How to deal with Toilet Paper shortage

Posted on 03/20/2020 7:09:10 PM PDT by entropy12

1. Number every square on a roll. Hang a log book near the roll. Every person using paper from roll must record usage by numbers on roll. Identify the biggest users. Quarantine them for a day for each offense.

2. Visitors must bring their own. Remove yours before they go in. Organize a BYOTP party (bring your own toilet paper party)

3. Study your dogs' behaviour. They get by without toilet paper quite well.

4. Visit rest rooms in local shopping malls, fast food places. Check TP is available before you sit down. Steal as much as you can. Bad luck when it runs out, this is WAR!

5. Buy baby bum wipes. Clear the shelves!

6. Rest assured that if you are holed up, when your 4 weeks' worth of food runs out, your use of TP will decrease markedly. Most of your six months' worth of TP will go unused.

Bonus: Free fertilizer for your lawn!

There's a reason why grazing lands are never evenly shorn. Even they know to avoid the "unprocessed" spots.

I thought of those persons buying in bulk last week in order to try to make a killing on eBay this week, but that doesn’t make much sense. WHERE’S ALL THE TP??????

After the initial spree of bulk buying for resale, Amazon and eBay have stopped allowing people to sell it on their sites. So cases of TP are sitting in people's garages. Try asking on Nextdoor or Facebook if anyone in your vicinity is selling, and for how much.

Late? The county was cut up in 1885. No local government before 1885, very few people. (the Republic of Texas began in 1836, until 1846) We came in 1889. One of my ancestors was born in Texas during the Republic.

Governor Perry’s family beat us here by about 4 years.

People living in this area did not vote to succeed from the US during the civil war. There were no elections here. Most people are unaware that large parts of Texas were like that.

When the railroad came, I think about 1907 local population jumped a lot.

Population tapered after WWII. Entire county is under 6,000 people now.

It is called freakout by the public. I was at Walmart on Thursday, and saw people without carts, carrying arms load of TP walking towards checkout. I asked one of them is the TP shelf stocked, and she said yes but hurry. I scampered as fast as possible with my cart loaded with groceries to the TP shelf and it was completely empty.

Saw a post the other day from a wastewater guy. As far as he’s concerned, there is no such thing as a “flushable” wipe, they all just exist to clog pumps. You DO pay for that in the rates, it isn’t “free”.

It's not 'just' that people will pay more. It's that we might not have all parts to fix these problems - many industries were outsourced to China to save money... remember that? Flush enough wipes and backed up sewer systems might stay backed up.

ALWAYS do that, anyhow.

“..pump action sprayers. Just don’t spray Roundup or Spectracide up your butt..”

I actually bought two of these for exactly this purpose. Thanks for the reminder— gotta go dig them outta the pantry.
When using as a bidet, it’s a good idea to use a clean cloth to touch the pump & trigger.

No, I guess it wasn't you. In fact, it was one of my brothers; and his better half. 😜
