Duct tape is a must have!
LOL! It's actually duct tape with a T, but there is a brand name called Duck Tape because that's what everyone calls it! :)
What is it NOT good for? We just used it to cover our back window on our van with plastic, and just yesterday I used it to make a homemade kite! You can literally use it for nearly everything! I love duct tape!
I wonder why no one has put that on a t-shirt yet? LOL!
LOL, I know it is called duct tape, but I didn't have a second thought about calling it that, lol. We grew up calling it duck tape. LOL, I guess I should have used its real name. We are watching love comes softly and it just came to that part were he walks in on her in the tub, it makes us laugh so hard, it is cute. Well, we are about to head to the store and to go get milk. Talk to you later.
Toilet paper? OUCH! I can't believe it said toilet paper!
We have a friend who does crafts w/it and she made Britt a billfold out of it.Also it said use it as your grass and forget mowing, well you can buy colored duct tape! Forget coloring it!
We used duct tape to hold down the edges of our area rug in our living room.You know how when you buy an area rug the edges always roll up on ya.Not anymore!
So, what ISN"T duct tape good for? Have you ever seen the Red Green show on PBS? We no longer have TV, so I haven't seen it in years, but he is a duct tape lover and very funny.
Thanks for your info. We, too, are preparedness minded, so I appreciate your blog very much.

Yes, it fixes nearly everything. I like the Duct Tape Ball, where everything worn MUST be made of Duct tape tuxes and dresses alike! Don't you want one?
