The town is encouraging us to get rain barrels for our homes so my friend S talked me into taking advantage of an upcoming rebate and getting one. She says it's good for the environment. They have a mesh cover and a place on the bottom of it where you can attach a hose. So at the very least we can use it to water the plants and the lawn. I was thinking it's just one more thing to take care of.
I notice a lot of our neighbours throwing out old toilets. They must be taking advantage of renovation credits or energy rebates and getting water saver toilets.

We did install the water-saving toilets in Hawaii and want to get a rain barrel but nobody sells them. It's so frustrating. I'd love to get one. My in-laws in California have several and say it's fantastic.
What about mosquitos. Would they not collect in the standing water?
SoccerMom, I googled a photo of a rain barrel, it looks ok as far as mosquitoes are concerned
Kay, good to know that your in-laws enjoy using them

Its the sae here too. We get rebates for putting in rainwater tanks/barrels. My neighbour just had two large ones put in yesterday. Its ideal for a hot country like ours.
As for the nuts - I eat a lot of walnuts and almonds and every now and then brazil nuts (think they are very fattening). I also eat a lot of sardines and avocado etc. I have very good cholestral. Not musch else good about me, he he, but at least its something!! My grandad had a beautiful walnut tree and I have eaten them all my life.
