Most Boring Thread

Really,to be in the safe side and with an accurate taly, you should be eating the same food, to get the same results while taking the "wipe" test

 

It looks like you aren't taking softness and effectiveness into account and will be basing your buying decision on price alone.

 

Please list the brands you have tested so far.

I generally use Charmin and Kirkland (Costco), by the way. However, I won't refuse to go if those brands aren't available.

 

A toilet paper spread sheet?! :doh:

 

A couple of other factors you should consider - its biodegradability and whatever factor it is that makes it more or less likely to block the plumbing blockage.

 

How does one block a blockage? Isn't that an unblockage?

 

I spent the weekend engrossed in football....Saturday went to the LSU/ULL game in Tiger Stadium. We won of course. Yesterday we watched the Saints win against Philadelphia and watched Mark Martin win the first race in the Chase for the Championship in NASCAR. So, I'm "sports-ed" out for now.............

 

I think I had some redundant extra wordage.

 

My booth at PPD wasn't a rousing success, though I managed to unload about 6 brochures (come on people, it's free information), and sold 2 or 3 Karma sprays. Did have a couple of good conversations with people.
It was a really long day, and my feet are really, really tired.

 

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

So far, Scott 1000 sheets, Panda Ultra Premium, Charmin Basic, Surfine Double, Marcal Small Steps Double. I'm about to do Cottenelle Triple.

I do intend to take softness and other things into account, but I really want a ranking by price, at least an approximate one.

No problems with blockage so far.

 

We use the Kirkland bath tissue.

I've met people that do not use disposable tissue. Yep, there is a whole bunch of people that are taking sustainability to a unique level! They use washable cloths.

This isn't going to happen anytime soon at our house, however.

 

Oh yuck. (I prefer the eeee-ewww expression of disgust that my daughters used to utter quite often but I'm not sure of the spelling).

 

Poorer people have always done that. Especially outside the United States.

I remember a story my friend in Philadelphia told me.

When she was a kid, there were always damp cloths hanging on the side of the bathtub, and she never knew why they were there or what they were used for.

It wasn't until her early teens that she learned what they were: Her father, a successful engineer, used them to wipe himself after stool movements.

Even though he was a highly educated engineer, had money (they lived in the Main Line), and had toilet paper in the house all the time (the rest of the family used toilet paper), he was just continuing the practice he had grown accustomed to while growing up as a poor kid in China. More irony: Chinese invented toilet paper.

 

I've never heard of Chinese doing that -- or that they invented toilet paper -- although they did invent most things. Not the flush toilet though. In some countries, they just use their (left) hand and water. At least hands are easily washed and are not left to hang around the bathtub (that's really gross) but it's a reason why it's considered rude to eat with your left hand.

 

Although it's a very nice day today, I'm pretty bored.

So bored that after putting it off for 2 years, I'm going to go out to my car and finally install my Wheelskins leather steering wheel cover.

 

Good on ya Boo! Productivity from boredom.

I am bored as well. But mainly sleepy. I'd like a little nap now.

 

I have a horrible code in de dose. This morning I felt like I'd been hit by a truck and had 101 degree fever. I took off work. After some Tylenol felt a bit better. Well enough to take my little Prius for a little drive to the grocery store.

 

Maybe you got swine flu? I think it's more prevalent now than the regular flu.

 

I do NOT have swine flu. *Cough* *Oink* *Ah-Choo* *Oink*

 

Done with Cottenelle, on to Green Forest.

In other news, the "off" button on my blender broke.
