After I wretched my breakfast over the thought of this thread’s subject matter, it occurred to me that Pittgirl is doing us all a public service with The Burgh Blog. Too bad Seinfeld is still not in production, he coulda done an episode based on this thread alone.

I see the glass as half full here. It is long overdue for Pittsburgh to shed its heavy industrial steel image. The lady from Wilkins could well be our next Henry Clay Frick or George Westinghouse.

Let’s EMBRACE her craft as our new regional identity. I say rename our local football team the Pittsburgh Tampons, replace that dreary black and gold with red and… um… white. The Pirates could have Butt Wipe Day, where reusable cloth TP, bearing the logo of the Philadelphia Phillies, (or Barry Bonds) would be handed out. Bring your own Ziploc® bag.

Cleveland subsequently copies our success, and launch an entire industry devoted to recycling used Saran Wrap® into green condooms. The Rust Belt is saved.

Mrs. MacCumbee will be having the last laugh when her enterprise takes the country by storm and 100 years from now people will wonder what all the stink was about.

And why is she talking about Ostomy bags in comparison to the grossness of her poo? Am I missing her point there?? It seemed like a random topic in the middle of her post…

The article was about her natural paper products including cloth personal wipes which the article leads us to believe is for wiping your bum after you do a number 2 and then she washes and re-uses them? In my opinion and in the opinion of others on this board – that’s just gross. I’m sorry if she doesn’t like my opinion, but that’s why it’s mine and according to the Constitution of the United States, I am free to speak my mind in whatever forum I want to thank you very much!!

On a side note – I’ve known people that have had ostomoy bags – when you think about them, they are gross, especially when they accidentally burst in public as what happened to a classmate of mine in the 8th grade – but those people that had them didn’t have them by choice, but by medical necessity. Unless I have misinterpreted the article, which I went back and re-read this morning after reading all the posts – this woman chooses to wipe her bum with a re-usable cloth wipe. And some of us think that’s gross. So to try to compare her grossness to the grossness of someone who had to have a medically necessary poo bag (as I affectionately call them) – it’s just doesn’t make sense.

Anyway….

Suck it up, get over and MOVE FORWARD.
