Tissue Paper

    I noticed Baby Rainbow's post about FB drifted off in cyberspace (or the second page of our main message forum ) like paper in the wind

    Perhaps she won't mind my parody

    So... Tissue Paper appears to be like Marmite... you either love it or you hate it!

    How do you feel about TP?
    How do you use it?
    Or do you not use it?

    You would make so much fun of me if you saw how much tissue paper I had at my house, lol. I save them all from gift bags.

    Seriously. I have hundreds.

    I can't imagine a more useful collection than TP in its many forms To think as little as one hundred years ago many people worked around the handy wipes. I dare say that it would be next to impossible to bath after every bodily function.
    I suppose a handkerchief or a bandana is still used often to wipe tears and sweat from the face. The preacher that delivered my late brother in laws eulogy knew him personally and it was the first time I ever saw a prop used in those circumstances. I felt it was apropos because of how many uses my brother in law had for that cloth that must have been laundered or replaced many times in the course of his adulthood.

    Britt!!!!

    I collect it too!! I use it to wrap presents sometimes instead of wrapping paper!!

    But I also collect gift bags...
    and boxes...
    and cards...
    and pens...
    and notebooks...

    ... oops... might have a slight problem! :/

    So, Saffie has outted herself as a hoarder!

    Don't worry, hon, anybody with as many prompts as you must be a hoarder. We all suspected it. ;8-)

    In my two lives in Boys Scouts (youth & adult) I valued TP above most other gear. You can survive in the wilderness with a knife alone, but if you want creature comfort, add TP.

    Lol

    From what I was told neither of my grandfathers enjoyed the luxury of TP in their early years. Neither of my grandparents had indoor pluming where they lived. I can imagine the Sears & Roebuck catalog being valued in the great depression

    My father used to sing a vulgar m�©nage of these ditties which you may or may not wish to read

    Hillbilly Resurrection
    Fire in the mountains, snakes in the grass,
    An old man died with a cob up his ass.
    The cob flew out and the wind blew in,
    And the old man came to life again.
    Chicken-foot and sparrow-grass,
    Old woman died with a rag in her ass;
    Rag blew out an' the wind blew in,
    Damned old bitch is livin' agin.
    Snakes in the whiskey, rats in the beer,
    Old man died with a rag in his ear.
    Rag came out, wind blew in,
    Old man came to life agin.

    A poem by

    White Cloud Tissue (RAP)

    It seems the higher I rise
    from the sewer,
    clouds turn to fog
    and the ocean is bluer .
    That is how I imagine
    the sky though I have
    never flown in a flying
    machine .
    I kissed
    the Eve of my dreams,
    but the illusion left me
    thirsting for more spit
    or so it seems
    after thinking about it.

    I swear to God I thought that this was about toilet paper for one small nano second and sadly I don't own any tissue paper because I don't really go out to parties and we don't really celebrate birthdays back home sorry Michael

    Well, you do not necessarily have to own something to use it. No need to be sorry:)

    Some folks want to skip the bath in the bathroom when they do their business lol

    I would be more comfortable living without facebook than many other luxuries
