New Environmentally Friendly Service in Fenton Michigan - Can Do Returnables

Born From Sheer Laziness and Disgust

We admit it. We hate taking back Michigan returnable cans and bottles. But it is good for the environment and keeps our streets clean. So it is a good thing. And we have no choice but to take them back to get our can or bottle deposits back. Or do we?

We remember a simpler time. A time before the returnable kiosks in the neighborhood grocery stores. A time when we could simply take in a bag or cart full of cans, tell the man behind the counter how many we had, and walk off with our hard earned money back in our own pockets. A time when an eager high school student would process our messy cans and bottles for us. But those times are gone. Or are they?

We despised the dirty looks from the other people, as grumpy as we were about this chore, when we would finally get around to carting in those sacks full of sticky, smelly cans and bottles. We detest the boring monotony of feeding one can at a time into those dirty kiosks. You are already in the grocery store, but who wants to shop for food after handling all those potentially germ-ridden returnables?

The Right Idea at the Right Time

You know you don't like taking those cans and bottles back any more than do we. So what can you do about that? Hire Can-Do Returnables to do your dirty work!

That's right. We will free you up from that awful chore. You can once again have a garage clear of all those nasty returnables. And the best part is, you don't have to do it yourself. Why hadn't anyone thought of this sooner? It doesn't matter anymore because this service is available to you now. All you have to do is click on the order button. That's it. No more messy cans and bottles. No more carting off all those returnables back to the store. Just click the order button, tell us where you are and when you'd like for us to come get them, and we'll handle the rest!

Too Good to be True?

You know the old adage, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Well this idea is too good not to be true. Someone really should have thought about this idea a long time ago. Want to know more? Click on the details button to get more information on how this exciting service can work for you!

Does Your Charity, Church or Club Need a Novel Fundraiser?

Can-Do Returnables can be used as an easy and excellent fundraiser for your charity, church or club. You tell your members. We do all the dirty work. Click on the charity button to find out how you can donate your proceeds to your favorite charity. Or click on the fundraiser button to find out how you can unleash the power of Can-Do Returnables to put dollars into your coffers.

Democrat Party Disenfranchises Michigan Voters in Presidential Primary!

The Presidential Primary in Michigan is rapidly approaching. You can cast your votes on January 15, 2008. But quite possibly you are NOT ALLOWED to vote for your favorite candidate!! This is serious, folks.

In an earlier article on FentonSays.com we have available for view the preliminary primary ballots. If you take a look, you'll notice that Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina are NOT on the Democrat Primary ballot. Not only aren't they on the ballot, but if you decide to try to write them in ... YOUR VOTE WILL BE THROWN OUT.

Read that last sentence again ... if you decide to try to write-in your favorite Democrat candidate for President YOUR VOTE WILL BE THROWN OUT.

"If there's no campaign, the candidate most likely to win Michigan is Hillary Clinton," Bill Schneider said. "Her Democratic rivals don't want a Clinton victory in Michigan to count. They want Iowa and New Hampshire, where they have a better chance of stopping Clinton, to count more."

If you are a Democrat in Michigan, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) has basically made your choice for you ... Hillary Clinton will be your nominee for President (you don't really think the other guys on the ballot stand a chance, do you?). We have a female socialist as Governor of Michigan, and Michigan's "choice" for the Democrat nominee will also be another female socialist. What is going on, people?!?!

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #12 -- TeeBone'Z

This is the twelfth entry into the Burger Battle on FentonSays.com as part of the "Eats of Fenton" video series. TeeBone'z is just over the railroad tracks off of Silver Lake Road in Fenton, Michigan. We've generally not been thrilled with the service here, but on this day the service was perfect. And the burger, well, the burger was absolutely amazing! One half pounder stacked with great toppings, and for a couple of bucks more you can get it with a side of onion rings. In our experience, it is hard to find perfect onion rings. TeeBone'Z had them! Perfect, golden, crispy onion rings where the onion doesn't pull out and slap you on the lip when you bite into them. We featured their half pound burger, but we also have a quick clip of their version of a "slider." It was all good. You'll enjoy this!

Fenton is a Winter Wonderland

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Fenton, Michigan is now covered in a fresh blanket of that white powdery substance called snow. The last couple of days has been the second snow dump session of the season. We're guessing Mt. Holly and Mt. Brighton are loving this.

The first big snow of the season was on December 16, 2007. The Fenton area got nearly a foot of snow! Schools were obviously closed.

In this article, FentonSays also presents a video from the Flint Journal, documenting the December snow season and all of the fun us Michiganders are able to enjoy this time of year. Today is a good day to huddle up inside, watch this video presentation and perhaps even dig back through the FentonSays archives (links in the left column) to reminisce a little.

Snow ball fights, building snow forts, skiing, sledding, tobogganing, making snow angels ... whatever your favorite winter activity, be safe out there!!
