And forget about sewing them get out the soccer socks and just tie the end closed. <BR/>Oh we keep to in the freezer and one out ready to microwave when heat is needed. Get a sharpie and a few rubber bands and you can turn them into bears, bunnies, or whatever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525334973892331389.post-16735140763940835432008-09-21T21:22:00.000-04:002008-09-21T21:22:00.000-04:00Great idea!

I also really liked your post on rain barrels ... the instructions were clear and "doable" for the average person. I did a quick browse of your other "green" posts and see that I'm going to have to return and do some more reading. I write a blog about easy ways that we can reduce our footprint on the earth. I've always believed that going green is also good for one's pocketbook ... I love that your site makes that connection. I enjoyed your site and will be back often.

(Literally...)<BR/><BR/>My favorite hot pad thingie is a bag of what appears to be oatmeal -- at least, that's what it smells like when you microwave it. It holds heat well, doesn't have a weird wet chemical inside to leak out, and molds nicely around your sore spots. It came from a drugstore, but I've always thought you should be able to make one. Rice is a great idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
