The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsLets make a time capsule. Each of you will be given a box the size of a Klennex box, you may fill
completely or not. Don't forget vital information about yourself. Box will be open in 100 years. What are items you would like to put inside?
They can be new or old.

If someone wants to take that off my hands, great. A hundred years from now, someone else can worry about what to do with it, since I'll be long gone.

(61,631 posts)water,ice tea,etc. Walking Dolly last night, I saw recyclying bins filled with them. However, there was a water main break, no notice and no water buffaloes. Water out of the faucet was black. I was pissed as I would have filled the tub and the water jugs for drinking. Had no choice but to buy 2 days worth. I put that on the Boro and water company.
