No it's mine now English cigarette.

No i think your trash is still private property until your incorporate it into the main pile of a dumb truck. Its even still privte property if its still in the truck's "scooper"

Nope.

Excuse Trente, he's still stuck in the 50's.

Oh give me a break, if someone refers to their boyfriend, it's far more likely that they're a girl than a guy. Heterosexuals do still outnumber homosexuals by a huge margin, so it wasn't an unreasonable assumption to make.

We're actually at the point where there are more regularly posting gay members than female members.

Don't be mad, be gay. No offence was meant, but despite that fact I would probably get banned for using the other word. :)

I'm a firm believer in taking back the "bad" words, and making them acceptable.

Well if someone wanted my trash, then they should have taken the trash. If someone wanted the trashcan, take the trashcan. But to take them both, it makes no sense. Obviously the person or persons did not care if we noticed that it was gone, or they weren't very smart. And it was too heavy to just carry around by yourself, so you would need a vehicle. So someone drove a vehicle up to my curb, got out, grabbed my trashcan, and all the surrounding trashbags that did not fit in the can, put them all in his/her truck, and left.

Garbage men had not come yet. They do not come till about 8:30 am. I left at 7 am. Everyone's trash in the neighborhood was still there.

I really don't understand why you have problems with Trente and his comment.
If he's anti-gay he's anti-gay. <~~ assuming he is. That's his choice. Some find the whole homosexual culture disgusting.

It's possible. Oblivion is the next lot down on my street. Just a big spinning black vortex. That place is always up for sale though.

Or maybe the garbageman came and got your trash, and someone stole your garbage can afterwards?

Our trash collecting people used to accidentilly drop our can in the truck sometimes. They'd always replace it though.. like it'd be gone one day and brand new one the next

God is punishing you for touching yourself. The trashcan was just a warning -- something much worse will come next.

My bf found it on his way home from school. Someone had picked it up, carried it for a mile or so, and dumped it and left it in someone yard. He stopped and asked the lady who lived there and she said that it wasn't hers, someone had left it there during the night because it was there this morning.

I wonder why someone would do that to us. May'be it was random.
