After I started to get fed up with them I put "RETURN TO SENDER" on them and dropped them in the "Outgoing Mail" box.

No more so far. ;)

I use them as birthday gifts for close friends and relatives. You should see the joy in a person's eyes when they tear open that wrapping and see a brand-spankin' new AOL CD. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it...

try using it as a frisbee with your dog if it's fairly small, throw it across the room so it will hit the floor. The dog will runupandtryto pick it up, but won't be able to, it's lying flat on the ground. The dog will sit there forever trying to get it. However, be careful, a dog with strong jaws will crack the cd with ease, can't let them bite it.

My mom makes ornaments out of them.

One of my friends did do something creative with them though.
He melted each side to another cd.
He had about 15 cd's melted at the sides to one another and it formed a little tower.

&quot;See you in hell, AOL CD...&quot; <gunshot>

Just like in the Simpsons, when Homer gets his gun... :)

My friend makes nice little thingys in art class out of them. Sometimes he uses a woodburner and sometimes he paints them pretty colors:)
