It is a truth universally acknowledged, that no matter how much time you spent scrubbing the toilet, and no matter how dirty your feet are from walking in the basement, nor how slowly the tub drains, one can not plunge ones foot into the toilet to rinse off said foot.
You should have heard Gary scream.
Other things I have done that have made Gary scream this week:
Pointed out the porch spiders. Gary was compelled to knock them down and then became covered with “funnel spiders.”
Bought light bulbs. These are $10 halogen bulbs for one particular light kit. If I bought 10, the volume discount brought it to $3 per bulb. Sure, they last three years each. I realize we will die with these bulbs. Evidently Gary felt this was a foolish decision. Too much of a commitment? I don’t know.
This isn’t the first argument we’ve had over bulk purchases, either. My parents disagreed about them too. “What will we ever do with 100 rolls of toilet paper?” “Wipe our ass?”

I always buy toilet paper in bulk. It’s about 30 rolls at a time, and I buy tp about 3 times a year. Probably more if I’m doing a lot of entertaining.
Now you know.
I have so little room in my condo – or so much crap – that I wish I could only buy 4 rolls of tp at a time instead of 9 or 12. Also, my mom knows how the porch spiders freak me out and this spring she confessed that if they know I’m coming she goes out the night before with a broom and knocks them down.
As long as spunky doesn’t use the kitchen sponge to tidy herself up, I’d be good with it – http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/home/cleaner-toilet-bowl-or-kitchen-sponge.htm – just don’t share this with Gary…
You only have to make it to the fourth bulb for your bulk purchase to be worthwhile.
Tami – That sounds like 2 rolls a week. We are truly at 6 rolls a week. The latest rolls are a gag gift from the Wonderfuls and they feel like silk. Charmin Ultra.Amy – What a good mom! You know the funnel spiders make webs on the lawn too. Mare – I have to, because after he screamed about the toilet the next time I washed my feet it was in the kitchen sink with the kitchen sponge. But I was uncomfortable doing it. I would have preferred to use the toilet. (If I am mopping up dog pee in the hallway I also use the toilet as a mop rinse bucket.)Caroline – you are going to ace the Series 7.
I’m only at about 2 rolls a week because I’m only awake when I’m in my house for about 4 hours a day. I think. 5-6:15am, and either 6 to 10 or 7:30 to 10. So I’d say 4 on average, which means I use my own bathroom when I get home, right before bed, and when I wake up.
I wish work didn’t keep me away from home so much.
Tami – I thought you had a roomate. Does Trixie have her own tp?
