I am impressed!! Sadly in our house I am usually the TP offender. My husband may want to marry you now.
-----
[BusyDad] How's his cookin?
ROFL!!!! How much are your seminars? And do you guarantee results??? :)
-----
[BusyDad] Wait... you mean I have to do this more than once??
Holy crap! (pardon the pun). The only time I've seen TP folded like that is the first night of a hotel vacation...
You are making the others look even more lame! ;)
-----
[BusyDad] shhh... keep your voice down. d Wife will bust in here any second now and totally nail me for false advertising.
Will you be posting a step by step how to video? I need to make sure my hubs is available to view that. FUNNY!
Hey and I added you to my list of blogs. Love reading you!
-----
[BusyDad] Like a great work of art, that may not be reproduceable. And thanks!! (I'll get you on my next update as well).
Dude, I think you've gone beyond the call of duty on this one. Now you're all hotel-like...WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!
-----
[BusyDad] Momentary lapse of testosterone. Don't worry, I am back. And leaving a trail of raised toilet seats behind me.
I am crying over here..I totally dragged my husband over here to show him how the BD does toliet paper!! I think he mumbled something like someone needs to stop you before the truth gets out that husbands can be taught how to do this. LOL
-----
[BusyDad] I'm sorry he had to be a pawn in this campaign. But it's for the better treatment of husbands everywhere.
I'm making my husband look at this post...
-----
[BusyDad] I haven't decided yet whether they will end up loving or hating me for it.
WTG BD! Just started my "bh"ing 4 the night and came here 1st. I M trying 2 B like a tweenager and C how many TM shorcuts I can use. (I actually don't know any, I am making them up as I go).
----
[BD] ur my bff brb...
Slowly but surely...
-----
[BusyDad] Tomorrow? Remembering to light a match.
That's too funny! It's not the hubby who I have TP issues with. It's the kids making it disappear!!!
Keep rebuilding that rep! We know that not all males are 'refill' challenged, don't we ;-)
Adorable BD, adorable!
-----
[BusyDad] It's not the refilling I hate. It's the fact that the little spring loaded bar keeps flinging apart. And when I fill these things, I'm usually not in the most opportune position to go chasing after the rogue piece, if you catch my drift.
But, how is it when no one is watching? I am terrible about this too. The hubster, the rocket scientist, goes insane when I leave only a scrape of one square and nothing else within reach. I think it's called 'passive-aggression.'
Etcetera -
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Ok, time to switch to the alter ego... I think it's called smart.
I am stunned by this act. haha just kidding. Just starting my blog hopping for the night! I'm getting ready to go whip up a bloody mary!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] You should be. I am too. That's why I took a picture!
This is TOTAL BS! You hardly ever changed the TP at home. I have never seen it like that. BS! BS! BS! Now go buy me some shoes!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] ... and it's aaaalll downhill from here folks. It was a fun evening!
You so got busted.
-----
[BusyDad] It was only a matter of time... but I really did do that all my myself!!
wow that's like a hotel!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Casa del Buzzee!
Okay, seriously, did you hire a maid? Because my cleaning lady does that, too, but my husband has never tried to take credit for it.
I love it. I'm sending the link to my husband. Thanks for the link, darlin', and you put me in a class with two of my favorite women bloggers, an act for which I am very honored!!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] That was actually me... but d Wife called me out just now. It was a one time thing. But give me credit for figuring out the hotel fold without help from Google. All 3 of you are on my so-cool-they're-hot bloggers list, of course.
Bonus points, buzzeedad. Origami with TP, I'm mightily impressed. DH is way bottom of the totem pole -- a new roll doesn't even make it out of the cupboard. It's expected to make it way OUTTA there on its own LOL!
--Pomtini
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Someone neeeeds to get on that - inventing self-walking/loading TP.
Thing is... here... if my hubs put the TP back on the roll? I'd be bitching him out big time.
We keep ours on the counter, where Braden can't reach it. Why?
The TP Incident
Forgive the link in comments, but you'll love the photo. ;-)
-----
[BusyDad] HAHAHHAA!!! That kid. Funny. Always bare assed.
Major suck up! If that lasts beyond two days, I will be very proud of you myself ;)
Chilly Chill
-----
[BuzzeeDad] It didn't last 2 hours!
All I gotta say is: WOW.
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Me too! hahaha
Dude... go and buy the wife some shoes. She wanted rain boots. Right? Shoes make the mommy happy. When mommy is happy... everyone is happy. BUY SHOES NOW!!! Folded TP does not make me happy.
