As we continue to simplify and work on recycling and reusing Master's current goal was to stop using plastic bottles as much as possible. We bought a case of bottled water this summer and i reused those same bottles until just a couple weeks ago. Master has been looking in to reusing plastic bottles and what people say about the positive and negative aspects of that. It's really just not a great idea to reuse plastic bottles over and over again and we've been doing it for years with our soda. Canned soda is outrageously expensive compared to 2liter bottles, so we buy the 2liters and fill a smaller bottle for easier transportation. We're still using some plastic, but much less and it's all being recycled.
Master did His normal Master type research and found that the healthiest beverage container is stainless steel, for which we thought we'd end up having to pay $20 per container. Which we were willing to do if it meant no more drinking out of plastic and less plastic use from us. As geeky as it may sound we were thrilled when we found stainless steel containers for $5 each, perfect for what we wanted. One more way to lessen our mark in the world and for a fraction of what we thought we'd have to pay.
We recycle just about everything, we don't fill our kitchen garbage can once a week because of all the stuff we recycle. So it's pretty plain to see that we get sort of hyped up about something that seems rather benign lol.
That's it for me! Have a good night!

On Being A "Professional" Master/slave
We've never, ever wanted to be mistaken for any of the countless people who claim to be a Master or slave when in reality, they just pretend for money. There's potentially a fine line in other folks' perception, and I've gone to considerable effort to never cross that line. My treasure writes here because she enjoys it, she loves to get and reply to comments and she also does it because I require it. In the beginning, it was a blog, nothing more, nothing less. In the last few years, it has become not only a blog, but also a hub for all of our online activity. Some of that activity is done simply for fun, some of it is to feed some sort of narcissistic need for kudos that I still deny having, and some of it is done to try to supplement our income by sharing our real life with others who might be willing to toss a few bucks our way for a small window into our normal activities. Normal for us but mere fantasies to them, things that they can't get at home or simply things that get their blood flowing south. Like most people, we started out never showing our faces, never being specific about where we live, blah blah blah. One day, I decided that I was tired of acting like I was ashamed of Myself or My girl, just so someone I knew wouldn't find a photo that would make them all butt hurt because of their own insecurities and closed-mindedness. In a very short time, we had started making videos and posting non-anonymous pictures all over the place. Eventually, My girl started doing live cam sessions for cash and it's become a multifaceted "business". That's why we're making this page. I didn't want it on the front page of the blog because this is still her blog, and always will be, but we wanted to add a page for some of the money-making things that we do.
About two years ago, we decided to test the waters with Kindle publishing. For a nominal fee of 99 cents a month, you can get this blog automatically delivered to your Kindle. Unfortunately, this makes it less likely for My girl to get the comments that she so loves, so if you decide to go the Kindle route, please come back here later to leave that comment you were thinking about!
Lately, we've had gentlemen ask if it was possible to buy My treasure's worn stockings. If worn stockings is what you seek, then we are happy to oblige. We've charged very reasonable amounts in the past, and that won't change. Pricing will depend entirely on quantity, color, availability, your location and any other variables or requests. We get her stockings from Europe, and we only order a few times a year, so we may have limited color options at any given time. If you're interested in My girl's worn stockings, or any other requests for that matter, please email her directly at precioustreasure_md@yahoo.com. We've done custom videos and would also be happy to do custom photosets. If it turns you on, and you think we can provide it, please don't hesitate to ask.
About 2 and a half years ago, we also decided to start making videos for sale. We've had a banner on the front page, but we've never really promoted it at all. Well, I'm not really going to promote it too much here either, but if you'd like to check out our clips, you can find them here. You can also find some of them here.
My treasure has also started working as a cam girl on ImLive. There's a banner on the front for this as well, but you can also click here or on the banner below to find her over there or schedule a meeting with her.
Banners here also!
Its kinda nice when you can do that eh?? We had TERRIBLE drinking water and had to buy bottled stuff. Then Master went and put in a RO Filter and now we no longer use bottles. ANd the RO filter WASTE alot of water as its cleaning it for us to drink so he went under the house and set it up so that the water the RO unit dumps actually goes into the plant watering system we have. So we save by not buying bottles water and using the RO waste water for the plants.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing if you haven't don't it yet is the plastic bags, we stopped using them hmm I think I wrote on it about two years ago. I made my own..:) Put little sayings on them like "saving the world one plastic bag at a time"
And gardening when the seasons are right..:) Now i have oranges bananas and pineapple on the go. The oranges are AMAZING! Come Feb (florida has a different plant season then the rest of you) I plant the veggies. And I freeze in re-usuable containers rather then plastic freezer bags.
And I garden alot, I always say, I want to leave the world I better place then how I came into it.
be good..:)

Whenever possible i use containers from whipped topping, butter, cottage cheese, whatever sort of container that i have on hand not yet recycled or that i've kept. We don't buy containers but i do have old tupperware that i've been given over the years that i'll use until the end of time lol. When we have to use plastic bags, if the bag isn't gross, i wash the bags in hot soapy water, rinse them well and reuse them, i know several people who do this. i'll do that until the bag is just no longer viable or if it's had meat in it, then it's tossed.
ReplyDeleteSeems like more hassle than it's worth but really it takes only seconds and it makes a box of bags last ages.
As for plastic grocery bags, we do use them, when we shop at a store that requires bags. Then the plastic bags are returned the store for recycling. The main store where we shop, you provide your own bag/container/box, whatever.
i wish we had better soil for gardening. We live in sand and have an irrigation system but the soil really stinks. We tried our hand for the first time last year at some very minor gardening. i think we're going to try again but give it a more valiant effort with some advice from my brother perhaps. So we'll see.. hehe
*hugs* take care
