Why don't you just put up a couple of those little fans built to circulate air? You can get them at woodstove shops and probably Home Depot or Lowe's; I have two on upper parts of the doorways and they really move the heat around-for some reason I remember people referring to them as "muffin" fans....
Hey , that looks quite nice. I bet the wife loves that.
She got over it pretty quick, actually. She's a very reasonable person, once I lay down the law

Here's another use for toilet paper besides the obvious. When I have to clean my glass after a smoldering burn. It happens once in a while. I'll lay a layer of TP on the glass and spray it with the stove glass cleaner and let it sit for a bit. Keeps the TP wet with the cleaner allowing it to work .

And vice a versa
Unless you have terriers... then you have terriers, toilet paper, and tantrums
Good idea, I got to give that a try. The cleaner does run down the glass before softening the tar. I use Fireview. It works well. Now, just need my wife to run the stove on a warm day.

...and Manx cats. My half Manx/half Maine colon cat has on more than one occasion turned the toilet paper roll into a scratching post. I thought the resulting shredded tp roll with scraps all over the floor was funny ... My wife was not as amused.
No offense intended, but that sounds like a crappy combo.
At least it is a fitting breed for the toilet paper trick.

Yeah, actually he kind of ended up with a short end of the stick gene-wise . . . he's compact, short fur and has a rump (no tail or even a nub) like a Manx, but has the ruff and weight of a Maine coon . . . meaning he's not the biggest cat we have, but definitely the heaviest.
Add in the fact that he is also the most uncoordinated (not sure if it's the lack of tail combined with the heavy weight), cannot climb a tree to save his soul and he often gets cling-ons . . . and well . . . this is why my wife says he is my "special needs cat.".
Jake - you do realize that you typed: Maine COLON cat?
HehHeh . . . no I failed to notice that . . . this explains your comment. Stupid Auto Correct . . .
Although in hindsight . . . I did mention Harry S Truman's kling-on issues, right? So maybe Auto Correct knows more than I do.

I have my own toilet paper trick but, the wife said I had to stop doing it. She said it was scaring the children and making the dogs poop in the house.
My ex wife came to me one day and said she wanted breast implants. After a brief discussion where I knew I would be on the losing end I out right told her I couldn't afford to pay for that, after all they were going to cost in the range of $5000 each. I could see she was getting upset with me and I knew I would never win the argument so I told her to take a piece of toilet paper and run it up and down in between her breasts every night for six months and if her breasts didn't grow in size I would pay what ever she needed to get what she wanted. After thinking about it for a minute she asked how is rubbing toilet paper in between her breast was going to make them grow? I responded I'm not sure but it worked on your ass.
That is how she became my ex.
Sorry about the OT but when I read the tread title that joke was the first thing that popped in my head.

My whole house is the dog house.
Kinda hard to lay down the law to a wife when you don't have one, and you are a woman doing all this chit by yourself, pretty much.
You guys are just sooo busted

More power to you. My wife helped me unload, split, and stack nearly a cord of wood today. I want her to be able to do anything I can do. I don't want her to need me, I want her to be independent, self-reliant and want me anyway
