Home Economics 101

Welcome to the Home Ec Section. Matters of the family sometimes bring joy and other times bring grief. But it is never trivial: Family matters! Feel free to discuss topics such as the sanctity of marriage; the awesome responsibility of raising children; the struggles of communication problems; the grief of losing a loved one; or anything else that relates to the home and family. However, due to the more personal nature of this section, I ask that you would be especially thoughtful of the readers' feelings. My earnest hope and prayer is that the discussions in this section will help families grow in the love of Christ.

But remember, always play by the rules: here

  • Altoids

    So I like Altoids and I buy them by the 12 pack to keep in my car as a snack.

    Anywhooo over the last year I have ended up with a ton of empty altoid tins. They are too cool to toss away.

    I want some suggestions on what to do with them, make out of them, used them for. And don't bother with the stuff you can find by googling. I checked out most of them and they are lame. Like
    • A box for pills
    • A mini first aid kit
    • a mini survival kit



    you can check this page out and dont bother with anything on it

    Give me some cool ideas.

    My Uncle Ray had altoids, but had them surgically removed.

        A few years back I came across a way to use an Altoids tin to make an mp3 player.

          Is THAT what was in that mason jar on his mantle?

            I would use them to keep booty in.













            In my craft room, that is really what I would use them for. They would be perfect for putting little flowers or pearls or gems, etc. in.

            Please do not send them to me, I can get my own!

              Fill them with pennies and give them to the kids at church.

                Or, if you're having a mission offering, give the empty boxes to the kids at Church, and have them fill them with coins and turn them in (a few weeks later) for the mission offering!

                  you could only get about a buck in each one.

                  And BTC... A pirate giving AWAY money? are ye daft? Besides the kids would just be mad that there wasn't any candy in the tins. "You tricked me!!"

                    Could they be used as emergency bacon storage?

                      You would never EVER want that little bacon.

                              Lay a piece of bacon by them so we can see how big they are relative to a commonly seen object.
