"No, We Don't Supply Toliet Paper Anymore... People Kept Stealing It"!
By Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee
Gloria Faye Brown Bates/Granny Gee..... Summer 2013......................................................................
Riding down the road with his friend, John asked him to stop at a local store. They'd just gotten back from a trip they'd been on. Home was probably ten miles away... but, John couldn't wait to go to the bathroom.
Earlier, he and Jim had eaten lunch in a town fifty miles away. They ate hotdogs, french fries... drank Pepsi Cola. John began to feel a strange sensation in his stomach. It was gurgling, and he knew he 'had to go'! The hotdogs had made him sick... probably damn food poisoning. He knew the symptoms.
They pulled into the parking lot. John told Jim he couldn't wait for him, he 'had to go'. He didn't want 'to go' in his pants! He walked, almost ran to get inside the store.
At the counter was an older, fat guy in a dirty tee shirt. He looked nasty... John didn't give a damn. He just wanted to use his bathroom.
He asked the old guy if he could use the bathroom. The old guy told him it wasn't a public bathroom... but, 'if' he had to use it... the door was... right there.
John entered the bathroom, closed the door. He began to frantically unbuckle his belt... jerked his pants down. No sooner than he began to sit... everything in his stomach gushed out of him.
He began making the sounds everyone would laugh at, including him... but, this wasn't funny! He knew the old man could hear his... misery.
He sat there with his head in his hands. Damn, his stomach was cramping. Finally, John felt like he had finished. He turned to get toliet paper, discovered there wasn't any on the spool... what the f___!
He stood up, pulled his pants up just enough not to soil them... went to the door. He opened it a crack, saw the old guy sitting on his stool. He asked him if he had toliet paper.
The old guy looked at him... blinked his eyes, said... "no, we don't supply toliet paper anymore, people began stealing it'. John looked closer at the old guy, asked him was he kidding. The old guy told him, "no, I'm not kidding. We don't supply toliet paper anymore. People began stealing it"
John stood there a moment... to see if the old guy was joking. He soon realized the old guy was telling him the truth. In fact, the old guy had begun to read his newspaper.
Son of b____! John was pissed. What in the hell was he going to do now? He finished pulling his pants up gingerly. He prayed he could 'sit just right' on the seat until he got home, not mess his pants up. Ain't this just a b___!
John came out of the bathroom, let the door slam. The old guy didn't look up as John walked by. John really wanted to slap the hell out of the old guy. He managed to walk out of the store without further ado.
He walked to the pickup, got in. He adjusted his buttocks so, he wouldn't soil his pants. He sat there the whole while until he got home... his cheeks squeezed together.
In his mind, he cussed that old guy out. He couldn't believe what the old guy had said. "No, we don't supply toliet paper anymore, people began stealing it".

Note by this author: This really happened to someone we know... it isn't funny... but, it is... truthfully, if it were one of us... we wouldn't be laughing.

I Will Know Only When ...The Time Comes
I Will Know Only When ...The Time Comes
By Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee
Tommy's Chest... This is all I have of ... my son. Opening the lid to this chest is one of the hardest things to do. I have tried... it's heavy with grief. I've opened it twice since May 29, 2010. Inside are Tommy's things... also, my tears from when I looked in it.
I guess it stands to reason, for me to have Tommy on my mind a lot lately. Another holiday will soon be here... all mothers think of their children. Holidays were special through the years... made that way for a child.
Looking at Tommy's photos... I can't believe he's not here. In his photos, I see a strong, big guy with a sunshine smile. I can still hear his voice in my mind. Oh my God... I really can.
I still know what it sounds like. Suppose I ever heard someone speak like him? I don't know what reaction I would have. My stomach feel like butterflies are flying around in it. Panicky...
I've been thinking about his chest ... in my mind, I can see it. It's a beautiful, deep red, upholstered chest. It sits in my art room... I wish I could get it, bring it to the table... open it, take the few things out that are... his.
I would like to hold them in my hands... close my eyes... 'feel' them with my heart. Smell them... to see if I can find the scent of my son. Maybe on his hat... the hat he had on... at his last moment on the beach.
There's a plastic box in his chest... one that I would have to open, take the contents out. This ... is the box that can cause me intense pain, grief. I can't talk about it... now.
I don't know if I will get the courage to take his chest down from where it sits... bring it to the table at this holiday. I will know only when ...the time comes....

PHOTOS OF A RESCUED PUPPY NAMED CAMIE …(PRECIOUS CAMO)
PHOTOS OF A RESCUED PUPPY NAMED CAMIE… (PRECIOUS CAMO)
By Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee
Below, you will see a little puppy snatched out of the arms of Death, as she lay dying on the cold, wet ground. The ground had begun claiming her little body… maggots fell off as she was lifted into arms that held onto her… arms that meant to save, rescue her.
From that moment on… the struggle began to save a little puppy named Camo. Her new Mommy cheated Death…. ‘No, you can’t have her, I won’t let her die here all alone, suffering, crying for someone to care’!
From that moment, magic happened. Camo became ‘Camie’… renamed by her angel. Her angel who was her new Mommy’s friend in another country. Someone who’d been ‘there’ for her Mommy, when her son, Tommy… died.
Her new Mommy began giving her medicines, treatments paid for by Camie’s Angel… her angel who looked after her from another country.
Once Camie’s new Mommy’s friends began finding out that she’d rescued a little baby puppy from Death’s arms… they also, began to send money to Camie’s vet … to keep money going to be able to give Camie long-term care. To afford the surgery needed to keep her from having puppies. To afford the vaccinations she’ll need once she is well enough to get them.
Camie’s new Mommy (me!) started Camie her own Facebook page where anyone can come to visit…. Precious Camo. The Facebook link is:
https://facebook.com/camocameobates
Here, you can follow Camie’s journey from dying… to each day on her journey back to wellness. She has a long ways to go… but, her Mommy will do her part, as her friends help her with Camie’s medical care.
Thank-you, Camie’s Angel (this is the title of the new book I’m writing at this very moment… it will be published before I finish my other books)…. Thank-you, everyone who followed behind her to help us with money we don’t have… for Camie’s medical care. Thank-you in advance for money you donate.
***************************************************************
You can donate to Camie’s medical care by sending money directly to her vet at:
Louisburg Veterinary Clinic
115 N. Church Street
Louisburg, NC 27549

****************************************************************
If you donate by calling, sending to Louisburg Veterinary Clinic… let everyone know if you’d like…. by posting on Camie’s (Precious Camo) Facebook page: https://facebook.com/camocameobates Thank-you all, it means the world to me.
Come, be her friend… watch her now… become only more beautiful as her hair comes back…. come, watch this little puppy become ‘herself’… like neither you, nor I… have ever seen, known. None of us knows ‘how she looks when she is healthy, well’! I’m excited! I will see just like you do!
