How do you unwind?

[DLM]

FYI if any of you have to use your outhouse when it's below zero, (even 40 below) you know cold the seat is. The remedy for that is to cover the seat with a thin (1 inch) styrofoam sheet with a hole cut out of course. Instant warm!!😃 Just thought maybe youall could use that tidbit of info.  We have had to deal with that so I wanted to pass this on, if this turns out to be part of your great tribulation. 😬

I never paid attention and did not even know this was an issue until a few years ago.  I actually did not understand until I took the time to go into the bathroom and look to see what they meant. As long as someone replaces the empty roll where you are not left without, I don’t see a problem. If this is a big issue what other trivial things are you obsessing about? I like easy going laid back people.  Maybe if this s irritating to ones, they  need to take a good look at what really is important.

My aunt had an outhouse. I always looked at it as an adventure.  Not until a black snake had found its way inside and was curled up inside, then I never would go alone again. They were upscale though. They had a two seater.  Don’t know why though.  Who would go and sit 6 inches from someone else?  And the smell inside prohibited anyone from taking their time.

This reminds me of the  bugged two-holer with a speaker: "Hey lady, would you kindly move over to the next hole, we're trying to paint down here!"

When I was quite young my parents owned a fishing cabin on Mad River in N. CA. It had an attached Model T sized garage with a walled-in outhouse at the far corner of the garage. No electricity. At night it was a long trip crossing the garage with a flashlight. The flashlight revealed spider webs in the black hole under the seat. It also revealed scary black spiders with a red hourglass emblem., ugh. My dad said they wouldn't bother me if I didn't bother them. Lesson learned, never, never look down the hole in an outhouse.

Any others here remember the ultimate purposing of the Sears and Roebuck catalog? No winding involved.

At home, I come here. When I can get out, shopping works 😁...

Talk about spiders in the outhouse--- I gotta tell you about my scary outhouse experience. A long time ago when I was a little child my cousins told me that when I went out there in the dark, the turkey or the goose would get me hence I became scared to death of the dark. Later when I was 8 or 9 we lived on a ranch in the mountains of Colorado and I still had to make a trek out back before bed--in the dark-- by myself. Needless to say, my feet hardly touched the ground all the way out and back. As I'm sitting there warming the seat, I heard  the most god-awful scream that sounded like a woman screaming in terror. WHAT WAS THAT?? I wasn't gonna stick around to find out, I know I literally became airborne down the hill to the house. My mom and dad said it wasn't gonna get me, it was just a mountain lion screaming far off on the mountainside. After that I always wanted one of my folks to take me to take care of the job at hand!!

This would depend on your geographic location in relation to north south poles. Clearly spin friction would effect length of afterspool. Longer afterspool makes it easier for scrunchers, shorter for folders. For me, less is best, hence gravitation logic in Australia dictates over.

 

Really very simple. I read this thread was started by Klingon, well my logic is purely Vulcan.

 

And no, I do not admit to posting this.

I voted, I don't mind either way. I mean I wouldn't start an argument over it, but I do prefer over to under. it's easier to get that way. Also, it's how it's done in hotels, which makes it the "correct" way XD XD XD

Do you still, I mean the thread is talking about how to unwind toilet paper, and I thought it meant  how we unwind, relax, chill out....😁

[Loopy]

 LOL Yeah I get it. LOL 

 

I also completely understand about coming into the middle of a topic.

I was here several times and even posted, and I "still" make that mistaken when I get an alert for it.
