You’re not making me feel bad. I agree people should dress nice for funerals and weddings but sometimes you have to make do with what you have.  
I am the total opposite of my mother who made us late for the funeral because she had to keep changing her clothes.  
‘_She has an image to maintain_’, you know.

I think I missed out on the shoe gene. Whenever people talk about women loving shoes I totally don’t get it. I missed out on the shopping gene as well. I cannot imagine a more boring way to waste time as to go shopping.

I think I missed out on the bridal gene too, whenever I hear women say they have been planning their wedding since they were 5 (or 8 or 12) I think they have to be shitting me. Getting married was the furthest thing from my mind at 5 and 8 and 12.

Speaking of which…  
Dear [del]Betty Crocker[/del], [del]Heloise Bear[/del], **Swampy Landers** ,

If I buy a pack of double (or triple) rolls, can I buy less total rolls, or is it the # of cardboard tubes of TP that I am required to meet a minimum # of in the house at all times? 😕

Home from Evening Prayer over to the church house. 'Twas nice to be back again after a Summer hiatus. I was Slackolyte. I didn’t trip, knock over any candles and set fire to the Altar, or drop the Crucifix, so all in all I done good.

Just _one_? :dubious:

Oh like y’all didn’t think I would! 😛

I’s tahred. Think I shall snoop around just a bit and then go lie upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time.

Nitey Nite Y’all!

Hope so, the one I bought has 16 rolls that are equivalent to 64 rolls. I am a single guy, this is about a years supply for me.

Baby girl is teething and isn’t very happy right now. Any suggestions on what I can do to help her feel better? She’s too little to hold anything in her hand for very long to chew on so she usually resorts to chewing on her clothes or hands

Not sure what to tell you. When VKind was teething, we could still get paregoric to rub on his gums. That helped me keep my sanity.

Hmmm, why do these George Thorogood lyrics come to mind?

_Yeah, listen to me dog before you start to whine  
That side’s yours and this side’s mine  
So move it on over  
Rock it on over  
Move over little dog, a big old dog is movin’ in_

Cookies have been made. The same kind that 4 other Dopers have tasted. 😉 🙂

I guess I’ll pack them up in a few minutes and get ready for bed.

I should be going to bed but for some reason I am still awake. I did not get to see RT tonight unfortunately. ☹

My evaluation went well today, apparently I don’t suck as a teacher. 😛

Irked double. No chat with Hockey Lady tonight.☹

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis a steamy 74 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 92 and a forty percent chance of rain. I am headed out to the west forty for a while today so that’s where rain/tstorms/apocalypse will no doubt occur. Plus it’s an awful lot of drivin’. Seriously, I spend about as much time drivin’ to and from and all around as I do makin’ visits to places.

**Apes** poor baby! Hopefully you can find some helpful suggestions. Me, I got nuttin’.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY **StickyBuns**!!!

The general rule of tp is there should be at least one, preferably two, unopened twelve packs at a minimum for backup. One can _never_ have too much!

Heh. If you’re in a room full of Whiskypalians and yell out “The Lord Be With You” they’ll all shut up and yell back “And Also With You.” When I saw this, my first thought was “And Also With You.” The point of this is I had a random thought in my haid and needed to get it out. 😃

Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence.

Happy Thursday Y’all!

Happy Thorsday

I’m up too early after only 4 hours of sleep.

It’s a dark 63 degrees with a projected high of 83. Looks to be another nice day.  
I have to walk hell pup today but the neighbor is taking over my other pet sitting jobs.

Outside of that I’ve got nothing except a headache and sore throat.

YAY Sticky

Happy New Year

Blurf. Happy New Year!

Back at the orifice this morning, with the construction crew off to an early start. I may well head home if they become partisans for TVCTPMO. Speaking of which, after the busted water main debacle yestiday, our water is back on but we have very little pressure. Heads are gonna roll soon over that.
