OMG that is funny especially corn cobs hmmmmm something tells me they likely worked well. hehehehehe

This is the second thread about toilet paper in a couple days...weird. But what the heck, I'll jump in here. Of course, the subject does make me "flush." I wonder if Natives used "teepee". I just hope Sheryl doesn't take any "crap" for this thread.

Wow, after coming up with those, I'm "pooped".



(Geez, I have such a "potty" mouth....)

OK!! OK, enough....

Sheryl you did your homework on butt paper. With all the choices i would prefer Suave, Fuerte...Duradero. Question: i always wondered, what did women use for their needs in times before? We have come a long way, using the old options really must have raised hell with the hemmies... :yh_cry

Funny I thought that about the Hemmies too heheh I bed they had some troubles but hmmm maybe they had tough tushies back then cause of all the rought treatment of the rough supplies. Actually in truth Paula, (more minks details to gross the average population out) They likely did not have to much tourble with Hemmies back then due to diet and not sitting on their tushies for over long periods of time hehehehehe

BR your post was a hoot, made me laugh my A** off no neet for TP now

Aww shucks, I post some educational tidbits and I get grief sheesh

Actually Paula and Minks, in the link there is a little bout the beginnings of Kotex and such.

the bidet seems the best choice. I am sooo happy for toilet paper after reading this!

Actually I was having a good day, till bout 10 minutes ago. Started a load of laundry and kept getting an error code about there being no water. Well check water in rest of house, and sure enough no water. So call friend across the street, she has no water either. Apparantly someone hit a freaking fire hydrent, so the whole town has no water till they fix the problem :-5



Good thing I don't have a bidet!!
