My aunt (who I've had a feud with for 12 years--but that's another story) sends me a birthday card every year with glitter in it. I suppose she thinks it's funny. They've gone straight into the trash without being opened for the past 10 years.

I have a five year old daughter... glitter makes up a large percentage of the air I breathe.

Always thought it would be a brilliant idea to open a de-glittering kiosk at McCarran Airport.

Didja know that if you get on the roof and sprinkle a little glitter into the air ducts (past the filters), it really freaks out the movie-goers and no one can tell what it is or where it's coming from? Takes a long time for it to completely go away and it looks cool.
Or so I've heard.

I have a daughter that does competitive gymnastics. EVERYTHING is bedazzled or glitter. After hauling a few of them in our van, it looks like a strip club after closing time.

Does Mrs OWP read PP? If so, she may want to know why you know what the inside of a strip club looks like after closing time.

(But hey, as long as your daughter never knows--that's what's important.)

The next threshold of consumer safety could be self-dissolving biodegradable glitter.

Maybe not a good idea for kids to be around it as it currently exists.

What is glitter made of?

Well… Long story short, it’s basically shiny micro plastic. You know, as in the micro plastic that nations around the world is now forbidding, because it’s poisoning our food streams? Yep, that kind.

Don't complain to me, I had to write out over 100 Xmas cards for my employees. Every one of those cards had some type of glitter on them. The glitter was EVERYWHERE.

I looked like I was a a strip club for a month. On the desk, in the desk ,on my clothes in my shoes.

Next year I will order the cards, NO GLITTER!

we use to play jokes on each other at work years ago.

I put glitter in the air vents of one of the guys work trucks.

next I wired his brake pedal to the horn so when he pressed the brake the horn went off.


put glitter in the vents if my nephew when he got married.

Wife's grandmother did this in cards and presents, we would open anything from her not over but in the garbage can.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

LOL, fortunately she knows me well enough that I'm safe. And as Chris Rock says, the #1 job of a father is to keep his daughter off of the pole.
