This is stupid and non knitting related, well maybe

Why is it that I am always the one to find the empty roll . . . you know the empty toilet paper roll, the empty paper towel roll. I thought it was just at home, but twice today, I have replaced the empty roll at work in the coffee room.

Dave too find the empty rolls at home, but the kids are semi-blind to it. I say semi-blind, because they will leave one square on the roll. Therefore, it is fair to assume that they know it is coming to an end but doesn't want to have toe change the roll. I realize that it is sooooooo hard to do so. For the toilet paper in all the bathrooms, it is a matter of either bending down and getting a new roll out of the cabinet or, in the case of the kid's bathroom, we keep them stacked on the back of the toilet (dual purpose in that it keeps them from piling it high with "STUFF"). The paper towels are a little more difficult in that they have to go to the garage . . . hmm, ten steps to the kitchen door, ten steps into the garage, repeat on the return . . . and there isn't a HOLDER. We keep the paper towels on the counter top between the sink and the breakfast bar.

At work, the paper towels are stored in a cabinet directly above the holder.

I know, it is the unwrapping that frightens them. Maybe I'll do a manual or training class on unwrapping.

The bowl for the One Skein project is becoming a project. Somehow, I miscounted the cast on. DUH. and have five more stitches. I am at the decrease and have been frogged the last couple of rows more than once. Bah humbug!
Wendy's bag on the other hand will be ready for felting by this weekend. You (whomever reads this) are my witness(es) that it will be done this weekend. Seriously. Really. I will do it as soon as I am finished replacing all the toilet paper and paper towel rolls in the house.

At least you have the excuse of kids and a husband for the empty roll. (your first Summer Fling SP hint is here) I live by myself, or at least with no other human types, (see, I told you, a hint) and yet this morning, when I went in the bathroom, the roll was empty! All I can say is at least I remembered to buy toilet paper over the weekend.

When we were growing up, my Mom would always moan about all the "stuff" everywhere. Five of us got married over a six year period. Sometime in the year or two after we were married, I remember her commenting on her surprise that it must be her and Dad that were leaving the mess because there was still "stuff" everywhere!

I know what you mean! I replace the roll at work at least 2-3 times a week. Now, there a lot of people using it, but we are probably not going through more than one every 1 to 2 days. So why am I the one chamging it all the time? Oh well, at least I have the man at home trained, we are probably equal in that.
