Seems like dymo tape looses it's stick more than it use to. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Dani Pagador via Cookinginthedark Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2020 10:40 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Dani Pagador <pocketfulofs...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Labeling problem
That's why I went with the sewing elastic. It lets me make use of dymo tape that has lost its stick but can still be brailled on; I just make the label and don't peel off the backing. Then there's that I always seem to run out of stuff in the middle of a project, and Ben Franklin and Office Depot are a lot closer than blind specialty sites, though I do appreciate the sites. I'm just a little bit too distractable, so if I'm in the middle of an organize-the-kitchen-and-pantry fit, I'd better take advantage of that energy while it's there; having to wait for two weeks for Free Matter breaks my stride, and who knows when I'll get that kind of energy again? More Later, Dani P.S. Amazon sells the elastic in a big roll. I'm good to go for at least a year.
