I have allergies I am often clearing my nose at home I always use tissue paper. Its soft, readily available in every bathroom and cheap Does anybody else use toilet paper instead of tissue paper?

My wife leaves tissue boxes in every room. As far as what I use, it tends to be handkerchiefs. After my mother died, my dad would not buy tissue but used the toilet paper in the bathroom, saying that is what he learned to do in WWII. I always made sure I had hankies visiting there.

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5112 | I was never sold much on the compact fluorescent bulbs versus incandescent being the right move. When LED bulbs first came out, meh. But now I am sold on the LED. Eventually will have 'nothing but'. We replaced a fluorescent bulb fixture over the sink yesterday; the old one I broke trying to get a new fluorescent tube bulb in it [I think previous owner f'd it up first is my excuse] ... not worth fixing. The new one is LED and nice and bright; the tube you'd never know at first glance isnt fluorescent except it is mighty bright. And best of all, expected to last over 20 years easy.

About two years ago our local hardware store (Crappy Tire) had a $1 sale on 60W (8W) LEDs and that point in time I changed everything out. At our place in California all of the lights are LEDs. Been living here for almost a year and have yet to change a bulb. Each light paid for itself after 160 hours of use. At .12/kWH. At 19.231 hours to save a kilowatt (1000/52) and 8.333 kilowatts to use up a dollar. On a light that we usually leave on (kitchen or living room) that's less than a month. |

Now you have more choices. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | I bought a variety of them to try in different places around the house. The "blue" ones (4000k+) are way to harsh on my eyes for a reading light, but I have a 3000k or 3200k bulb that works well. Incandescent is at 2700k, and i see now that you can get a 2700k LED.

How about the millions of others worldwide whose bday is also that day. All Jesus? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
