Use one square per wipe according to the expert Sheryl Crow.
If you absolutely can’t live without something for more than a week, stockpile a 1-6 month’s supply.
If you have no more than a 2 week’s supply of TP - which never spoils, then you are an idiot. An idiot that might well be walking around with his cheeks stuck together.
Unless you have a bidet; pretty uncommon in the US.
In Burkina Faso , back when my sister was a Peace Corp volunteer in the 70s, that was pretty much what those who had no tp did. They used their left hand and then washed if there was water around. The left had, therefore, had a stigma and one would not hold hands/shake hands etc with the left hand.
They also blew their nose without Kleenex.
Ah, the joys of a sustainable lifestyle...
“That’s why we Americans put a shower right next to the toilet.”
True that! Bidets are ok but only if they have hot water. Ice cold water on your behind is no picnic.
And the Sears-Roebuck catalog. Personally, I'm installing a bidet. They "toto-lly" eliminate the need for TP.
It’s almost spring and the ferns will be out soon. Have used them while out hunting for 50 years.
My dad told a story about my uncle reaching up and grabbing a leaf off of a stinging nettle. Dad thought it was quite funny, uncle Pete not so much.
...I agree.....
Leaves of three, let it be.
And we don’t even have Sears, Roebuck and Montgomery Wards catalogs to use as emergency TP!
Yep. The hoarders have been watching too many SHTF shows on TV. Paper companies won’t stop making toilet paper. My guess is that stocking enough for a month should be fine, because warm weather is coming. I’m betting for quite a few reasons that warm weather will knock out the virus for a season for those of us in the United States.
I don’t know why some of the tropical places tend to see more illnesses than our climate during the warm months. But even in subtropical places, cold and flu illnesses tend to be much more rare during warmer seasons.
On Antiques Roadshow, I think it was, somebody brought in a “Gravy Boat” that had been in their family for some years. They said they used it for formal Thanksgiving meals &c.
As it turns out ... the appraiser took a look at it closely and informed them that it wasn’t ... ah, originally used for “Gravy”, per se. It was pretty funny.
Just surf to Amazon and swipe up with your phone.
Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, is nasty stuff. Really really nasty. But -
There is a plant in Australia (naturally, you knew this was coming) called Gimpy Gimpy, whose leaves when touched has been described as a combination of electric shock and burning acid. It’s so bad suicides have been reported more than once because of it, when someone mistakenly uses it as TP.
Not sure of the need for posting this, as I’d be really surprised if any FReepers get caught short of toilet paper, given all the warnings they’ve been given here.
Ping.
Can’t wait till the green maple leaves come back.
Cedar brush is kind of rough.
[I got enough TP to last until the corn crop comes in.]
“Use your hand to aid in the cleansing.
—Wash your hands thoroughly and dry up.”
Then touch your lips and shake hands with someone,
