She'll out live me easy.

In our house we've gathered quite the collection of Left-handed and universal items. Those left handed scissors are hard to use, now I know what she goes through in the right-handed world.

Max, you crack me up.

I'll have you know, though, that these packets are invaluable when you're broke. I've gone into convenience stores just to grab handfuls, though I do it stealthily. See also: salt and pepper packets, creamers (can double as milk if absolutely necessary), napkins, butter pats, mini jellies, and plastic silverware, which is bad for the environment but saves you money on dishwashing soap and those annoying disposable sponges.

You know those disposable food containers sold in stored? I think they are made by Glad. People act like they are gold. They value them more than their Tupperware! Whenever I see someone using them, I'll ask if they are going to throw them away, and they always say they're going to keep them.

Oh, just thought of one...

CD wrappers. Hate 'em!
