NEW & IMPROVED! AND LESS OF IT!

15:01 Jan 21 2011
Times Read: 884


Has anyone noticed the new form of inflation, down-sized consumer goods?



It's true. Many of the products you buy are shrinking to keep you from noticing that costs are going up. But it will also give the impression that the economy is in better shape than it really is; since the overall quantity of goods shipped will likely remain unchanged.



I'm actually okay with food costs going up a little; I could stand to lose a few pounds so this could help me manage portion sizes.



But. Dude. Reducing the size of my toilet paper roll is just MEAN.



You bastards!

You cruel, fucking bastards.

*shakes a fist*

Yes, I have noticed that.



The jar of peanut butter that used to be a cylinder and 16oz. now has ribs (for who's pleasure?) and is 13.6oz.



The half-gallon of ice cream is now not quite a half-gallon.



The pound of pasta is now a 13oz. box.



Of course the prices haven't gone up... much. So everything is good, right?



FEH. Stupid, made up economy...

I have noticed that the quality of my underwear has gone down while the price remains the same. Now you may laugh, but the elastic band around the top is almost literally sharp causing it to grate against my skin.

I don't see the sense in making less toilet paper on the roll. That is one of those things people always need. But now I see why it seems I've been having to go to the store for it more often.



As you can see, I don't look at how much is on the roll when I buy it. I just buy it.

'Zactly right, Abstract!



See, I can moderate the amounts of food I take in, but I still gotta poop. And that's a pretty static figure regardless of portion size.



Abstract sees the inherent cruelty in this.



I don't consciously make the calculation between poops per week and square feet of 2-ply sheets on a roll. I try not to think about it, really.



But now I'll HAVE to.

Two squares per bowel movement. :P



We bought a huge thing of toilet paper the other day... 18 rolls- Monday.

We have 10 rolls now. Eight rolls a week. O.o Hmmm.. I honestly think my guy eats it. When I am home alone, a single roll lasts me a week....

As much as I love all of your statistical poop analysis, I am distracted from its inherent fascination factor by one simple thing...I read Morrigon's final word as "furry."



After her post regarding her underpants...I now need post traumatic stress treatment. :(

Less food to eat = less poop right? So in a way it evens out.



O.o Or you could always get a bidet? Heheh

Is this a sign we are returning to some situation similar to the pre-war state, where things like food came in small, medium and large portions (price adjusted depending on the portion) or are we morphing into Europe?

I've noticed the smaller width on the toilet tissue rolls. They tell you you are getting a mega roll but not anything about the width. Of course it's a good thing that fast food items are smaller. Less of what we shouldn't be eating anyway.

One of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

He draws cool stuff on his kids' lunch bags, every day.

NOT YET

02:56 Jan 04 2011
Times Read: 1,157






Nope. I'm not taking down my stupid icicle lights and Christmas decorations until I'm the last effin' house on the street to do so. See, I like Christmas for a lot of reasons, and I'm not quite ready to let go of it. I never feel like I really enjoy Christmas like I'm supposed to.



I'm either too busy or too stressed from work. And packing everything away seems like more work. And more stress. Fuck it, I say.



It can wait.



I don't need any encouragement to be lazy. Believe you me. All my neighbors are over-achievers -- 90% of the houses on my street have already been de-Christmasified. I tell my neighbors I'm leaving all my Christmas stuff up until The Epiphany. They nod and agree that it 's a good idea.



But I know mine will be the last house with lights and greenery.



I like the way the neighborhood looks when it's covered by the emblems and ornaments of Yule. Everyone seems happy and cheerful. Even the Shitsteins (not their real name) and the Bickersons (also not their real name).



Soon, dear reader, the neighborhood will be dark at night and the neighbors will go back to being the quiet strangers who wave and nod politely as I drive by.



It's inevitable.



I'm just not ready for it yet.

Just get some stuff for the other holidays through the year to hang with the lights and you have a reason to keep them up all year round. Hang hearts for VDay. Shamrocks for St. Pattys. I think you get the gist. lol

Ya know, January 13 is National Rubber Ducky Day. I gotta keep my lights up for THAT.

You are allowed to leave your holiday lights up for as long as you want als long as they are not:

* Colored

* Blinking

* Flashing

* Disco inspired

* LED



The only exception is twinkle lights.



*That is all*

I do believe there is a song called "Rednecked Woman" that has something in it about leaving your lights up the front porch all year long.



Twinkle away suagr- it does keep the dreary winterboos away...
