Trying to Recycle

OK, as I am going to be moving apartments in the near future I thought I would take a moment and figure out how to get rid of my old VHS tapes. I have a few of them that were originally blank that I used for taping shows during the week. I figured that throwing them into the trash wasn't the wisest idea so I got online to see where/how to donate the old tapes. I found the craziest idea. Someone has suggested knitting/crocheting a purse out of the actual tape part. There was an entire website to show a person how to take the cover off, then put two of the wheels side by side so that there would be a double thickness to work with. It was also recommended that some yarn or string be used as decoration. Now come on! As if I don't have enough to do at the moment. I need to quilt my monochromatic quilt, start my quilt challenge, pack up an apartment, move, clean an apartment, and oh yeah, start work. Not to mention the fact that having a knitted purse from VHS tape might deter any guy that might want to ask me out. I can just image that conversation. (Where did you get the purse? Oh I just sat down and knitted it right up using the tape from the VHS') :-)
P.S. The previous part of my day was just as weird, but I'll write more about that later.
