How fun. I like the barbed wire tp. Wonder if it would keep the kitties from shredding the tp.
Very nice paper. A bit spendy thought, considering it's purpose. Might make for some amusing novelty gifts, though.
Somehow, I don't think that approach ever occurred to them. Just a hunch.
Oh, go ahead and take it. You couldn't POSSIBLY be older than I am! :)
It's been a looooong time since I've had a problem with cats and toilet paper. I've only had one that would stand on the toilet lid and use her paws to unroll the entire roll. The paper would all be on the floor. She must have been having a terrific time!
Seven: If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older!!!
See? You most definately aren't older than I am. In fact, you're practically a baby. And I'm still not telling what my score is. I'm too close to being older than dirt. :)
About once every three months, a brand new roll of tp or paper towels is completely shredded. I think it's one of the M and M boys.
LOL! I do remember the S & H green stamps my mom collected and the candy wax bottles I liked so much.
If I leave newspapes on the floor, one of them occasionally decides to start shredding. I'm pretty it's the chubby brown tabby. She used to shred papers constantly when she was a kitten. She'd like on her side with the papers between her front paws, and use her teeth to peel off shreds of the paper. It taught me to keep the papers picked up (most of the time, anyway). Most everything else she leaves alone. She also used to get into the medicine cabinet if I left it open, and knock down small bottles, like eye drops, and bat them around and lose them. It was a problem with my prescription drops. It also taught me to keep the medicine cabinet closed. I learned so much from that little cat! Of course, now that she's nine, she is much more mellow.
All of them for me, too. But, I'm not that nostalgic. LOL
I remember roller skate keys. We'd keep the key tied to a shoelace and put the shoelace around our necks like a necklace. I also remember the green stamps and the wax coke bottles. I kinda remember the blue flashbulbs. My mom had a camera that used those.
We used to love the candy cigarettes and pretend we were smoking and cool. Now, my parents would probably be sent to CPS, lol. Also, the Bay Area used to have lots of drive-ins, and we'd have family trips to those. I think I remember hi-fis and 45s too - are those record players and the small records? Saturday Night Fever, the Carpenters, and ABBA were some of the first albums/groups I bought with my babysitting money.
I am getting nostalgic. I think I am also showing my age.
I scored 22.
Do you remember the huge advance is photography when the flash was a cube that spun around with each picture taken?
We had an 16mm movie camera with a light bar that could roast a chicken...
LOL!
Wow, that is very interesting. I had never heard about those stoppers before. Since we grew up right in the heart of a city, we could walk half a block to the butcher, baker, laundry, cobbler, seafood market, magazine store, etc. Each was a separate specialty shop. When my grandfather visited, he'd fish for fresh eel in the Eel River in Northern CA, or buy us fresh lobster. I do get nostalgic when my dad takes me down that street (like he did in July) and it's all Starbucks and GAP and chain stuff like that. Even the old Woolworth is gone. I think we've talked about that before...
