Dear Readers,
Isn’t Duct Tape a marvelous invention? Please don’t pronounce that as “duck” tape. It’s so plebeian.
It has so many handy uses. Why, I can’t even begin to name them all; but you should always keep a roll of duct tape handy.
Are you going on an art walk with your friends (trust me, they are not your friends if they are making you walk!)? Protect your tender tootsies with a thin strip of duct tape so you won’t get blisters!
Are you out of bandaids, but have an “ouchie?” Pull out that duct tape! You can put a cotton ball over your wound and secure it with a strip of duct tape. I don’t recommend this for pimples on your face, however. A girl has to have some kind of dignity.
Did you go out in the woods and get a tick? Disgusting! What were you doing in the woods? Don’t tell me, I don’t want to know!
Well, to get rid of that little sucker, just put a strip of duct tape over him (making sure that the tape is in contact with the tick!). Give it a yank, and that unwanted visitor is gone.
Are your slippers falling apart? You can re-sole them using duct tape! Cut strips of tape long enough to cover the length of the shoe, overlap each strip. Then, trim around the edges! Isn’t that clever? Now, I hope you don’t have pets, because that pet hair will stick to your shoes. Put on your big girl panties and deal with it! Don’t you ever vacuum?
Are those delightful little urchins bored? Get out your duct tape and wad up strips of it to make them a ball! They can play hackey sack or a nice game of catch.
You can even use duct tape to make a cat toy! Cats are so stupid that they will play with anything. And, you can have hours of fun watching them try to get it out of their mouths, if you leave the sticky side out!
Didn’t I tell you that duct tape is wonderful? I bet you have thought of a million uses for it yourself. You can share, I don’t mind.
One thing to remember, though. If you use these ideas, you leave no room for doubt. Using duct tape does not mean that you “might” be a redneck.
You are!
Kiss, Kiss!
Dora
