OMG    will you have services?  A 10 cent bottle? Must have been at least 30.  How much was in a 10 cent bottle? are you sure you can't give it  a transfusion of 200 proof grain alcohol and bring it back?

How sad, I have a fifteen cent Xacto knife if you think surgery is a possibility. But then again, it lived a long and cheerful life, so let it go....

Sorry to hear, but the donor bottle will continue on, in it's memory...

I sympathize, I "lost" a 10 year old ratchet screwdriver yesterday, the ratchet shut down.
It's now resting peacefully in the trash bin waiting to be transported for internment.

I think that's called reincarnation, glad to see it's got a new life.
