There is no need for the warehouse value q-tips
I am fascinated by people who shop at Costco's and Sam's club and buy in bulk to save on the unit price. Katchup bottles that you can't even lift or coffee cannisters the size of a washtub. Since I've been living on my own I rarely participate in these clubs, however one time I did buy the warehouse value q-tips and this week I finally say goodbye to them. 2 years, 3 cities (if you count fishkill ny as a city) and 4 apartments later, I can finally go to Duane Reed and get the right size for me. You can't lose them, they will follow you. I just went to q-tips website and just found out that I could have speed up the process of using the q-tips if i would have thought outside the ear. Here are a few uses they highlight: clean your cell phone, paint with them, or clean your music tapes? (a little bit of a stretch) Good luck with that marketing campaign and people please don't multitask while cleaning your ears - no joke.

I highly doubt that a bulk sized anything could fit into your smaller than a breadbasket apartment( at least the one i saw was)

This is my first comment and I thought it was about time - first of all, I think you are getting better with each entry (I do enjoy the more positive than negatives). I am looking forward to Christmas in Highland and the trip to Oswego. Pete - do you promise we can talk more about blogs? Just what I wanted for the holidays . . . a little geeking out!!

Not only do I still have my industrial size Q-Tip stash from my Syracuse days but I have since inherited Kati's supply from NH. Anyone up for a little ear cleaning par-tay? Somethings just shouldn't be "that" bulk.
