Well now lets see....
I would say that the lifespan of a rubber band could be best compared to
a Tick on a hound. A tick gets seen it gets gone. The same could be said
for a rubber band. If ya are lookin for a true light up over this
question, pose it to the Archives list.

Good morning, I've been asked to do some research on the lifespan of a
rubberband!  I have been a long-time lurker of the listserv and when
asked to do this "research" I thought of all of you right away.  Forgive
me if my question seems strange.
As you know, rubberbands break and turn into dried up looking worms
after a while.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of a type of rubberband or
band that has a longer lifespan.  Typically, records are stored within
file folders but for the occassional ones that are not I'm wondering if
anyone has any suggestions. (Other than imaging).

I appreciate your feedback here in hot and humid Wisconsin.

Jeanne
