The few paper ones too. I've gathered in about fifteen fabric bags now, and half are in each veehickle. :)Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-44331690054198625232008-10-31T14:07:00.000-07:002008-10-31T14:07:00.000-07:00The best use I have for the plastic bags is that I use them for when I clean out the kittie's litter boxes. I use the handles to tie them up until the next use. One bag will last the week and then I throw them away. I start a new one for the next week. The paper bags I use as a frame for the plastic bags. When I'm done, I fold up the paper bags with the plastic bags in side and that holds down the fragrance.wordsofminehttp://wordsofmine.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-92197886435721697202008-10-29T18:50:00.000-07:002008-10-29T18:50:00.000-07:00I am SO pleased &amp; proud to be amongst Obama supporters! I went camping a couple of weeks ago and was the Lone Liberal. Fortunately the Others kindly kept the political talk to a minimum, which was nice of them. We&#39;re all great friends, except during election years.<BR/><BR/>Another thing you can do with plastic bags is cut them in strips &amp; use them as ties in the yard. I&#39;m currently mad as hell because the newspaper now ALWAYS comes wrapped in a plastic bag, &amp; I just found out the carrier won&#39;t take them back &amp; reuse them (after I&#39;ve save them so carefully). Planning to call the paper and give &#39;em hell!<BR/><BR/>KateKatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707246801058979473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-35410775614278137122008-10-29T18:47:00.000-07:002008-10-29T18:47:00.000-07:00Kewl, Wendy -- both on the Obama vote (yay!) and the flagged bags. That's a good idea, by the way. Mom always had a couple of small plastic bags in her purse and they often came in handy. Can't think why I've never followed her example. It's about time, eh?Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-83222777526133852612008-10-29T16:46:00.000-07:002008-10-29T16:46:00.000-07:00I'll vote tomorrow if I can get my act together tonight on our judicial elections. Another Obama supporter here. <BR/><BR/>Dee, I love the flag fold. I now have five bag neatly tucked away in my "bag of life" that travels with me.Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09684838805174960356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-64013714712147238822008-10-29T09:42:00.000-07:002008-10-29T09:42:00.000-07:00Bonnie, why am I not surprised that you already know about the flag fold for plastic bags. You always know the neatest stuff. (grin)<BR/><BR/>Ava, yes, I did the stuff 'em in another bag routine, too. I'd end up with a bulging bag that exploded lots of wadded-up bags. (sigh) I like Bonnie's idea of keeping a folded one (or two) in the car.<BR/><BR/>Jo, it's too darned easy to get inundated with all this stuff, isn't it? Way too much information! Good thing it's almost over or we'd all explode like my over-stuffed plastic bags.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-3158819533963868432008-10-29T08:07:00.000-07:002008-10-29T08:07:00.000-07:00Yay, three good people with like minds and heart voting for Obama. Bill and I are probably a little too immersed in this campaign. We've been helping, me with phone calls, him with data entry and I've brought dinner to the staffers three times now.<BR/><BR/>But I will be ecstatic when this is over because today I'm feeling too immersed in it and just want it to be done. I blame it on Bill. He keeps sending me links to read about voting machine woes and all the attempts the GOP is trying to stiff the public about registration.

I just twist mine into little balls and put them in yet another plastic bag for storage. I do use them for everything, frying food that require a dip in flour, then in egg and in whatever else uses at least one. Of course they are used when I scoop out the litter box, and they hold garbage in the freezer till garbage pick up day. <BR/><BR/>I early voted for President Obama. And I'll be so glad when it's all over and the TV will be back to normal again. <BR/><BR/>AvaAva Southhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06984448586242720168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-19500319034692388082008-10-29T05:14:00.000-07:002008-10-29T05:14:00.000-07:00Our plastic bags get recycled with Meals On Wheels. btw I used to 'flag' fold them before we did meals. Should do it again and stick one in the glove box of vehicles.<BR/><BR/>Tues. I will hibernate. I don't think I can survive the count.Bonniehttp://mizbee.netnoreply@blogger.com
