Michelle, there was a thread a while back that was just posting what adds were on the thread at any given time, plus what 2 threads were before and after the posted thread. It got sort of hilarious at times :haha:

Be careful with baby wipes. They have lead to UTIs in more than one person.

UTI's or allergic reactions?

UTI I cant see how, the good ones have enough disinfectant in them to prevent that.

Trees are getting more scarce and what there are is getting higher priced. May be why the TP is getting higher also.

Those immigrants may have already asked for a raise and the TP companies are having to raise the prices to pay the workers.

From such an innocent question I must admit I have been well entertained. Learned more about Bidet's than I wanted to. Much more about wiping than necessary. :haha:

I have to assume that Sam's Club rising cost is linked to Wal-Marts negative Stock quotes. Either way Dollar General does seem a viable option.

Thank you for your help and the mental images herein.

Disinfectant kills 'good' bacteria as well as(if not better than) 'bad' bacteria. You get an overgrowth of resistant 'bad' bacteria which leads to UTIs.

I'm not sure if it is directly related but I know that the paper mills here in Maine have been having a rough time of it lately. Many of them were closed for a long period and many are still closed and it is thought that they will never reopen. I did some work at the GP mill in Old Town this past summer (where they make among other products Northern TP) – folks there joked that they were lucky because people “always had to wipe their backsides” so their jobs would eventually be OK. Other mills, such as the one in Brewer where they make brown paper as in brown paper bags, are thought to be beyond hope – the increased use of recycling and plastic bags is just too much for them to compete with.

Of course this has become a political issue here, with everyone having their own take on what is wrong with the industry; some folks are saying that it is mostly due to Maine Business Tax Laws, which tax a company based on physical assets. Some of the folks working in these mills are using equipment circa 1920. It's not that the paper companies can not afford new machinery – they can afford the increased taxes they would be charged to own the machinery. Problem is that they are competing against places like China where state of the art equipment can be used because the tax laws are different. Others say that the industry brought this upon themselves with OSHA and EPA fines (a somewhat recent acquisition attempt was dashed as the company interested in acquiring the mills did not want to pay 150 years worth of back fines) . Paper mills are notoriously dangerous places to work and very definitely do not have a good environmental record.
