I compost everything, including yard waste and kitchen scraps and still somehow never have enough compost to go around and at least 1 of my compost piles always seems to have room. Some things are reduced in size by the lawn mower running over it as denninmi described and then composted. Most of the autumn leaves never make it to the compost pile; they get run over multiple times and then raked back into the lawn or used to mulch flower beds. I can process all my stuff that needs composting from all my gardens as well as periodic additions of manure in a space that's a little under 3 1/2' x 12' and can be up to 4' high (except for really large branches which go into the woods) and I actively garden what's probably more than an acre of beds, mixed borders along with a large veggie garden. Can you widen your compost area behind the garage? My mum lives in a suburb where you can put sticks and other yard refuse out for recycling, either bundled in less than 4' lengths or in brown yard refuse bags. (I do most of her gardening.) In my small rural town, there is an area of the town transfer station where yard refuse is collected and composted for those who don't compost.

Edmonton city inspectors are policemen that act like inspectors that break the law as I have experienced. They broke into my home and caused lots of damage like slamming door knots into the walls and smashing a big dent in my furnace. When I asked for a report when they were inspecting my homes furnace two days earlier I was told to call the police for a copy. They denied my request very rudely. I have not been the same since this happened and think that city inspectors that came to my place unannounced should be questioned of their actions with me and their visit to my home. Please help me, I'm falling apart since it happened. Thank you. Barry Pidsadowskl Barrysspace22@gmail.com 780

RitaWeeda, You can set Firefox not to automatically install updates. Current versions ... Options \ General, scroll down to Firefox Updates section and select "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" It may be under a different menu structure if you're on an older version. It may still advise that an update is available but won't automatically install it. You can check manually check for updates by clicking on Help / About Firefox. It will check from there if any updates are available, advise you accordingly, and offer to fetch and install. I've been using Firefox since the 0.xx versions.

I am with you on notification over load. I go insane sitting next to DH who seems to NEED notifications for Etsy/FB/Youtube to DING on his phone all dang night!!! Me I prefer to be in control of when I attend to such things. I never ever never ever turn on notifications! Here on the top right of your screen you can see a bell--that bell when hovered over gives you all the threads you would have gotten notifications on. There is no reason to feel you might miss something, or to be bothered with all this senseless filling of in boxes.
