Windmills and water mills are truly the wonders of an
earlier era, the wooden technology of yesteryear.
To us, they may be graceful and charming relics. To the
colonists, however, they were a vital necessity. Colonial
craftsmen constructed them to mill grain, saw wood, pump
water, and do various other jobs. Furthermore, the mill was
the gathering place for the villagers. While they waited for
their grain to be milled, the villagers exchanged news and
gossip and stories. Millers were well respected not only for
their mill s output but also for their own weather forecasts,
knowledge of engines and machines, and, of course,
up-to-date news.
Long Island is an ideal place for catching the steady wind
from the ocean and bays: 125 miles long, narrow only
20 miles across at its widest, and relatively flat. Thus, many
windmills were built here and still exist here, particularly
at the island s east end. As a matter of fact, the south fork
of eastern Long Island contains the greatest number of
surviving windmills in the United States. Before 1700,
Long Island also had many water mills, some of them
powered by the tide."

Works and safe!
Size: 5 Quart, Unit Count: 1.0
Good sharps container. Fits typical diabetic syringes perfectly. It also fits zepbound auto-injection pens, but they are a little more difficult to cram into the opening so I took off a star for that.

Excellent size
Excellent for prescription needle disposal. The containers provided by my pharmacy are too small and don't hold all of my used prescription supplies. Lid closes easily and keeps everyone safe from accidental insulin injections!

XS fit well 5’3” 105lbs.
Size: X-Small, Color: Ceil Blue
Ordered these in XS. I’m 5’3” 105lbs and always buy pants in petite length. I’m around a 26” waist. The drawstring makes the pants easily adjustable and the length is a little long but will be fine with thicker sneakers on. Will be keeping! And I love the neon orange drawstring.

Fit/Feel
Size: X-Small, Color: Navy
I have ordered other medline scrubs from other sellers and these particular pants are by far the best fit and the best feel. The quality of this fabric is not only extremely comfortable, but also makes the pants fall/fit differently around the hips and waistline. By far the best medline scrubs I have ever bought. Now I'm trying to find the exact match for the tops. For others looking to buy medline scrubs: I have a very athletic body type, so hospital grade scrubs fit me best, and that's why I choose medline. Others such as grey's anatomy and the like tend to be too snug around my hips and thighs and look unprofessional. So keep that in mind if you're not the athletic body type or if hospital surgical scrubs don't fit your style