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Heeey! I thought you were on my side! You know how many cases of Newcastle a pair of shoes can buy?
YER!!! Amen Brother!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] For the cause, yo!
So proud of you, BD. Please sign me up for your seminar. I feel the need to come out of the lazy-ass closet and admit who I really am, right here, right now. I'm Pinky, and I'm a lazy-ass.
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Me too... I just do this for show.
LOL thanks for the smile. That right there was comic genius....or maybe I am just a sleep deprived parent. Either way.....it made my day.
have a great weekend.
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Ah, let's not worry about how you got there. You laughed? I'm happy!
Even I leave the TP on the top sometimes. I don't leave the seat up tho.
-----
[BuzzeeDad] I leave the seat up. OH! I just killed all my cred.
cool site! i like your theme! i want to invite you to get a copy of my ebook on Rediscovering Your Intelligence from my site. it can be read in one sitting and quite relevant for the family... blessings!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Rediscover? I'm still trying to discover it. I'll check it out, thanks.
The blog hopping pimping post is up :-)
http://asouthernfairytale.blogspot.com/ Peace :-)
-----
[BuzzeeDad] you pimp my back i pimp yours! or something like that ;) I'll check it out as soon as I get thru all these comments. I swear, I should just turn of the blog owner approval thing!! Thanks Rachel!
Nice! Since you're training boys could you somehow get my five year old son to start peeing in the bowl instead of AROUND the toilet?
-----
[BusyDad] Sure thing! (as soon as I figure it out)
Johnny on the Spot in the house to wish you a great weekend !!!!
-----
[BusyDad] And it's only halfway over! We got another night to hop. I'll drop by for a beer later, my man!
*Snort*
Yeah, you have to do it at least twice in a row for it to count...
-----
[BusyDad] Damn! I threw away the instructions!!!
Very impressive. As a recovering half-asser I appreciate the effort it took to complete that task!
-----
[BusyDad] Mind over toilet paper. And a desperate need for a new post.
Wow! That is quite impressive! I seem to be the only one in my household who has the ability to change a tp roll (or at least *demonstrates* that ability!)! Think I may send this pic to my SO... Think he'll get the hint? LOL!
-----
[BusyDad] No, he'll probably curse my existence.
Wow.
I am shocked.
I didn't know men could do this.
Now you just have to teach the cute kid.
I am sooo jealous of Mrs Busy Dad
----
[BusyDad] She would beg to differ. That's only my "stage persona" ;)
I love it... the drama in your comments between you and your wife is hysterical! "BS BS BS!" Too funny.
-----
[BusyDad] Yeah - this blog is raw and uncensored! For your viewing pleasure.
Our TP is sitting on top of the toliet top. The thing came out of the timng in the wall and I can't the thing back in.
My man's pretty anal about that though [no pun intended -seriously!] and the toilet paper has to be on the roll correctly with the flow coming over not behind - and never unspun more than a sheet or two. A-nal...
-----
[BusyDad] I don't insist on much, but in my house, the paper HAS TO flow over, not under as well. Every man must take a stand some time in his life.
That's awesome, BD! I give you huge points (even if it was the first, last and only!).
-----
[BuzzeeDad] The pinnacle of my career as a husband.
I do that when I clean (fold, that is). I think it's a nice touch, although we see right through you, Buzzee. A 1-time foldage does not count (I guess I like to end my words with '-age', huh?)
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Not even a little credit? For figuring it out with zero Googleage?
LOL! That's what we do here!
[BusyDad] What... falsely imply that you regularly do the 'hotel fold' in order to garner admiration across the internet? ;)
I only go as far as making sure the roll spins in whatever direction allows the paper to feed off the top, rather than the back. Folding? Nah! She (mikeswife) might get used to it and expect more out of me. ;)
-----
[BusyDad] Managing expectations. The keystone to any relationship, business, home or otherwise!
haha. great one. At its even paper over the top. The only corect way for TP.
-----
[BusyDad] While I've been outed as a TP folding charlatan, I do maintain the pride in knowing that I ALWAYS fill the roll paper-over-top.
I see also that the toilet seat is down. Well done, fellas.
-----
[BusyDad] I was debating whether or not to light the scented candle as well, but then I thought it would scream "rigged!"
I totally do this. I totally taught my 3 year old how to do this. She is going to have serious issues. Well done Busy Dad.
-----
[BusyDad] When Fury was 3, I'd be happy if he simply resisted the urge to pull all the paper off the roll. Do they have a Guinness Book of World Records category for earliest TP folding?
