Things that are already made that you can make others things out of...

Did that make any sense? At all?

Is there a list that you guys on here like that? Lets say, a used and broken CD could make a servicable knife or cutting tool. Or a plastic bag could be used to carry stuff in. Things like that... Say you were REALLY REALLY lost in the woods, or the desert, or rainforest, without ANYTHING. (aside from the clothes on your back) What kind of garbage could you find and reuse?

It's the multi-use sticky. You'll find a LOT of information here:

How about Preparation H?

It reduces swelling below the eyes, and it keeps flies away.

You can refill the empty tube with peanut butter.

Low on toothpaste? Just pinch your nose tight and brush away!

It does a great job as a facial makeup base. Ask Rick!

It's great for decorating cakes.

Find another member to be a pain in the @ss? Just shove some up there for a bit of relief.

Can anyone think of any other uses?

Ken, that's wrong on soooo many levels.

Actually....yes. It is about the best thing you can use to take the pain out of minor burns!
(An old mechanic taught me that one.)

Actually, it doesn't. The Canadian version does, however. Preparation H was put on notice that folks were using it for that. But instead of incurring the cost of going through the FDA testing so they could sell the product for that, they reformulated it. The reformulated version is sold in the US while the older version is sold in Canada.

Well, at least you know I don't use the stuff. It's nice to be a perfect A---hole!

Oh come on. No one is perfect!

Actually, Pal, I think the reason we can be sure that Ken hasn't used prep H is because he's afraid that if he rubbed some on he'd disappear in 3 to 5 days.

(This is just too easy some days)

Be grateful for life's little gifts.

I opened this door wide enough for you guys to drive a tractor-trailer through it. I'm just surprised it wasn't a caravan........

I figured that you had already put me on your "ignore" list, for picking on you so much......Besides, this one was just too easy.

(So I resisted making any jokes about you previously being 6'2".) LOL
