Toilet paper

[defranks]

Years ago I was a young Jarhead and had the opportunity to visit the Philippines. TP was unheard of there (available on-base, of course.) The bathrooms had a water tap and soap next to the toilet. That was a bit of a culture shock, but if you think about it, it's cleaner than using TP. Later on I was in Japan and liked the bidet-style toilet seats well enough that I bought them for my house. But no thanks on splashing water up from the bowl!! Yikes.

If TP becomes unavailable switch to moss.

When I went to Peru, I was surprised to learn that they had signs on every toilet to put the paper in a garbage can and NOT to flush it down the toilet.

When I was in Namibia, I learned that the locals like to use rocks to wipe with, or is it scrape with? Anyway, their was a real problem with rocks plugging up toilets there to the point that in a lot of places they got rid of the toilet and sealed up the drain pipe.

My wife is a teacher and she gets paid once a month, so she does all her shopping for the month right after payday. She bought a very large thing of TP from Sams online, along with tons of other things that we get every month, and I'm sure we have enough TP to last us into the summer. I use very little compared to her, but it's still something that I do not want to do without. Couple days later our UPS and FedEx driver will deliver half a dozen to a dozen large boxes to our house.

First it was a shortage of ammo, now toilet paper. If we keep printing up $$ soon we can use it for toilet paper.

If you want to wipe your butt with a diry dollar bill go ahead .

I get toilet paper delivered to the end of my driveway daily for 50 cents per week....

(I worked at a newspaper for 30 years and that's the retiree rate)

Way back grandfather lived in rural area.
Neighbor was of the early style pioneer mode.
Like his idea of refrigeration was to lower perishables on a cord into the surface well.

When we rec'd new phone books we'd give them to the neighbor for use in his outhouse.
The white paged (big city) would last him months.

The big city FB was more appreciated than a bottle of wine as a gift would have been.

Hanging stuff in the well Cistercian’s casing was a pretty common occurrence. Our Farm well was drilled but had a ten foot deep concrete casing just for keeping things cool.
