Therapeutic Paper

Therapeutic Paper...so named back in the 1800s... to us T P is...toilet paper!!  I just have to share my love affair with those soft, squishy rolls that have endured heat, water, bleach, pressing, gluing and cutting!!

I like to buy the big packs of T P so we don't run out at the most inappropriate times, especially if company is here!  All three bathrooms are stocked with at least 4 rolls at all times.  And within easy reach from the commode!

It is a simple proces to remove the empty toilet paper roll and install the new roll.  Need I have a special class to teach this technique??  Also, don't forget to throw away the empty roll in the trash can, please!  Anyone with two hands can do it!  Takes less than a minute.

Can I get paid to be a Toilet Paper Replacement Consultant???  Why is that everywhere I go, I end up being the one who has to change the roll??  Is there a T P invisible ghost who sneaks in with me when I arrive at someone's home? He sneaks in the bathroom and tears off squares of paper, leaving just enough to give me some security.  Invariably, I have to change the roll!  Even in my own house with 3 bathrooms and 2 adults living here!  Granted, my husband will remove the empty roll but leaves it on the floor and nothing gets put on the toilet paper holder!!!

I promise you, I am not a prolific user of said T P when nature calls.  After all, I do want to conserve our resources!  But this is crazy!

I am thankful for this soft, recycled paper, though.  You should have the experience of trying the toilet paper available in Africa!!!  More like crepe paper, only harsher. That is why we took our own toilet paper to Africa.  Now, just think how fun it was to figure out how many rolls we would need for 6 people for 3 years!!!!  Unfortunately, I can't remember how many rolls we took but we did have some left over when we completed our 3 years!

As you ponder on the potty, think about all that recycled paper (notebook paper, McDonald burger wrapper, napkins, greasy paper bags from Five Guys fries, etc.).  How far we have come from corn cobs, leaves and Sears catalogs!  I do appreciate the velvety softness that is available to us in the 21st century!  But next time you find an empty T P holder, think of me and replace the roll before you leave the room!  You never know, that invisible ghost may decide to play some interesting pranks on you!
