Dear Mr. Abby, Can you please explain why the first roll in a package of terlit paper seams to last for months while the last roll seams only to last a few hours? What's with this strange phenonomon. Is it some kind of marketing technique or what? Should we all start opening the packaces from the bottom? Any advice or explanation on this subject would be much appreciated. Signed, Ranout in Riverview.

The last roll isn't rolled as tightly therefore there isn't as much on that roll as there is on previous rolls in the package. Opening it from the bottom will not help because the toilet paper company has thought of this and randomly selects which roll to put the least amount of toilet paper on.The person using the last of this was just unlucky enough to find said roll. It's even worse when you're home alone and had thought you had just one more roll tucked away. Stick out tongue [:P]

I would suggest looking around for other people before starting to talk. This way you can rest assured that at least 1 person has heard you and you aren't talking to yourself at that point.

Dear Mr Myslef, There is nothing wrong with talking to your self as long as you're not arguing with your self.

You can tape a straw to a remote control and walk around with it up to your ear. That way nobody will know your secret.

Dear Abby,

I gave my animals all baths for fleas last week. My hubby sprayed the animals and furniture while I had the kids out of the house. Now the kitten refuses to clean herself because of the spray on her fur. I feel my hubby is responsible, since he sprayed her. He thinks I should have sprayed her and then bathed her. Whos's right?

*groan*

I'm guessing this is a great way to get some posts in, LOL.

Dear Groan, I'd say the kitten is right. That stuff tastes terrible.

BlinkeredKitten wrote on 10/23/2006 8:29:22 AM :

LOL!!! Great answer, Willie. I'll have to share that one with my hubby.

Dear Groan,

Try bathing her again..Then if the fleas are still there or return there are drops you can buy the you just place on the back of their necks..WORKS GREAT!!

BlinkeredKitten wrote on 10/23/2006 11:55:06 AM :

I've used those before. They do work great - they were just too expensive for my taste this week, LOL!

spyn wrote on 10/23/2006 11:56:51 AM :

I picked some up at the dollar store a couple of weeks ago. I then bought shampoo and spray and don't need them anymore. You can have them if you want.

BlinkeredKitten wrote on 10/23/2006 11:59:00 AM :

You picked up WAHT at the dollar store - shampoo or the neck drops?? Because if you're talking about the neck drops, I'm going to have to investigate a little further!!

spyn wrote on 10/23/2006 12:05:02 PM :

neck drops.

Hmmmmm. Add it to the price of my tickets. Sounds like a worthwhile investment. Big Smile [:D]
