Tarheel Heather Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yes that is right! After visually seeing my day equated to squares of tp, I must take a needed break from here. After all 24 squares goes quicker than you think, and just seeing where my time is, well it's a wonder I get anything done!:001_smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon H in IL Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The only thing I got from that is that Heather's taking a bit of a board break. Come back when you're coherent, dear. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I am going to guess she is almost out of TP and can't make it to the store until later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Do you mean the sh*ttier the day, the more tp you've used? Mine would be a 3. Pretty good day, here. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle T Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 actually I'm confused. Sometimes I have bad days, but I don't know how many squares of toilet paper that would equal. Am I missing something? Michelle T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 FWIW....She is one of the posters who want you to go to her blog to read what they have posted there. If you go to her blog there is probably an article on there somewhere that will explain the post. Personally, I don't bother. NOT intending to say anything derogatory about the OP, but I figure if posters want you to go to thier blog, it is only to boost the readership counter there. If they have anything to add to this forum they will type it here, or cut/paste it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that those who invite you to view something on their blog are doing it to up their counters. And rather than take up the space on here, that someone else is paying for, you might be invited to view the original on someone's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She feels she's spending too much time here, its probably about as cut and dried as that. Nothing sinister there. :chillpill: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I read it as a visual exercise. Get 24 squares of TP. Take away the # of squares spent for each thing you do (ie 8 squares of sleeping, 1 square of housework, etc...) And since you only get 24 squares, Heather felt like she wasn't going to "waste" a square on the boards. Or it could somehow be related to a foul expression that goes something like: Nah, I can't post that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foofy Coffee Lover Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 With the rising prices of TP (and everything), we must take care with those valuable resources! :001_smile: In terms of life, I think of the ad for some credit card that could go something like: Curriculum and supplies $200 (dreaming here) Gas $400 (more like a nightmare) Food $500 etc... Time with your family -- priceless... I think I shall strive to use my squares carefully! They do run out so quickly!:tongue_smilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely she's reprioritizing her time right now to deal with some of the things going on in her life. And in light of a recent thread here, I personally think it was a reference to: "Not a square to spare." Anyone? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather is not an attention monger. She is a very valuable part of this board, and though I totally understand her reasons, I am sad that she's feeling the need to take a break.

genie Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Oh, Heather, you'll be missed around here, but I totally get it. I refuse to visualize your analogy, because there are still a few weeks left of summer, and I don't want the guilt I would feel if I analyzed my toilet paper usage. Hugs, doll!
