We have no special requirements at all. Our center told us just to double-bag the tubing and put it in with the regular trash; our city has no requirement that we even use red 'biohazard' bags. The solution we just dump down the drain or use to water our shrubbery.

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.

The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty. The glass is just twice as large as it needs to be.

The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
