Matt posted this on his wallpaper blog recently and I thought it was hilarious. I have a thing about toilet paper and to me this is a nightmare!
I had a nice lunch with an old friend yesterday. She suffered a stroke a few years back and I had not seen her for years. She is able to walk but not comfortably down stairs. She never had any health problems prior to that, it was an aneurism that started in her neck and then a blood clot travelled up to her brain and she suffered a stroke. It was the year her husband retired. They had just moved into a lovely new home and were in the middle of renovations. She still suffers from an unexplained dizziness. M is going to get her the name of a new nerve medicine that has helped his mom for a different problem. It may be worth a try. She now remembers that she suffered mysterious headaches on the right side of her head where the stroke was, for about 6 months prior. They told her it might be menopausal symptoms, etc. But if you complain about headaches, there is not much the doctors can do, or know about it.
So I get the odd backache, and various aches and pains when the weather is humid, etc, but suddenly it doesn't seem like a lot to complain about. And my friend is a lot better off than many others.
In other news, I needed a new non-stick frying pan and got one that says it is PFOA free. I had no idea what it meant, but from what I can google, it means it is TEFLON free and made with ceramics. There has been some controversy on the safety of TEFLON.

OMY Chrisine this toilette is so funny!!
I always place 2 spare rolls on the shelf above each toilet, so we never run out. People who sit a lot tend to develop blood clots that travel to the brain and cause strokes. This is why it is important to walk every now and then.
I ALWAYS have spares on the shelf! Sorry about your friend, strokes happen a lot. My sister died at 62 after a massive stroke. Valerie
Love this photo. I got rid of all my teflon stuff and only use stainless steel now. HOWEVER, our automatic rice cooker has a teflon pot where the teflon scrapes off. It's the only kind they sell though.
Our neighbor lost her husband a few months ago and now her son suddenly came down with a stroke. He's only in his 40-50s! What a shock. After ministering after her husband for 6 months before he died, now she's having to watch over her son. It's so sad. We have to count our own blessings.
sorry about your sister Valerie.
That is a sad story Kay.
I have a rice cooker without teflon. Maybe you should shop around online.
