Asset Recycling

A few months ago I came across a newspaper article about Asset Recycling. At Asset Recycling, you can find used, but still usable building materials and they also have some new building materials. Here is some information from their website:


WHAT IS ASSET RECYCLING?
Asset Recycling, a division of Youth Fair Chance, Inc., a non-profit organization works to divert usable building materials from landfills while offering donors all allowable tax incentives for their contributions. It provides neighborhoods with new and affordable building materials for home projects.

While the Asset Recycling warehouse primarily contains windows, doors, paint, plumbing supplies, flooring, and lighting, clients can also count on finding some interesting deals on arts and crafts items, holiday and party supplies, home decorating items, fabrics, and more! Asset Recycling houses over 30,000 square feet of new and ready-to-use resources.

The charity's focus is to provide today's youth with a fair chance for a safer and more environmentally friendly future by eliminating usable building materials from landfills. Besides the Asset Recycling warehouse in Indianapolis, Youth Fair Chance, Inc. operates New Build, Inc., a warehouse in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In operation since April of 2003, Asset Recycling is open to the public. Inventory changes often, so frequent visits are encouraged.

Asset Recycling assesses a handling fee formulated to cover the agency's cost. Clients pay a nominal fee which is at least 50% lower than retail value, but sometimes up to 90% lower.

Good-bye Dear Friend! R. I. P.

It's so sad when an old friend decides to go away forever....

Good-bye "Walgreen's Easy Saver Program", you have been a good friend to me. You've given me free hairspray and lipstick and kept my litter box smelling good with air freshener. I've enjoyed Con-agra products and pain relief for free, thanks to your generosity.


If you would like to read the official Obituary for "Easy Saver" please go here.

You will be missed, but I look forward to more deals from your cousin "Register Rewards". I will seek my comfort there....

Menu Planning Monday 5/11/09 - Freezer Week

I usually plan the whole month of meals out at the beginning of the month. Well, this month seems to be just slipping away! I will be trying to use up some odds and ends up from my freezer over the next few weeks so I will just be planning a week at a time - so I can assess what's left and needs to be used up.

Here is the plan for this week:

Monday: Taco Salad's with left over chili from the freezer

Tuesday: Turkey Noodle soup - use broth from freezer

Wednesday: Breakfast - with bacon and hash browns from freezer

Thursday: Turkey, Broccoli and rice casserole - use turkey and broccoli from freezer

Friday: Black eyed peas and ham over rice - use ham from freezer

Saturday: Pizza and Salad


I really hate to waste food, so I'll be trying to get creative to use up the things I have in there that really need to be eaten before they get freezer burn or get too old.

I would challenge you for this week, as you plan your menu - look at what needs to be eaten in your fridge or freezer and see what you can do with it to make a yummy meal!

Sunday Meditations

All Glory Laud and Honor




All glory, laud, and honor, To Thee, Redeemer, King,
To Whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring:
Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David's royal Son,
Who in the Lord's name comest, The King and blessed One.




O Lord, how shall I meet Thee, How welcome Thee aright?
Thy people long to greet Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight!
Oh, kindle, Lord, most holy, Thy lamp within my breast
To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best.

















Thy Zion strews before Thee Green boughs and fairest palms,
And I, too, will adore Thee With joyous songs and psalms.
My thankful heart shall ever Sing praise to Thee anew;
And from Thy name shall never Withhold the honor due.



















What tho' the foes be raging, Heed not their craft and spite;
Your Lord, the battle waging, Will scatter all their might.
He comes, a King most glorious, And all His earthly foes
In vain His course victorious Endeavor to oppose.
