leakage or spill. 3. Throw the container in the garbage. 4. Scratch out your personal information on the empty packaging. Throw the package away.
Remember, your medicine is for you and should never be shared.
Enjoy this day. Be blessed.
