vermeer is my victim this time. bet @grammyn won't find bob again. i'm glad these people aren't panic buying toilet paper. (DD, i couldn't stop!)
i wonder what they use in lieu of toilet paper during these times. i think vermeer was a 17th century man. must find out. i read somewhere they had some sort of condom-like contraption so women don't get pregnant. surely then they must have had toilet paper then!
is it really only day 25 of the beginning? i wonder if we are all still going to be sane and slender when this ends in (what they say) 18 months. it is rather strange and this thought occured to me this afternoon when i ventured out to take a walk along the don mills. i passed by a convenience store and bought a lottery ticket, just something to do. walking back home (on an incline, i never knew that road going to my building has that steep of an incline, darn it!) i thought, what if i won the jackpot? i couldn't do anything with it -- can't travel, can't go shopping. maybe buy a private jet so i can just scoot when the lockdown's over? buy real estate and just hop mansion to mansion when i get bored? would i want an entirely ikea work room? but wait a minute! if i'm a millionaire why am i thinking of working. ah, maybe i'll help the economy and hire some people to do things for me, because by then, i probably won't be able to haul my sorry ass around. god, i feel big as a house! i should stop eating!
Very funny and a big fav! 18 months more?!? I certainly hope that calculation is incorrect! We are month to month in California and I think it will continue through May, then maybe in June we will have a bit more freedom...fingers crossed!
Excellent - totally unbelievable. However, toilet paper wasn't invented then so some alternatives were 'leaves, grass, ferns, corn cobs, maize, fruit skins, seashells, stone, sand, moss, snow and water' according to the toilet paper history site. Not sure I'd be fussed on the seashells bit! I have been in many countries where there was no toilet paper with a bucket of water and a dipper being the most basic way.
I think perhaps the look in their faces tells quite the story. I think the toilet paper has arrived in their lives a little early for the times. The master of the house is looking to his wife for some sort of explanation and she is equally perplexed at her impulse buy.
He was the first thing I looked for AND I found him! I don't have enough ways to say how terrific these are and how much I am enjoying them! Keep up the good work
And poor Bob just doesn't measure up! 😉
I did spot Bob too
