But it was Awesome!... Awesomely dissapointing! Useful as toilet paper if
you run out, yeah! it has 101 uses! Telephone jotting paper, fold it into a
special way and use as a tooth pick, give to the kids who love wrapping
paper, use it as doggy/kitty liner, put dried flowers inside, make paper
aeroplanes, cut it to make origami? lego style, also Tangrams, roll it into
a ball and give to the dog, paper mache, paint liner, drink coasters, swap
with someone overseas for one of their AWESOME issues (that's what I am
doing since I have three), use as wrapping paper, packing paper, drawer
liners, shoe polishers/scuffers, placemats, make paper fans, fold longways
to make a fly swatter, fold it out and sit on while gardening, etc etc etc
