Question from Mary Jo: I have what’s probably a dumb question, Rick.
Am I the only person that absolutely despises microfiber towels?
Every time I go shopping I see tons of them so people must be buying them.
I absolutely detest the stuff because it sticks to my hands in a really creepy way. And besides, it’s not absorbent at all!
Does anyone really like microfiber towels or am I just weird?

Question from Jessie M.: My husband and I have been recycling for years by sorting our recyclable items into separate bins and taking them to the recycling center at the county landfill.
My husband took a load off this morning but they told him they’re no longer accepting recyclable items because research has shown that the benefits of recycling aren’t worth the effort.
They ended up throwing our recyclable items into the dumpster along with the regular garbage!
We can still take our recyclable materials to a local private recycling center, but they don’t accept plastics (which is what we usually have the most of).
What’s the real story on this? Is it worthwhile to recycle or not?

Question from Margo: I signed up for the monthly Amazon Prime plan a few months ago and I love it, but now I need to cancel it for financial reasons.
I hate to give it up but I just can’t afford it right now.
Can you tell me what I need to do to cancel Amazon Prime so they’ll stop charging me every month?

Question from Gary: I’ve noticed that the Statue of Liberty is green. Not just the robe, but her skin is green too.
Why did they paint her green instead of a more natural color?

Question from Mandy: I heard a guy on the radio say you can hear the difference between hot running water and cold running water.
That sounds absolutely crazy to me. Is it true?
