It seems like I'm always out of milk. I don't know where it's all going, but whenever I feel the need for Golden Grahams, it never fails.

I would have said VCR tapes, but since I picked up my TV Card and started recording them on my hard drive, I don't think I've touched the VCR. Back in the day, though, you'd always here my saying "Don't we have any blank tapes? I'm not taping over my collection of You Can't Do That On Television!"

Milk and beer.

Who still buys garbage bags that require twist ties? I though pretty much every company had gone to the bags with flaps or handles that you can tie closed without the need for a piece of wire covered in paper that will likely someday choke and kill a poor defenseless bird ;)

Chris, Chicago's recycling bags come with twist ties due to a lack of flaps. I've also had bags with built-in flaps, but as I mentioned up there in the Ping, I'm not the best when it comes to tying them (or anything, really.)

I'm supossed to read these things before I comment? (grin)

I'm the exact opposite - anything I close with a twist tie is doomed to fall open.

Just a thought - I bet you can go to the dollar store and get a big bag of very cheap garbabge bags that are too thin to actually be uselful. Keep the twist ties and throw away the bags.

Bread!

Helpful Hint: save the twist ties from bread and use them to cinch your trash bags!

Milk.

It's not that I'm actually out of it. It's just that it's turned to Melk (TM).

How could you not have any twist ties!? I have hundreds of them. We get them all the time but never use them for anything. Hey, Paul, let's make a deal... a web site for some twist ties.

SOCKS! where do they go after you wash them. I get ready to put them in the dryer and where did they go? I buy bags and bags of socks every year but never have discovered where they walk off to. Any ideas?

Dave-
Any chance of getting some episodes of "You Can't Do That on Television" off of you?

Breakfast bars - those little morning treats from Kellog or whatever? It never fails but the mornings I'm running late and need to grab a quick breakfast, I will reach into the box and find it empty, empty, empty. Aargh!

Matt --

I wouldn't mind sharing, but some of my stuff is in storage in Virginia, and alas, the tapes are part of it. Next time I'm down, I'll make sure to get them and then we can commence trading. My collection isn't that deep, but for me, they just bring back SO many memories. :)

Dave -- I was going to ask the same thing... that would be way cool.

And Matt and I both live in VA, so that could help. :)

Missing socks go into the Hose-zone layer.

Do you have to clean the hose-zone layer?........ Could be why the washer drains slower. I thought it might be the missing hamster that was causing all the problems.
