Styrofoam peanuts — what to do, what to do?

[Oeditpus Rex]

I hate to throw 'em in the garbage, but how to recycle 'em? :shrug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

1. Oooh ooh!

Put them underwater and watch them expand like mad! (Probably not environmentally conscious, but...)

On edit, thanks to mother, I realized these are not starch based. :eyes:

[ThomCat]

10. Damn. Mom's are always spoiling the fun.

x(

[LadyoftheRabbits]

12. n/k

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Are you guys in the same room?

Or close enough where she can see your posts and holler stuff like "Styrofoam isn't starch-based"?

:rofl:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

13. Uh, yes....

:P

[lizziegrace]

15. Uh, yeah, she's about 8 feet from me...

She said she replied, I read it and I told her the ones that melt are starch based. :)

:rofl:

(She says not far enough away.)

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. That's totally hilarious

My ex and I used to be in the same chat room while like eight feet apart. I'd type something and she'd laugh a second later.

It was kinda like dinner theatre. :7

[lizziegrace]

19. But you didn't have to dress up

and go out! :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. You ain't from here, are ya?

Around these parts, folks go to dinner theatre in T-shirts, shorts and sandals.

I don't think they understand that "dinner theatre" does not mean a movie.

[lizziegrace]

26. Must be my Midwestern sensibilities

makeup is always worn in public and your ratty clothes are for yard work...

:)

[lizziegrace]

27. Or maybe it's the 20 years in the south.

:shrug:

2. Ever mail packages of your own? Reuse 'em.

Other than that... :shrug:

[lizziegrace]

3. A Mailboxes, Etc or a UPS Store will take them

and reuse them. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. I wondered about that

How come they don't advertise stuff like that? :shrug:

[lizziegrace]

7. I don't know why...

You could let Lucy play in them. You'll be picking them out of her fur for days...

:)

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. Jump in the box and pretend it's snow?

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Ya silly

:rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. What?

That's what I would do. :7

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. You're young and capricious

I'm old and... not capricious. x(

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. Old, shmold.

Go play in the snow! :silly:

[lizziegrace]

16. I agree

Go play in the snow!

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. I would...

But there's not enough of it. :cry:

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. Awwwww

I'm sorry. :hug:



Then I would do either what lizziegrace or Nicole said. :7

17. Do you garden?

I use them in the bottom of big flower pots so they use less soil. That makes them a lot lighter & easier to move around.

[txwhitedove]

21. Excellent idea, for drainage area instead of rocks....

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. There's a thought

I don't garden, but it's still a thought. :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. I take mine to the local UPS Store......

They are always very happy to have them!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

28. Mail 'em to Bush.

He's the "decider," ya know. :hi:
