My favorite plastic glass is one that came from Mom's house (by accident) plastic with little indented circles...never scratches and will last forever. Our glass ones are all gone, I think,except for some special ones.

I have many cheap and not so cheap plastic glasses. I used to only buy tupperware. It got expensive with the kids leaving them outside or on a low surface where the dogs could chew them. Now I either pick up tupperware at a thrift store or buy new cheap plastic glasses at target or k-mart.mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-16703938326615402172013-09-26T06:19:17.040-04:002013-09-26T06:19:17.040-04:00I'm with you--I hate drinking out of plastic a...I'm with you--I hate drinking out of plastic and refuse to have any plastic cups in my house. So we break a lot of glasses, and cleaning up the debris is a PIA. I just bought a new set of drinking glasses, but our wine glass situation is dire. We can't have more than four guests right now, and even then, someone has to drink out of the free tasting glass I got at a vineyard. At least your red glass will be easier to see!Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-37735742650104657082013-09-25T15:58:33.240-04:002013-09-25T15:58:33.240-04:00Forever is a long, looooong time.

I've held boxes of new glasses in my hands in stores, but keep picturing that process you describe so well -- fishing out pieces of glass from the disposal -- and consider plastic instead. One day soon I may be joining you, and I hope to find something pretty and colorful like you did!twisterfishhttp://twisterfish.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-46980372540246463192013-09-25T08:43:05.085-04:002013-09-25T08:43:05.085-04:00Your kids will either be fighting over them when y...Your kids will either be fighting over them when your gone or selling them at the estate auction! <br /><br />I think they are pretty!

From water glasses to wine glasses, you can be pretty sure I'll go through several a year. Wine glasses are the worst, because they are usually full of wine at the time. <br /><br />However, my husband is much more concerned with how the dishwasher makes glass look cloudy and dirty, even when they are clean. We've decided that investing in cheap glasses, so we can replace them frequently, is the best bet.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-56846185096293060402013-09-24T21:13:02.694-04:002013-09-24T21:13:02.694-04:00We are down to one glass in our kitchen.

I don't recall all of the colors, but my dad's was amber and I know there was also purple and red and blue. (There were 6 of us.) We used the same "glass" all day long -- if you didn't do a good job cleaning it out after each use, it was a little funky by the evening meal -- and then it would go into the dishwasher after dinner. <br />Just for old times' sake, I am feeling the need to run to Target and buy some of those beauties!

Each kid had a plastic tumbler with his or her name painted on it. And they all learned to do their own laundry. (She's now grandma to fifteen, and they get water only to drink when they come to Grandma's, and nobody cares.) She's the smartest woman I ever met.
