Haha. It's called 'Murphy's Law. I enjoyed your little story. My only suggestion is to write out the numbers in words. I read Sasha's rambles, too. Thanks for sharing. Jan

    Yeah well I did the numbers in words and Bob Hartson said to do numbers so I changed them. I give up! HeHe. Thanks. I think I will go back and change it to words.Murphy's Law that's it of course.

I mentioned to Sasha that she inspired you to post rambles, and she said she knew and was proud to motivate your reflections. Thank you for reminding us that our lives are filled with cycles--even simple tissue boxes. (Have you noticed how some brands have far more tissues for the money?) Smiles- Joan

    Yes on value depending on brands. Actually that is one of the few things around here that seem to be comparatively the same price wise, between our various supermarket chains, even where some charge a lot more for a whole lot of other commodities, but you are right about value as to price in a lot of cases. She told me it was you said that about what I said too.

Tissues will always come in handy and a smart person will keep a box or two close by. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.

This is excellent work. Such a simple subject written with a degree of elegance. Love the idea of a cycle of things in and around the house. The artwork is amazing! That's what actually drove me to look at the writing. Nice job.

    Thanks Hugh I don't believe we have met before. This was just another ramble. Rambles are inspired by my good friend and fellow FStorian Sasha in Mexico. Will look for your stuff as I have time. I am a great believer in reciprocating on reviewing.

That is so true. I have the same problem with batteries. I have wall clocks in every room. When one battery dies it is just a matter of hours before the rest die.

We have three on the go at any one time Geoff, but not five, but you've struck a perfect monitor my friend, if one runs out, one can bet his shirt on the rest. Perhaps you can tell the gambling sites, they can bet which is next! Heh heh, well done. Good job,blessings, Roy

    Hey Bro Sasha my old friend in Mexico reminded me the batteries in our A/c remotes do the same thing. All simultaneously but why not good idea to change them all at once. Thanks Bro
