Step in the 'way back' machine.  Am I the only one who had shelves of bottled water for Y2K?

@Bird mama

Oh my goodness I just had a fit of giggles all over again! At the time of Y2K I was a manager for a lady's clothing store and we had a quirky customer with the initial I. Well "I" would come into the store and bend our ears about getting ready for the impending doom, she was harmless but she would actually give us lists of what to buy and one of the items was the parmalot (sp) milk that didn't need refrigeration. She had her way of explaining things that made you think of the Twilight Zone music.

Here's a question: how many indicate with an initial your pillow or your SO's pillow when you strip the beds of linens -- so you don't mix up your pillows?

My in laws were the best and when they were alive, we could literally go shopping in their house!  They owned a two family house and used the upstairs apartment fr storage.  From tp to pork roasts, we could always find it in abundance.

Now, back to our zany thread.. you guys put me to shame because I'm down to six rolls of tp and no paper towels.

You need to make a grocery store run TOMORROW. NO paper towels? Heresy woman. I always have two of the huuuuge double rolls in the cupboard. Maybe that's why I can't fully stock up on tp? And 6 isn't enough tp. Not nearly enough.

I still like incandescent bulbs in lamps.  I did replace all but one of the fluorescent shop lights and lighting in the basement with LEDs.

Those basement fluorescents will be the last to change over as the LEDs are smaller in size and their ends do not fit into the fluorescent fixtures -- an electrician would have to change that out for us. Maybe someday, after we replace our lawn!  We do have certain priorities here!

I was concerned that the water board wouldn't be ready for those extra 2 digits in the year.  I never feared armageddon or anything, just wanted to know my pets would have clean water as well as my old parents.  I ended up using the water to fill the washer, a couple of times :-)

@JustJazzmom

oooohhh, never thought of that but I know the difference because my pillow is harder than his.  My husband likes a soft squishy pillow. 

I'm kinda crazy when it comes to pillows because I have to have it just right and I wash them every week..with bleach.

@JustJazzmom....my DH and I each have our own room, own bed, own pillow. No mix up. I share my bed with my cats. They sleep where they want to sleep. No initials needed.
