Neat reusing ideas

Oh lol I was referencing that little poem :

Love to eat them mousies,
Mousies what I love to eat.
Bite they little heads off...
Nibble on they tiny feet.-- B. Kliban

Anytime someone discusses the idea of harming mice, it makes me think of Lennie and then I become sad.

That's a good idea. I keep forgetting and keep putting my old bottles in the recycling bin. You can also use those little clips on the ends of plastic clothes hangers as a way to seal food bags.

I was looking at ridiculously expensive dog clothing yesterday and it occurred to me that some of the jumpers looked like hot water bottle covers so I made Molly a jumper out of a hot water bottle cover. She feels the cold so I'm going to order some cheap hot water bottle covers to make her a whole wardrobe.

Too cute!

So sad, I'm sorry! Just a little cat poem.

It's okay. I don't become too overly emotional or anything.

But that was a really sad book.

I agree, I cried my head off! (I do become emotional )

I was in school so I couldn't, but if I wasn't I certainly would have.

I was washing out some two-pint plastic strawberry packages when I noticed how good they would be for mini greenhouse seed starters. They already have drainage holes, are clear, have lids, and will fit on the windowsills.

Does anyone have any recommendations on using old calendars? I buy a rabbit rescue calendar every year, and have a few old ones I kept because the pictures are cute. It seems a shame to pitch them in the recycling, but I don't know what else to do with them.

Cut out the pictures and put them in frames for art. Or use them to cover a gift box. Or cut out the rabbit head (out of the picture) and have your bunnies stick their head thru it and take photos. If you do that last suggestion, I want to see the photos! hehehehe

I have a whole bunch of these:

and have no use for them. Does anyone have a suggestion for what I can do with them besides using them as coasters? (and before I give up and just throw them out)

My friend makes envelopes out of old calendars/atlas/etc. She just made or got a template somewhere and traces and cuts them out.

Store them in a safe and forget about them. In 20 or so years they'll be pretty damn neat, and perhaps worth something.

Same here. I actually have pictures and information on them that I want to get off.

Do you have access to a computer with a floppy drive? If so, it seems easy enough. Just pop them in, insert a flash drive, and save the information on the floppies to the flash drive.

Nope thats the problem. Computers with floppy drives no longer exist. As far as I know anyways.

There are still some older models around with floppy drives. My mother has an older desktop PC with a floppy drive.

Worse comes to worst, you can spend a little money and buy a cheap external floppy drive. I know that's not the best solution. Maybe there's some business or company around that can convert the data on floppies to a different memory device.

You could take apart an envelope and use it as a template, or trace it on some cardboard for a sturdier template.
