Dear So and So

[Crankin]

I hope you feel better, Oak. When your body needs a rest, it needs a rest.
Those cycling statistics about your home in Florida sound scary.

re: 20 posts about TP, sometimes it's REALLY nice to NOT be dwelling on surgery, ICU, cancer, suffering. I like dear so and so because it ranges from the silly to the sad to the ironic to the giddy happiness that all of us experience. I have felt awful about this thread being way too much a how's Donald thread and I would prefer to dwell a little on the sensation of walking into a rest room expecting to find something really odd like mounds of TP.
We used to have a lady in our office who was way way way too much into makeup and scents. We'd go into the bathroom and see makeup sprinkled on the floor near the mirror and, of course ON the mirror. She left a vapor trail when she walked down the hall. We enjoyed endless conversations about her eccentricities and speculated for ages about what she did when she went to her next job... and sure she had emotional problems of a spectacular level, but there was not much we could do about that.

I appreciate and agree with Pax's point of view about this and the diplomatic way she stated it. My original post that started this discussion was in keeping with the intent behind Dear So & So. It's a chance to vent, complain, celebrate, share, etc. What happens from there is the nature of an online forum. Things often take on a life of their own. We've certainly discussed sillier things in this thread in the past. I personally don't need you to wag your finger at me/us about it.

Just consider it another vent.

Yeah, I guess that did sound mean. Sorry. As germs apparently are to this person, waste is to me. Seriously. It's how I was raised, and that was before I ever heard the phrase "carbon footprint." It's a good thing I don't work in your building, because I would be the one pulling the unused rolls of TP out of the trash and putting them back on the spindles. Yes, I do know that's gross.

Gross, yes, but discussing it would make this thread even funnier.

Gross, yes, but discussing it would make this thread even funnier.

Hey, that's not gross, I'd do it right there with you

I was brought up the same way.

More toilet idiosincracies....

I used to work with a woman that took the idea of waste not to a higher level. One day she asked why we don't save the paper toilet seat liners so they can be used again. I guess we were supposed to hang them up.......

I have more..........

I am more than happy to provide a diversion for you, Mimi!

And, Oak, I have come really close to retrieving the unused rolls of TP from the trash. But I keep going back to the Seinfeld episode where George gets caught eating an eclair out of the trash.

ROFLMAO at the mental image...

Dear Hamstrings,

You've been stiff for a week. I've been trying to stretch you, but it's time for some professional help. We're going to see a therapist tomorrow to see if we can't work out our differences. A massage therapist *WINK*. Yayyyyy.

[goride]

Mimi - such good news! I hope you both find Don being at home to be restful.
