I'll take good-sized glass bottles and use them for left-overs many times over, before I recycle them. I take old ripped flannel sheets and cut them into squares for any number of uses, until they are super-soft, and then I give them to my hubby for guitar-polishers.

I do that too heretoday...but I liked your idea of using flannel sheets...never thought of that...

They are about the only things he uses. Since they're quite thin when he gets them, he goes through them pretty quickly, especially as he polished the neck. He'll refer to them as the pattern on the flannel. "I need some more moon and stars", or "can you cut me up some more kittens?"

Re: Recycle Twice!

that is not only a great environmental idea, atula, but it's a wonderful safety idea. I had never thought about using old CDs as reflectors on a child and their bike. CDs would throw a bigger reflection, making it easier for cars to see the bicyclist.
