A couple of summer's ago, I purchased a mirrored bathroom medicine cabinet that's roomier than most. It contained storage slots for three additional rolls. Since it's of the recessed variety, and because I did not properly account for the studs in the wall, the installation took an entire weekend. No matter, I had solved the no toilet paper in the bathroom problem for my wife and two daughters. Not... But at least there's a longer time interval between refills. Surprised? Probably not. :) Ray ps I love the tree house graphic. Nicely done. Hi Michael’s Dad,

I thought that I had this one all figured out. A couple of summer’s ago, I purchased a mirrored bathroom medicine cabinet that’s roomier than most. It contained storage slots for three additional rolls. Since it’s of the recessed variety, and because I did not properly account for the studs in the wall, the installation took an entire weekend. No matter, I had solved the no toilet paper in the bathroom problem for my wife and two daughters.

Not…

But at least there’s a longer time interval between refills.

Surprised?

Probably not. :)

Life skills that will rock them to their very core when THEIR teens need to be taught said skills. Or is that karma I'm thinking of? LOL! YES!

Education is key. I think many teens can now feel empowered to change the roll with confidence, now that they have accurate information and easy to read, step by step instructions. You have done a great public service. <p style="color:#D0D0FF"><i>(MD) I'm a firm believer in reaching them where they are.

Maybe along the lines of "leave a room better than you found it"? <p style="color:#D0D0FF"><i>(MD) Well, that's always a dream... but I have to work with what I have here.

(MD) Well, that’s always a dream… but I have to work with what I have here. Baby steps toward responsible behavior.

(MD) That’s more of a graduate-level study program than a tip. I have to keep my sights on realistic targets at this point.

I have two teenagers. It's never too late to pass along life skills. . . even if you've been trying since they've learned how to use the potty.
