It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. I think that improvising is a form of invention, at least in some cases anyway. I am sure that at some point we all improvise in some way. There have been times when I would be fishing and wanted an extra fishing pole, so I would use a limber limb from a nearby tree. I also improvise by using the bag I get groceries in as trash bags in the bathroom or automobile. So tell me, what are some of the ways that you have improvised on things?

Too me this is a hard question because, I am sure that everyday EVERYone improvises, even if they don't realize. And the smallest of improvises are the best. Wish i could think of some.

I agree, I think that sometimes we are used to doing it that we don't think of it as improvising.

You can use a piece of tape and small piece of tissue if you don't have a bandaid. Guess who told me that?

Off hand I can't think of any but I know what you mean...well actually this morning I was going to play musical chairs with my granddaughter and didn't want to bring down the cd player from my studio so I got a musical Mother's day card and you open the card and it just plays for a few seconds and that was just about right. She didn't know when it was going to stop...all she knew is she loved playing the game! LOL

Musical chairs is a fun game for the little ones like that, and using a musical was a great idea.

I have used a trash bag to cover myself from the rain several times when I did not have umbrellas/ raincoats. I have torn sheets to use when I could not get my hand on bandages. I have had to improvise on several occasions. When you are in the nursing arena sometimes you do have to improvise quite a bit.

I have used newspapers as well as trash bags for umbrellas. Those torn sheets would definitely make good bandages too.

I do it all the time around the hous as you know, but right this minute my mind is a total blank. When you get up to go to work you can remind me of some of them and i will revisit this discussion.

I think that a lot of times we are so used to improvising that we just take it for granted and don't think of it as improvising.
