But how many Pokemon did you
But how many Pokemon did you catch?
Despite what it feels like,
Despite what it feels like, not everyone is playing pokemon go.. saying that I did my walk around the local area earlier :)
Congrats on getting so much done though Dorothy!
The thought of doing that many phone calls and sets of paperwork makes my head hurt.
I can't stand doing official phone calls on a good day! lol.
oh.. and this may be showing my English-ness a bit too much but what's a 'bottle run'? :)

Being rather naive, I also wondered. So go to Google's top item:
According to the Urban Dictionary (which definition I hope Dorothy is not using), a "bottle run" is "To walk casually into the alcohol aisle of any grocery store and proceed to take a bottle, usually Jack Daniels, and walk out of the store like nothing happened." Variants including stealing by the cart load.

Between the wrinkles, the orthopedic shoes, and nine decades of gravity, it is really hard to be alluring. My icon, you ask? It is the last picture I allowed to escape the camera ... back before most BC authors were born.
Funny enough that's the first
Funny enough that's the first thing that came to mind, more buying then stealing in this case but still..
I assume its like recycling bottles in some way from the context but I have no idea how?
We have a bottle bag we put out every Thursday for glass and plastics.
I wouldn't have a scooby where to take bottles to get rid of them otherwise, or what to do with them when I got wherever it would be.
Curiosity made ask :)
Maybe ...
Dorothy will clarify for us. Somehow, I doubt that a fine lady would fit neatly into an Urban Dictionary type definition. :)

Watson needed a lobotomy
Or rather the electronic equivalent, after IBM gave it the Urban Dictionary.
Apparently it's not kosher for Jeopardy contestants to swear.
In my neck of the woods
A bottle run is like a beer run, or a pizza run, etc. So I figured it meant she stopped at the liquor store and picked up a bottle of the beverage of her choice.
Cheers!
I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.
bottle run
a "bottle run", at least for me, is when I return empty bottles (mostly water and pop), to a recycle center for a little cash.
That sounds like ...
... the lady we know Dorothy Colleen to be! Thank you for correcting my erroneous conclusion.
Having found the Urban Dictionary definition of "bottle run," I think that I should examine my own vocabulary in the light of the perversion of the language propagated by the Urban Dictionary.

Well duh!
That's what I thought it meant! Giggles! Loving Hugs Talia
That makes a lot more sense :)
I figured as much but as far as I know we don't have recycling centers around here or anything.
It would be kind of cool to get payed for bringing empty's in honestly.
We're basically doing all the work already but they collect it from our door and don't give us anything for it lol
The idea sounds vaguely familiar, I think my Granddad used to do something like that with empty beer bottles swiped from outside pubs in the west end as a kid to get pocket money?
It's been a long time since I've thought about it though so I could be wrong.
Thank's for clarifying either way Dorothy :)
