Saving The World - And Saving Toilet Paper

[Guest guest]

Hey Dede,

 

I'm gonna retire one of these days and go fishing. Folks thinking of

messing with our water Down Home are very likely to be recycled.

Point is .. when I'm gone it will be good to know that we will still

have a few folks on the list who prefer to deal with reality. So ..

keep up the good work. ;-)

 

On toilet paper .. when I was a yonker and living in the hills,

fields, gullies and woods that were our playgrounds .. it was very

common to use grass or leaves and we knew which ones not to use. It

was also common for folks to use newspapers (as is the case in Turkey

and Russian and in many of the villages in the world) and then there

wee Sears & Roebuck Catalogs .. but for them whut couldn't read their

was always they gud ol corncob .. and they came in two colors, which

helped folks be as thrifty as they could be under the circumstances.

Red cobs seemed to be more numerous than the white ones .. so folks

used one red then one white in order to see if they needed another

red. ;-)

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch

Good heavens, Macha02012, you must be a sweet innocent babe still wet behind

the ears and I can guess you prolly haven't been previously compelled by an

English teacher to read that classic 'Tobacco Road'.

 

I'll let Butch explain, his own self. :-) ROFLMAO!! Looking forward to this

one, Butch.

Hey Butch!

 

They need that stuff to make the extrra expensive stuff they want to run the

cars on these days!!!! Can't use it for toilet paper!

 

Speaking of green --

Read an article about the " new " fangled light bulbs WalMart and Gore want us to

switch too. They contain mercury and if they are broken the mercury is

impossible to clean. The article I read was about a woman who's house this

happened in. She called the environmental people and all they could do was

close off her daughter's room so it couldn't be used as they had no idea how to

clean the mercury out of the carpet. The article was from a reliable site so I

had no reason not to believe it. And these bulbs will be like batteries to

dispose of. Like using corncobs as toilet paper - a pain ITA.
