How do you feel about the M&M's? I can't have them around as they vanish to quickly if you know what I mean.

BOB, I read your post on the biscut in the glad container and started to laugh out loud, the my wife asked me what was so funny. i told her i just read about a man that stored his biscuts in a glad container in his shop. She commented i bet they are hard as a rock when he goes to get them.Then she stopped in her tracks and said "oh hell dont you you guys have little wood things you guys call biscuts for joints or something like that? cant seem to get to much past her. had a good laugh tho.

I have no desire to upset anyone yet, where did the notion come from that M & M's disapear? Those little suckers never disapear, they just move from the container to ones hips or stomach. fjimp:D

First of all, I didn't know M&Ms came in tubes. Wife buys the 1lb sack!
The ideas for reusing containers is great. For nails and screws, I cut the tops off of plastic 1 qt. motor oil "cans". 6 across just fits in one of the shop drawers.
Plano (I think) used to sell a plastic box for a buck, about 6X10X2 with dividers. Probably for flys or small lures. I use them for router bit parts and arbors.
For as long as I can remember my dad used old Wheel bearing cups for misc. screws washers etc. He did his own mech. work on his farm equipment. He always seemed to have screws, bolts, washers and springs left over after a repair.

Some us prefer to think mm's drop in to a worm hole and come out near some black hole billions and billions of light years from here. Once they are gone some nasty vegetable fat replaces them thus it is not the fault of the mm's but can be seen as purely a physical part of the universe. Now doesn't that sound more credible?
ed
credible can be replaced my eatable for those that wish

You're correct Ed. Saw it on the Discovery channel.
