Barking Like Seals Here -

[kyburg]

This day is rapidly heading for oblivion - tell me it's going to be soon, okay?

I am officially OUT of the things I prefer to blow my nose with. You know the list.

You run out of the nice Puffs tissues, the ones designed for someone snurfling their way through life? Right, you take it down a notch to the regular stuff.

Then, out of that, you switch to paper napkins.

Then, you steal a roll of toilet paper and hide it in your desk.

Then...then you hit up the paper towels. Yes, you do. Oh, the agony.

You can guess where I am on that list. That, and I am barking like a baby seal. Someone, club me now. Please. I won't hear you coming.

Honest.

My partner carries handkerchiefs. Won't use nice Kleenex at all. Sees them as overindulgent and wasteful.

It's a wonder he doesn't flay his nose.

I used to wonder too

Then I ended up borrowing one of my fiance's clean handkerchiefs to cry into, and found that they start out a lot softer than a aloe vera enhanced kleenex. So they're not really great for a massive cold, but they do for occasional sniffles and sneezes.

Ah, see, these... these are like... sharp. I wash them with good fabric conditioner and everything, but they're sharp.

Ah. See, my fiancee is more the type to carry several handkerchiefs in one pocket, and only use any one of them maybe two, three times tops. I think his pants' pockets probably have a hidden dimension or two built in. I'm talking a half dozen handkerchiefs on hand in extreme cases, and you still can't tell his pockets are full. =P

I love hankerchiefs - I usually carry one. In my jacket pocket. The jacket I didn't take with me to work today. Bugger.

I learned to iron by starting with hankerchiefs - so they were always around growing up.

They beat the hell out of anything other than Puffs.

I feel the exact same way.

Heh. Dearling?

I was where you are.

I am where you'll be.

Until then, you still kicked ass. Lemme know where to send the kleenex.

*blinks* But you got sick first. Know what a scary thought is?

We may just have traded bugs.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I know where I got mine. My whole department has been falling ill with it for six months - it's not easy to catch and requires a lot of contact...more than was possible over three days.

That bug Jim brought home from work last year - now THAT was a bug to worry about.
