But for the house?<br /><br />I can think of maybe one reason to be rid of the tubes - here at Casa de Crazy, one of the cats "hunts" the cardboard tubes if we don't throw them out, and when she catches one she wanders around with it in her mouth mewling and declaring her success as a huntress. This usually happens in the wee hours when we'd like to be sleeping!<br /><br />I think I'll stick with the traditional TP rolls for the nonce, thanks.<br /><br />Shade and Sweetwater,<br />KKyddrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668797984157146798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-67249365870192712982010-11-03T22:15:30.860-05:002010-11-03T22:15:30.860-05:00Hey Catman...

Simple,...Hermit,It's a big ploy sell more TP!!<br /><br />Simple, when you reach over to pull some paper, it ain't gonna roll all nice and easy like it used to and it's gonna tear off before you get the amount you wanted. Then you gonna be mad and grab it again and pull off even more, by the time you get what you "think" you wanted in the first place , I betcha it's more than you would have normally used with the ole style free rolling TP that we all know and love. <br /><br /><br /><br />The biggest issue I see here at the house is,,it will drive the cats mad trying to get that thing to roll around!! <br /><br />AND we will have a whole generation of young kids with out their first musical instrument!! At our house it was called the DA DA DADA, and was all of us boys first trumpet!!
