    ugh I have to say I hate touching newspaper so I probably couldn't get a mental handle on anything to do with touching them

    I hadn't thought of using it underneath the high chair. Thank you, thank you, thank you! That areas *always* gets messy. I sweep all the time. Now maybe I won't have to do it as often.

    7. Use when trimming hair...place under the chair. (easier clean-up)
    8. Use as mulch. Simply lay out the sections, overlapping them in heavy mat around the plants. This provides a great way to keep the weeds out and helps keep moisture around the plants. Cover the exposed paper with compost mixture and you?ve got a well-protected garden.
    9. Use to wrap fish in.
    10. Newspaper strips can be rolled to make excellent fireplace tinder as it burns well.

    I have some uses for old newspaper that haven't been used before..
    Wrap Presents in them.
    Wrap things in them so they will not break when moving.
