So what have you used fishing line for ?

Besides fishing, what creative uses have you come up with for fishing line.

Here's (3) of mine:
1) mending window screens
2) stitching a tear in a tent
3) squirrel proofing a bird feeder (hanging the bird feeder from the line, the squirrels just can't get a foothold)

Talking retriever for hunting dog

i take a heavy piece of canvas and wrap up a clothesline rope wrapped in shrink wrap plastic which i roll up...real tight then i sew it on the seam and on the ends.... you can really wing it out there and it'll last forever.

in spring i'm gonna make a 150 foot long dog run out of 30 pound test.

I have a Jetta that has a distributor cap on it that is a pain to get latched back on. Whenever I check or replace it I use 40lb test to pull up on the spring clamp that I cannot get to with a screwdriver or other tool - works pretty good.

Have been using it for picture frames too...

I hang christmas wreaths with it too.

Recently the handle fell off the lint screen on the clothes dryer. I replaced the handle with a monofilament leader.

Not what I used it for but what my sister-in-law found

Several years ago my sister-in-law was working for the state of Texas in a border town after having received her nurse midwife practitioner degree from Baylor. Most of the time the clinic just did minor surgeries that involved OB GYN stuff that my sister-in-law handled. One day during her shift a young Mexican woman came in. She was in an extreme pain Dee said. Very high temp. and a tremendous amount of discomfort in her abdomen and pevic area. Extremely distended andomen. Up on the table with feet in stirups my sister-in-law begins her exam. Inside this poor girls vagina was what looked like mono sticking out front the wall of her uterous. My siser-in-law touch it and the cry of pain indicated that this is where the infection and everything else wrong with this girl originated from. She had a cesarean in Mexico as it turned out and the only thing whoever it was that did the operation had to stitch the girl up with was about 20 # mono. I didn't rear anybody else post but I bet this one takes the cake. The girl was ship off to Houston to be operated on.
