Okay...I may be telling on myself here...but does anyone else hide the empty cardboard tubes so their spouses don't know about the excess towel use?

Wow--for once I think I'm the Lucky One! I never touch a paper towel--except for use for the rocks during the winter---all the rock stuff/mess is done in the basement once the winter weather comes. It is messy down there, I spill rinse water/grit ALL the time. Huge mess--and wet, totally wet. The lucky part--I never ever buy paper towels. I get monster cases of the high-tech stuff (no lint or paper fuzzies ever come off the stuff) for free from a place that manufactures paper machines. I guess these are 'test products'. And yes--I 'know' someone who works there, so this is a very good deal for me--a lucky deal!!

I still have nose norger marks from before Hurricane Charley when we lived in Punta Gorda! They are like a trophy. When the few folks ask about Hurricane Charley, we tell them how our house survived intact, and I still have the nose norgers. I kinda treasure them, like a memorial, or just nostalgic memories. I can remember, when we trimmed the palm tree, and the tree trimmer got attacked by the rattlesnake in the tree. He finally flipped the snake out of the tree with the tip of the chain saw. The snake hit the ground, and the trimmer fell on top of the snake by falling off the ladder! Typical Bubba stuff. No brains. At any rate, the palm fronds sat around in a pile for a month. Ole' Bubba was paid to trim, and haul off the brush. Being Bubba, he never showed up again after I paid him. The brush sat. I got out my trusty Briggs and Stratton push mower we paid too much for, and started chewing up the fronds. It took all day, but I had mulch. Lots of snakes in that batch. Only one rattler, a small one and he took off. That night, I had a stuffy nose. I took out ole' faithful and honked away. Big, black, and full of palm dust. Lots of palm dust. All black and runny, kinda burned a little too. Well, those stains are still there. A souvenier of days gone by. I got lots of them. One one side there are stains from sheet rocking our house in Portland Oregon. Those are kinda greenish-yellow. Sheet rock dust is not like palm dust. Sometimes, when it gets real humid, and everybody sweats, that handkerchief rolls up into a ball and gets real hard. Just like a golf ball. Then it stays wet for days. Then it is real hard to open up. The fabric is getting fragile and I do not want to lose the memories. Way cool.

Kinda like Keats, Doc . . . . . An Ode to a Snot Rag. But on its way to an epic saga, threatening Beowulf.

Hey doc, forget Cali-forn-i-a! You precious little tree hugger, you! With the drugs you must be doing, man, you'd fit right in, in Beautiful SUPER natural British Columbia...Yuppers. :-)
Definitely a threat to Beowulf. Who likes old English anyway! AND I don't remember him writing anything about rocks. Nuthin' at all. THAT totally makes it not worth reading...
Honestly, I'm in denial. I do NOT have a problem.
Nope.
Kleenex doesn't count does it? It's not half as strong, so it's really not PAPER...um... right? I've used that a couple of times when the paper towel supply ran out (Wally-world was closed...)
