Random Thoughts or Whatever

Getting too political! :rant:


Why is it that one cannot get the last bit of toothpaste outta that there tube?

Now here's a deep probing random thought that deserves some serious consideration this day, eh? :bigok:

Because it's easier to get another tube. If there isn't another tube available that last bit can be extracted., takes strong fingers but by gawd you can get it outta there.

I squeegee the tube on the edge of the counter and push the remnants out of the nozzle. Pretty much nothing left after getting the last bit at the nozzle with the bristles.

I use an very old and used up roll on cylinder shaped Old Spice deodorant container like a baby rolling pin starting at the end of the tube placed on the counter and pressure rolling up towards the opening.
Works perfectly with the use of one hand.

Hey, I was raised by parents who grew up in the Great Depression !
"Waste not, want not", Use it up, make it do, or do without"!
And money is certainly not a concern in my life.
I suck the last bit out of the end of the tube, as no one else uses my tooth paste, being I`m a solo act.

Interposing a random thought - what if they never really fixed the ozone and they're just lying about it? Like - they lie about jfk and ufo's and probably 9/11, they could probably get away with lying about the ozone. They made like one chemical illegal, and anyways they still use it in india... amongst other places...

I've had a really rough time transplanting veg starts out into full sun this year, even now in September. I have had alot of plastic things melting or warping quickly with exposure. I have had clothes on the line sun bleach for being left out 2 days... seems like all my rope decided to give up and fray this year... hoses giving up and blowing up. That kinda thing. I just feel like they're lying to us about the ozone, probably.

Well, what if they lied about the ozone in the first place. I mean, liars lie, that's what they do.

Well, thanks.... it's kind of a life approach, ya gotta get to the bottom of things, at least to the point of being able to honestly say to yourself, I really don't know, and then, rather than fill in the blank, leave it hang.

Funny about the pliers, I was about to post that.

Yeah, they have been on the flexi tube for quite some time now, hence my frugal adaptation of max extraction techniques !

Squeeze and suck the last little bit, you`ll feel better for the conservative effort, knowing you did your part !

Better than that - blow the tube back up, add water, put the lid back on, and shake it up. Good for another go or two.:thumbsup:

Too hard doing that with toothpaste. I am doing that with just empty shampoo or soap bottles. Put a tiny water in shake and good for a couple more washes. Except one has to be alert of somebody keep filling to mess with you.
 
I own an inherited burial plot that I cannot sell because one of the other owners, my brother has vanished without a trace. Today through an unrelated set of circumstances I acquired a spot in another burial plot for free. The two cemetery's are on opposite sides of the same road. Maybe I'll fill up the extra spot with some amps and records?
