Yes, it has been awhile... but I did blog during the month of March. It was a poetry blog - one entry per day. A challenge I managed to accomplish, though I did have to do a few days at a time, then put them in as separate entries, but still... Here is it if you want to check it out:

Blog City - Day 1599

Since FivetricksterTreats Author IconMail Icon likes facts on Fridays, let's give him 11 uses for a drinking straw except drinking that's too dang easy.

1. blowing paint across white paper for a cool splattered effect.
2. a tourniquet - if you are in dire need, though it would be better to use reusable heavier plastic straws for this and maybe even bind a couple together - they come in big packs and who needs that many reusable straws anyway.
3. hair rollers
4. pea shooters - a grade 7 fall pastime.
5. a stir stick for your coffee.
6. a telescope to peek through.
7. chopsticks - again the more sturdy reusable ones for this would be helpful.
8. a pointer - use this instead of your finger when reading - a book or around the room (if you are in kindergarten).
9. art material - for gluing small pieces onto your wonderful design.
10. a breathing tube if you are underwater or need a traiatomy
11. a stick to poke dead things on the beach.

Okay so all of those were not from google. But from Google I found this...

Who knew they could be so versatile.

Happy Weekend everyone!
