I was cycling through the internet today, as I do periodically, when I popped in at this website. It's quite absorbing, and it truly goes with the flow of making crafts with -- shall we say -- unconventional household objects: www.tamponcrafts.com

Great gifts for menses and womenses alike! (and I'm not stringing you along.)

As with popsicle sticks, it's best in this case to avoid the previously-used item when making a craft project out of it. :-)

That wig was just disturbing. I like the gun though.

Oh dear, blow gun... blow gun... so tempting to toddle over to the Gnu Laws thread and make a mention.

"That wig was just disturbing."

Yeah! looked like it was made out of baked liver.

The Menorah is downright scary.

I...ummm...think I'll stick to popsicle sticks and chopsticks. (though that gun might do a good job of breaking up fights....with laughter.

I don't care if they're unused -- I am NOT touching my lips to the pan flute made out of Tampax applicators!!! Bluchhh.

The menorah is indeed scary, but the bleeding-heart earrings are really disturbing. The red paint looks wayyyyy too authentic.

The mind is a complex thing, huh? We have built-in resistance to some things.

(I remember a quote from years ago, saying: "We go around all day swallowing our saliva...but suppose someone asked you to spit in a glass, and then drink it?")

Actually, when I have nausea say from tummy bug, my own saliva helps to ease it better than pepto bismol.

I know that my salivary glands over produce when I am nauseated. My first reaction is to spit it out, but if I keep swallowing my spit, the nausea calms down.

I wonder if the body produces chemicals or enzymes (delivered through saliva) for this purpose?


For US peeps, bogies = boogers.

Ear wax and belly button lint, smell better than they taste.
