Blueridge Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) ...and came home with 3 (12) packs of toilet paper :confused: and a set of new sheets for us. Oh, the sheets were on sale for $2.95. He just had to get them. How sweet (I thought). I opened them, washed them, and made the bed. They felt like burlap. Really. Hard, scratchy burlap. I wanted to run screaming when he suggested...well, you know...Can you say friction burns? :eek: I think I may have to *lose* the new sheets under a huge pile of laundry. Merry Christmas! :biggrinjester: Editing to add a space, so that nobody thinks we have enough room in this house for 312 rolls of TP! :) Edited November 30, 2011 by Blueridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Oh, that says 3 packs of 12. In the preview it looks like 312 packs. :D As for the sheets, yes, loosing them might be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I thought 312 too and my jaw dropped! LOLOL! Is this one of those instances where we revert to the mentality of 'It's the thought that counts?' Make the bed up with the new sheets right before you have to go out of town for the night and maybe once he lays on them HE'LL be the one to lose them....out in the garage in the rag bin or something ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 He must have the same irrational fear of running out of TP that my dh has! Not everything is the bargain it seems, I guess! Burlap-y sheets would definitely be re-purposed! This cracked me up! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is what comes to my mind...3 12 packs of ....Mike's right? You could save the sheets for art projects or costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 No don't throw away the sheets!!! It could be a gentle hint to him that you aren't up for....well you know. ;) Whenever you just want sleep--start taking the sheets out of the linen closet while he can see you. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorMom Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I read '312" as well!!! My mom used to be so paranoid about a nuclear war it wasn't even funny- we seriously had a pantry that was dedicated to it. Oddly enough - it was filled ot the brim with toilet paper and canned green beans. She was odd...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetMissMagnolia Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 lol :iagree: I'd have to lose the sheets too (or keep them way way back in the linen closet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd stain the sheets--tea, coffee, nailpolish, whatever you might reasonably get on your sheets and then, in order to get the stain out of course, soak them in bleach. For several days. Ooops...:D I'm lucky--Dh is really picky about having soft sheets and even softer TP. (There's the silver lining right? It's the sheets that are like burlap, not the TP.)

Blueridge Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yes, the TP is like burlap, too (Scott)! I think I'm going to quietly give the sheets...I didn't even mention their vivid neon turquoise color, did I...to dd14 so she can quickly cut them up and sew them into something else! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd say he just bought really inexpensive dropcloths for painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd say he just bought really inexpensive dropcloths for painting. :iagree: My first thought as well. Any sheets for $3 is a bad, bad sign! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 . They felt like burlap. Really. Hard, scratchy burlap.I think I may have to *lose* the new sheets under a huge pile of laundry. :) They are just fabric, you know---they could become a nice shirt for DH...heh..heh...heh...ahem....Ho ho ho. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 They are just fabric, you know---they could become a nice shirt for DH...heh..heh...heh...ahem....Ho ho ho. :D Excellent idea... something *soft and comfortable* for dh to wear while he's sitting in the doghouse on Christmas morning. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 .....I think I may have to *lose* the new sheets under a huge pile of laundry. Merry Christmas! :biggrinjester: :) Yeah, just make sure there is no wet laundry....I would wonder how well the dye is set in them. You may end up with a pile of tie-dye. :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
