Advice

wish I could help you Brynnie, but SF area is out of my ken

I'm trying to learn to plan long and acquire patience.

any advice for those with a congenitally short fuse and shallow view?

i have a big box of more than 40 VHS video tapes. apparently nobody wants them so i can't sell them, any good ideas?

so, i thought of crocheting handbags out of the tape but a hungover viking told me that's been done before and therefore not interesting, plus, there aren't big enough nerds around to buy one.

good ideas anyone??

[MoJoRiSin]

good question! I was thinking if we all chipped in (and used them for bricks) we could build Ze a small cottage : )
WHICH HE DESERVES!

.......aka Basho ; )

[Frieda]

40 tapes makes a really small cottage

more like a dollhouse

[MoJoRiSin]

Well when I said we all would chip in I meant our
VHS Video Cassettes
as well as
our time and
.no trouble

[Frieda]

ohh
well do you have any then?

[MoJoRiSin]

I am the mother of a 15 yo
born in 1993
here in the US
I bet if I asked all of the 15yo
in our small town to donate their old
worthless

ones
we would have at least a million.

[Frieda]

maybe we can build an apartment building for the whole zeboard

[MoJoRiSin]

yes and if that got old we could rent it out and go on tour with a rok and roll band. (<not an original idea)

[Frieda]

^a cool idea though
i'm all for it

maybe we can do both actually-- like a vhs camper kind of thing

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

or maybe lukku could make something from them and burn it next year

[Frieda]

i think they're too toxic for that.. would be nice though

[Stephi_B]

^Pffft toxic, I got a license for toxics, so I burn the thing & you other pyrippies stand back & mind your gas masks are on....

The non-toxic idea: You could make a curtain out of them. You cut strips from it, maybe of different lengths & dunno connect them with small plastic/metal rings.
Oh and if you got really good films on VHS keep them for me, I still have a VHS recorder.... yes, I still have a VHS recorder ....
