No Scott Toilet Paper?

Nurses COVID

Published

Why is my favorite TP no longer available? What is happening with our distribution network? Why no Scott?

What other shortages are you all encountering?

It's possible NurseBlaq has teenage boys. That would explain the goat reference. When my boys were teenagers they would eat anything that didn't try to eat them first. Entire boxes of cereal, loaves of bread and gallons of milk would disappear overnight. My oldest once ate a bowl of cold spaghetti noodles right out of the fridge. Explains how he started eighth grade my height (5 ft 1) and grew nearly 7 inches over the school year.

NurseBlaq - I don't quite get the inference re 'kids eat like goats'. I'm guessing they have voracious appetites and eat just about anything?

Never heard it before.

They're super greedy! They don't stop eating. My grocery bill is higher than my utility bill.

My preteen son and I are the same height (5'4) and he can fit my shoes. The oldest is over 6'. And you're absolutely right, they're always packing away food and never seem to get full.

Actually goats are categorized as selective browsers and are actually pretty picky eaters. They love shrubs but not grass and in 25 years on the goat farm I never saw one eat a tin can.

Once I went to buy fertile eggs from fancy chickens to put under our hens. The people had a goat tied to a long chain around a tree. There was bare dirt on the ground and no bark on the tree where that goat could reach.

Yes! Bill Grogan's goat ate three red shirts right off the line. Jimmy the goat was partial to dynamite. Not very picky if you ask me!

I don't know about that but a goat did once eat my math homework

The ground was probably bare from the animal pacing and the bark on the tree could have been eaten or rubbed off if the goat in question had horns. Horns get itchy

Every goat I've ever seen was always eating. My children are always eating. Same thing to me. ?
