I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

This sounds like a job for your husband.

Flea is wise!

My grandmother has strict separation between hand towel and dish towel, and for whatever reason, I couldn't remember which was which.

So does my mom, and I sort of do, too. They have distinct textures, though - hand towels are fuzzy or waffle-weave, dish towels are smooth. I once had a roommate that kept trying to use cloth napkins and placemats for dish towels. On the placemat, I had to ask her, "Didn't you notice that it wasn't very absorbent?" She just thought it was a crappy towel.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not dry dishes so all kitchen towels become hand towels/hot pot holders/snap atthe kid or cat towels.

Cash - I'd just use the packing tape, or staples.

Ann, that's a ferret.

My mother was big on re-using Ziploc bags. They were fairly easy to wash, a major pain to dry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I totally get it -- and also, the different towels go in different places in her kitchen! It was just one of those things that, as a kid, I couldn't care enough about to get.

For drying plastic bags, I have one of these: [link]

But sometimes I get lazy and toss them.

I try to avoid them when I can.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My MiL will only use a towel ONCE. This includes hand and dishtowels. One of the reasons her family refers to her as "The Queen of England."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For plastic bags, I usually re-use for the same thing as long as possible -- like, I have cheese in a ziploc in my fridge, and just put the new cheese in the same bag.

This actually fits my recurring theme of being "green" more out of laziness and/or cheapness than anything else.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This sounds like a job for your husband.

I just sent him an email telling him to pick some up on the way home!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a ziploc bag fiend. I really should re-use. Or at least recycle more consistently--I tend to only recycle plastic food containers I bought food in, for some reason.

Actually, most of my ziploc use is non-food. Office supplies! Peripherals and cables!

We can't recycle those here, only plastic bottles.
