Like nothing but double ply in every roll?

Like nothing but double ply in every roll?

It's tough going back to single ply after having the double.

When I think of all the people in the underdeveloped world, or even the homeless in our own country, who have nothing but leaves, bark, old paper bags, etc. to wipe their butts with, I feel embarassed when I see commercials on TV advertising yet another new brand of cushiony soft (expensive) TP.

We're horrified if there's little bits of TP stuck to our bums, imagine what gets stuck to theirs.

Getting gussied up for grocery-shopping: yes, it's a thing.
Going lingerie shopping together is frankly fantastic *wink wink* and going out shoe shopping is delightfully divine *nudge nudge* but the sweet, thoughtful, considerate gentleman who takes you out on the town to fill up your bare cupboards *say no more* deserves at the very least some eye candy whilst out-and-about and at the very most my undying loyalty and gratitude...don't you agree? :wink2:

Another thought that's been bouncing around in my head.


When someone does poorly in college....let's say they go drinking all the time, skip classes and never study. We say it is their own fault.

When someone does well in college...they study hard, attend every class, participate in discussions, and seek help from the instructors...we praise them.

Under those two categories are also people who do poorly because they just don't have the skills to succeed in college and there are others that are just blessed with memory retention and recollection and other natural skills.

We don't look at any of these people and say that those who do well are doing so to the detriment of others. We don't give a pass to those who don't do the work or just can't pass the "tests".





So why is it that when we look at financial success, we can't accept that some people don't put in the effort to do well, or don't have the skills to do well. Others do have the luck, skills and work ethics to succeed. And yet when it comes to finances we seem to come up for all sorts of reasons why those who do poorly need to be helped and those who do well need to be punished. People argue that we need to take from the rich to give to the poor. People suggest that the rich have even stolen from the poor somehow. Are grades and finances so different? I don't think so.

:YMAPPLAUSE:

Well said.

Anyone like the latest update for Chome??!! Damn-Not too smart:grrrrrr:

I hate the way it looks now. The font sizing and spacing is messed up.

I thought there was something wrong with my computer yesterday so tried to re-install Chrome and things got progressively worse due to some kind of update error. Finally installed Firefox again so I could uninstall, then re-install Chrome and still hate it!

Something I have to upgrade to?.

Chrome looks the same to me.

It upgrades automatically. They rolled out the new version a couple days ago and I think it takes a while for them to get it to everybody.

I've done multiple scans and can't find any malware or anything. Hmmmmmm

It is a wonder that anyone gets anywhere with all these bodies forming hurdles for so very many buses.

There are various phrases in the English language for being back-stabbed. Why oh why does everyone have to use the same one?

I'm sitting here dressed in flannel pj's, a sweater and a scarf with my windows wide open and the heat turned off so it's only 18 inside. If I keep my place really cold in the morning, I can survive the 31 degree heat later in the day by closing the windows around noon to keep the heat out without having to turn the A/C on.

Just don't drink :biggrin2:

 

[Art Mann]

Just don't drink :biggrin2:

You can text and drink, just don't drive.

And like posting on these boards, the more you drink the less you should text.

Because when you drink you may not always think.

I have a serious question. :writing:

I recently bought a bag of Cheetos mixed snacks and one of the items in the mix is a woven basket shaped, spicy creation, about 1 1/2" in diameter, that I love better than all the other ingredients combined. Does anyone know what they're called and if they can be purchased separately? I hate picking through the bag and not wanting to eat 80% of it.
