Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for February 01, 2022

I have a cup sitting on the counter with some used twist ties in it. Just in case this happens.

We always have too many. My wife throws out the old gnarly ones and often grabs more at the produce stand.

It’s with the socks…

That happens often here. Half a plastic tab sometimes. Worries me when making a Spanish omelet. Did I caramelize that thing?

How about just get a used twist tie from the junk drawer?

My countertop camouflages twisty ties. But it also hides crumbs.

It’s wrapped around your finger, so you wouldn’t forget where you put it..

I have bag clips in a drawer which work really well and last a long long time.

I hate those little things and throw them away as soon as I open the bread bag the first time. Just fold the bag under when you lay it down.

I’ve got 8 or 10 in my breadbox. Come on over and grab a few.

i always keep a spare

I once had one show up in the microwave. Quite the lightening show inside. And = it fused onto the bottom of my melamine plate.

Cats. Mum’s Sheba is convinced she’s saving us from the Q-Tip Invasion, as well as their allies, the Bread Tag Army!

Sounds Fair to me.

They end up at my place. I always seem to have about 200 of them in the little catch-all box in back of the coffee maker and since I hardly ever buy bread, I have no idea where they come from.

You’re beginning to think like a ReTrumpican….

Clothespins work great, last forever, and are dirt cheap. They’re easier to put on and take off than either twist ties or the flat plastic thingies, which go in the trash the first time I open a new loaf.

It tends to blend into the counter top due to the color.

Well – I’m glad somebody figured that out !

Mine take off for the nooks and crannies.

Ah yes, she says nodding her head. Just like the socks in the dryer.

I use mine to tie wires together behind my TV and computer.
