Thank you! When I saw on the news that he made that dumb climate statement, I howled with glee for several minutes-he certainly was channeling Carter...

I don’t get much interested in his personal life, whether he or his friends are homosexual, heterosexual or asexual, because there are so many stupid public statements of his out there now...

That said, if I were the first wookie, I’d be boffing a good-looking guy on the sly-it isn’t like the first idiot is going to go Bill Clinton on her-he probably doesn’t even know where Ft. Marcy Park is...

If he continues down the path to being the lamest duck ever with his dumb statements, he might very well be that irrelevant. Aflac...

I am all for going green, but to give up toilet paper is extreme. I do use the reusable grocery bags from Wegmans for everything, including groceries, but only because I like them better than plastic bags.

I’m really into conservation of natural resources, but reusing a thing like that is entirely too unsanitary to even think about-I mean, moss or leaves are what you do if you find yourself using the loo in the woods sans TP...

I use the cloth bags for mostly non-food purchases-sometimes I might put cans, or boxes/bags of dry stuff like rice, dog food, etc in them, but never anything frozen or wet-ewww!

I keep a dunny roll in my little hand-carry hiking pack, along with granola bars, vitamin water, pepper spray, etc but I have forgotten to replace that roll a time or two-that being the case, moss or grass are preferable to leaves...

Thank you! How cold was it over your way? It was 18 here at 6am, and it is 30 now-but the sun is shining and it is supposed to get up to 48 or so..

Wow, that is extreme. I’m sure they get a smug feeling when seeing toilet paper commercials on tv... they are so above that! Now seriously, every one of us knows what a diaper pail smells like - it doesn’t take even two days for it to stink so how do these people expect us to believe that their bathroom doesn’t smell?

We are like babies in this house - we’ve gotten turned around so we stay up until 2am, then sleep until 10.... so I don’t know how cold it got....sorry. They were predicting 26 overnight - 18 is very cold!
