Dress Use #?: Vent Filter
So, technically vent filter would be dress use #75 but I have thrown in the towel on keeping count. My buddy Dan gave me the suggestion in the early days of brainstorming ideas – thanks man. The final draft for the book I have been working on was turned in a couple of weeks ago and it has been officially accepted. The book will be titled “101 Uses For My Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress.” There are going to be a lot of ex-wife wedding dress applications in the book that aren’t on this blog – a lot. So it seems strange to keep counting here when the 101 applications in the book aren’t exactly the same as the ones I have posted on this blog. I consider the book to be the 101 best dress uses – my favorites. The truth is that between the blog and the book the wedding dress has already been used in approximately 120 different ways. This dress is unreal. I think it might be indestructible . . . that is as long as I don’t take Trevor’s advice and use it as a camp-fire starter. How well does silk burn anyways? I’m just a few months away from 2 years since my ex left and I feel good. Someone recently asked me if my life was back to normal or a new normal. I’m working on it. My life is so different than it was not that long ago but I’m very happy with where I’m at. I find it tough to establish really solid routines when my kids come and go each week. And I’m often shuffling work commitments around to be hands on with them 3-4 days every week and it will only get more difficult when they start their summer break. There is never a dull moment around here. So I plan to continue sharing dress applications on the blog between now and when my book comes out. Whenever I feel like we have thought of everything someone will send me an e-mail or in passing suggest something that nobody else has thought of. I really appreciate all the ideas. Some of the 101 uses that will be featured in the book came from ideas suggested here by visitors to my site which is so cool. It’s starting to heat up in Tucson which means my A/C will be working hard soon. My buddy Dan thought the wedding dress would make a nice vent filter and he was right. I have reusable filters that I need to clean regularly but they take some time to dry. If you need an interim filter while you clean yours may I suggest a wedding dress? But if your dress is as dirty as mine I don’t know that it will actually improve air quality.

    • Hilarious way to turn a horrible and cowardly breakup into a huge positive that (judging from the picture of said dress here) also recycles an ugly, overpriced and 20LB load of synthetic bad taste (if it were silk she would have kept it- women are really awful sometimes) over 100 times! Totally impressive man. There is still hope for the human race.
