Mass mail: isn't it great? I like to mess with the people send them, if possible, I send their mail back to them. For added fun, fill up an envelope full of useless crap and send it to the companies that send it to you. Same difference, right?

• How about earrings? I have seen these teenagers running around with all sorts of things hanging fom all sorts of places. A CD is small in comparison.

• Skeet. I like to practice shooting. These do a great job, just throw them in the air and shot. It's inexpensive and you are doing the world a favor, one disc at a time.

• Frisbees/Pet Toys. Entertainment on a budget. It's practical, too.

• Make a friend. If Tom Hanks can name a soccer ball Wilson, then you won't get a crazy check for making a friend, literally.

• Pony tail holders. Place the CD around your hair and pull it through. This works especially well if you have thick hair.

• Bracelets. Bangle bracelets were big in the '80s, maybe this is the next big thing and we just don't realize it yet.

• Coasters. Though you have to be careful because the hole cut in the middle may allow water stains to get through.

• Christmas decorations. As expensive as presents are getting to be, it pays to cut corners some way or another. Plus, it twinkles in the lights.

There are so many great things you can do with junk. Use your imagination. The sky's the limit!
