Silly! I know what you mean about the trash stench, though. When you start thinking nobody else's could possibly be worse than yours, just think of someone with twins...twice the stinky diapers in the same amount of time!

Not with the diapers, but with the food garbage....just an idea..Susan Berlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751377135395989730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-725217814911236952009-09-19T22:28:29.446-05:002009-09-19T22:28:29.446-05:00We recently moved to a VERY small town, and there ...We recently moved to a VERY small town, and there is NO public trash pickup here. Every family must fend for themselves. (There is a trash company that goes around once a week and collects bags that have stickers on them. Stickers one can purchase at the grocery store for FIVE DOLLARS each. That's right - per bag.) God, I miss having trash collectors!beck'sthreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210547864713460125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-28946990586129672542009-09-19T22:13:32.903-05:002009-09-19T22:13:32.903-05:00We gave our Diaper Genie the boot too!

Luckily, our trash can sits behind the house so I rarely have to cross paths with it beyond adding to its contents. <br /><br />I had to laugh when you pondered what the neighborhood might think of you; we are literally the youngest family on the block and the ONLY one with kids. Our elderly neighbors seem tickled by the constant array of toys strewn all over and our disaster of a yard, but I secretly think they cringe when they drive by ;)Lenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128174350293301827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-30974165055944216132009-09-19T20:20:08.320-05:002009-09-19T20:20:08.320-05:00when we lived in california i swear we had the sti...when we lived in california i swear we had the stinkiest garbage ever. I also felt so bad for the garbage collectors who cheerfully collected our babies poop...now mind you this was after being baked in the 100+ degree sun for a week. the whole neighborhood stunk from our cans...lol<br /><br />here its different in PA. there is no real garbage collection! weird. They are allowed about 2 small bags a week from some guy who personally takes stuff to a dump. my mom is in the country and they just burn their garbage. i have even burned diapers...lol. we take recycles to a center. call a large collection truck once a year for large items and burn the rest.kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403839587472802558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-30838064766500333462009-09-19T16:33:21.395-05:002009-09-19T16:33:21.395-05:00I am seriously thinking about getting rid of the d...I am seriously thinking about getting rid of the diaper gene as well. Some nights (with my over active pregnancy nose) I nearly gag just walking into my house. I swear that thing stinks up the whole house! I would much rather a stinky outdoor trash on the side of my house. But would I be too lazy to go outside EVERY TIME and throw it away??? Maybe I will do a practice run before totally getting rid of the gene. <br />I would save so much money on those stupid refill bags!Mrs. Jones sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316042201643365736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-80838350116492135192009-09-19T14:25:27.339-05:002009-09-19T14:25:27.339-05:00We do the same thing with our dirty diapers...

I think I'd be fired the first day after the complaints from customers who found vomit next to their empty trash cans...Kate @ Bliss and Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836510592490523666noreply@blogger.com
