Every so often I have conversations with my brother and we find we have some weird thing going on at the same time, usually involving some trivial life detail. This time, it's toilet paper. I turns out we both prefer the Angel Soft brand. And we both dislike Charmin, and for the same reason. Who knew? We are unalike in almost every way, but have the same criteria for what makes a good hygiene product.
I also found out recently that I'm allergic to Cottonelle. Trust me when I say this is something you don't want to find out. Especially if you don't have access to soothing lotion. I'm just saying.

I read somewhere that one could increase their inherent happiness by writing down three things about their day which made them happy. Doing this for two weeks increased happiness for six months. I like this idea, but I think I'll use a 3+1 option where I also get to rant about something as well. What can I say? Ranting makes me happy. And blogging this way, no one has to listen against their will.

Something like having Poison Ivy head to toe????
Where do you scratch first :)
Nah, not that bad! I've had worse, including some poison ivy, it's just one of those things where something gets extra sensitive to the product but you still have to use the product. TMI alert! It's not the nicest feeling in the world, especially if there is rash and swelling, but it's not the worst. But preferable to avoid allergenic TP.
It was interesting b/c you had to remember you were in Public.. when you scratched.. oops.
Saw Tom's videos finally. I'm at the library... guess I could always log into gmail and email you :)

LOL CO! I'm wondering if you could have used the title for 8/18's post for this as well?
All I buy is Cottenelle - but not the aloe kind. Never thought about people being allergic! Yikes! This could set 'southern hospitality' back a decade or so.
Belated Birthday wishes! Hope it was fun. Best wishes for this next year.
