Or might not. That’s entirely up to you.

Don’t discount alternative toilet paper. When the next Covid wave of hoarding shoppers comes through you’re going to wish you had grandma’s old Sears catalog.

Good grief! If you’re losing that much hair in the shower? Seek medical help not a drain blocker.

.

.

Now isn’t that just special?

.

.

In the current Covid climate? This is the equivalent of one upping your neighbor. To heck with building a wrap around porch and landscaping with exotic flora…. displaying 8 rolls of toilet paper means you’ve arrived.

I went out the mailbox the other day, found a hand addressed letter and thought, how nice! Someone took the time to put pen to paper like we used to.

And then I read it.

Damn.

It seems Covid 19 has stopped those annoying Jehovah Witnesses from knocking on our door…

.

But they’ve found an alternate way to try and spread their word.

Oh well, I’m sure the post office appreciates the added revenue.

Magazine musings…

Since I’m still trying to plow through my massive stack of magazines, I have to share.

.

.

Do we really need shoes that breathe? I don’t… but maybe that’s just me.

.

.

I’m all for alternative leather products… eucalyptus? Cool. But if they come up with kale filled seats? I’m boycotting on sheer principle.

.

.

According to this map temperatures are rising almost everywhere but it looks like me and my hot flashes are in the right place. Hang in there Maine! River melts into a puddle in anything above 75 degrees.

.

.

If you’ve never had canned brown bread you haven’t lived a full life. This is a Maine staple, made in Portland, Maine… so why this article calls it Boston brown is a mystery. Moist and filled with molasses?

Try it. Your mouth will thank me.

Dexter is coming back!

I don’t have Showtime anymore but might have to resubscribe in order to revisit my favorite serial killer.

Ghost pepper strawberry frosting?

No.

Just no.

When ya gotta go…..

Due to the nationwide shortage of toilet paper, I feel it’s necessary to share a little history.

As well as a helpful alternative in these troubling times.

You know the old saying, “When in Rome?”

Well……

The Ancient Romans were never bothered by a lack of tripe ply Charmin.

No, sir.

Not when they had their handy tersoriums.

I’ll pause for a moment to let you conjure a mental image of using one the next time you pay a visit.

Got it?

Alright then…. moving on.

Death by lion…. or swallowing a tersorium?

Sorry, but I’m going with the lion every time.

And in case you’re interested?

You should be thanking this man that you’re not outside searching for a stick right now.

The inventor of modern toilet paper.

Corn cobs?

No thank you.

But if the Covid shortage continues, we’re all going to wish the Sears catalog was still being printed.

And now that I think about it….

Maybe I need to check the husband’s barn for this stuff. If anyone has some, it will be my other half.
