If you ran out of paper, what would you write on?

hi beautyqueen I always use a sheet of notebook paper for lists, sometimes an old envelope but I have ooodles of paper as I am an unpublished writer so keep a goodly supply on hand at all times even typing paper altho I dont have a typewriter any more just use my computer. microsoft word does it for me.

This always happens to me! LOL! When I cannot find any extra paper in my bag,like you, I look for an envelope. If I can't find any, I use my cellphone then I set an alarm to remind me I wrote something. It's actually very useful. Since then, I always make sure I have a small notebook in my bag for anything I need.

I learned at a very early age that small things can easily be written on small pieces of paper. When I write a throw-away thing such as a groccey list which will only be disposed of after I use i, on a piece of scrap paper, I am recycling. I am not goig o spend money on fresh paper just to use for things that I am going to throw out, anyway.

Dear friend, There were times in our place people used to write on dry leafs and store it. Some used to write on bricks may be on pots and now if I do not get papers I may use dry leafs and mostly I use word in computer. The most preferred now arenote pad or word.

Beauty..that wouldn't ever happen..not only do i buy lots of notepads and jot things down constantly but keep them in every room and carry one in my purse..alot of my friends tend to send me Kitty notepads too..somehow they think i like Kitty's..LOL

I prefer actual piece of paper too and i have lots of notebooks. do you think one day people will stop using paper? what a nightmare! i love paper! when i ran out of paper, which highly unlikely to happen, i write on my palm.

These small notes you are referring too are called 'catbells' in Dutch, I think it's a very funny word for it; but that on the side. I have this problem all the time and I will use one of my businesscards to write on, an old envelope, notepad on the pc, the back of empty cardbord boxes, my schooldiary, and basicly anything else that could pass for a piece of paper, lol! . Sometimes it's just easier and faster to use a piece of paper, it will take you much longer to write things down on the pc and print them and it's a good thing because if we don't write anymore we get a less pretty handwriting and handwriting can tell you a lot about a person. They actually can tell if a child has autism from handwriting and they also use it in investigations by the CIA. You can get a degree in analyzing handwriting.

I would use anything available. I Have used napkins, business cards and receipts to write notes on. But usually I have a small notebook available for such use.

I suppose I would use an envelope, but that is made of paper so that would mean I would have to type the message on the computer or get out my digital recorder and say the message in there. If you were talking about a notepad or a letterhead, or some scratch pads, then anything that I can write on that is made of paper will do.

Well, when I run out of paper, I would pick anything that I could write on and transfer them to their proper place later on. It could be a napkin. Or the back of a receipt. Or even a bus ticket. Most times, If I were at a computer, I would use either a notepad or a wordpad to type it out. Or any other word or text application that is convenient at the time. Otherwise, if I have my PDA with me, it would be transcribed into a notepad and saved as a file till I refer to it later.

Hi beautyqueen, I always have a lot of paper around and I've never thought that I might run out. I guess paper, like many other things, will eventually be a thing of the past, as more and more people will start making notes electronically. I am sure that there are a lot of people who probably do that now. Blessings.

Have an idea in mind or taking down an important telephone number? I use my cell phone to take down some notes. But it's a bit disgusting for keying-in the letters and the characters means a life time. What if it is so important and you don't wanna miss a thing or any numbers. Worse comes to worst, and there is really nothing left, I will use my palm.

If I'm near a computer, I'll use the notepad application. If not, I have the bad habit of writing on my arm. Though I don't see anything wrong with it, personally.

i will then make a note in my mobile. i generally use my mobile for noting some thing down because its easier to lose the paper written on but not the mobile. we can even send that note as a message to somebody else instantly.

I rarely do not have a piece of paper nearby unless I am in the car. (I just bought 30 notebooks at Walmart last week.)I really should have a little notepad in the car. If I do not have paper handy then I will write on the back of an envelope or even on a napkin or paper towel.

I use envelopes, flyers, old receipts, a white board on my fridge. I've even been known to make a note on my hand or arm. I like clean white paper really. I also will send myself an email.

Hello beauty queen, if i run out of paper, i usually scribble on my palm if its a short note, if its lengthy then i try to find a piece of paper.

I have lots of receipts crammed in my bag. Sometimes I just forget to throw them away. If there's a number or something important I need to take note, I would write it on the back of the receipt if I run out of paper. If I couldn't store it on my cellphone's Drafts folder, it'd be on the back of the receipt.

I also write on the backs of envelopes sometimes! I really don't care for actual paper, I'll use post-it notes and sometimes even napkins, even napkins but those are a little more difficult to write on! Usually I try to find anything I can write on when I think of something because not only do I know I'll forget it, but I'll get mad at myself because I can't remember!

I have never thought about it but I am sere I would not prefer any thing else than paper , I also don't know y.. but i guess it is really hard to break habit... I always you a paper if i am suppose to write something ,but usually i prefer to memories all the stuff , as it is said that one must trust its memory to get fullest out of it... still ans to the q. is that i will may be write on my palm ....
