Wait. People literally ate napkins?
I’ve pulled a Tom Hanks and eaten saltines with mustard but I’ve never heard of anyone eating a napkin.
She was young and retarded. Now she’s old and retarded. I think she stopped eating cellulose, though.
Yeah, my first thought was, “Oh, the dude from the Terminal.” But napkin sandwiches is kind of insane. Though I do know of one girl who, to cut back on tampon costs, just stuffed TP up herself during her period.
Well, not people. Per se.
1.) How much do tampons cost and how often do you have to buy another box?
2.) How effective of a tampon is a handful of toilet paper?
You can get them pretty cheap- but how many you use and the cost depends on how your period is. I’d say I maybe spend $5 every two months on period related expenses 
TP is terrible. I’ve never like, shoved it up my hoot or anything, but I’ve made an impromptu maxi pad out of it when nothing else is around. Temporary and weak at best. I’d rather just spend the $5 every couple of months.
ACM, me personally, I get my tampons at Target or Costco because they’re cheaper. Some places near where I live you can get a box of twenty for $12.99. (At other places it’s about $20 for maybe 70 to 100. My parents usually pick them up for me.) I use about seven to ten a period.
As for how effective–no idea. I wouldn’t want to try that myself. I doubt all that good because my flow can be pretty heavy and I’d rather have something that I know is going to work.
So this woman that Slit was describing was homeless?
Yeah, and if you use it as a temporary pad it always slides out of position and often crawls down your leg.
I have never in my life seen 20 tampons for $12. I mean, maybe it’s that much at the airport or something, but Cheezits are also $5 a bag at the airport.

Tampon usage?
Tampon prices?
Huh. 
This thread has gone to the dogs.
Maye it’s a little closer to around $8 or $9 for twenty. I know for the 36 tampon packs of Playtex, I’ve paid closer to twelve. For what it’s worth I live in NYC. Most stuff at the local drug stores are pretty ridiculous–hence, Costco.
The bitches, you mean.

That’s why you leave a decent length of TP unrolled up, place the temp-pad in your undies, then wrap the tail over and around the pad and undies crotch to anchor it in place. Tuck the very end under the wrapped part to secure it.
(I had to improvise more than I care to think of when I was a teen.)
You couldn’t just buy real pads?
My cousin hitchhiked across Canada when she was young (14-ish) and she would go into a diner, order a cup of hot water and add ketchup to make a tomato soup sort of thing, but she never ate napkins.
That strikes me as being rather odd; however, I really don’t know what it’s like to be busted ass poor, 'cus I never have been (lucky me). Perhaps if I was that hungry a napkin would start to look good.
Regardless, that whole collection of posts by Curlcoat is…bizarre.
Teenagers are poor planners.
It’s a puppy - .5 the size.
Apparently it’s rocket science to you. Look at it this way - if your dog has space to potty and do a bit of running around, but the high point of his day is when you talk him for a walk in the same old neighborhood, who is it that is neglecting his dog? There is no way that a dog that is mentally and physically stimulated in other ways needs a walk, much less daily, unless that is the only way it can eliminate.
Dunno - I don’t have any pet birds! I suppose someone might yell at it if it was throwing seed around? 
The point I made, lo these many pages ago, is that there are people here who apparently can read, but prefer to assume the most negative thing possible that they can, which is what you have just done. It’s already been explained that there are several possibilities why the dogs are not actually getting beaten, and all I said about the suicide business was that people shouldn’t act as armchair psychologists. Which parts do you disagree with, and why?
Ya know, I don’t do this often, but I’d really like to see a cite where any reputable trainer - heck, any trainer at all - says that walks must be done. Not for a specific reason like socialization, the owner has no other way to exercise the dog or part of training, just walks all by themselves. None of you can come up with a legit reason why walks are needed, other than “reputable trainers say so”, and since I am a reputable trainer of many decades, I’d be interested to see where you are getting this stuff.
Snort - I’d like to see where you think I said anything of the sort. Way to prove my point that you all like to jump to outrageous conclusions based on nothing and twist whatever is actually there to support your fantasies.
Just out of curiosity - do you actually make this “snort” sound in meatspace?
