One Square....
You may have seen this story on the news this morning.
Singer Sheryl Crow wants you to start using one square of toilet paper every time you go to the bathroom.
She says this will help the environment.
Is she crazy???
Have you ever tried this?
You know what I mean.
You go to use the bathroom.
You have to use it real bad.
You get started doing your do.
And then you realize there's one square left and the other toilet paper rolls are somewhere out of your reach.
It happened to me just this past weekend.
You should have seen me trying to hop to the other bathroom to get more rolls....well, maybe not.
Trust me. Not good.
I know...too much information right?!?!?
Well, back to the point here....you need at least 10-20 squares if not more than that to feel comfortable when you're done in the restroom.
I just think this is a crazy story and an even crazier idea.
I'm going to have to figure out how to help the environment another way.
That's my thought for today.

Maybe too much information, Val, but you said what everybody had to be thinking. Sheryl Crow got what she wanted: publicity. With some show biz folks, bad, weird or negative publicity is as good as positive publicity. Crow should know better; you can't soak up the sun with only one sheet of toilet paper.

Remind me never to shake hands with Sheryl Crow.
It'd be easier, and a lot more sane, to just suggest using LESS toilet paper and not go so radical as "one square".

My suggestion Ladies, is to carry disposable personal wipes (or baby wipes). You'd be amazed at how fresh you feel. Use one to wipe. And then one square of tp to dry. More than one square but possibly better than 10 squares of tp for the environment.

Did you ever see that episode of "Seinfeld", where Elaine was in the restroom with Jerry's new girlfriend (who was in the other stall), and the girlfriend would not even give her a "square". You cannot skimp on toliet paper, you just can't.
