Toilet paper

[Molalla1]

During the depression my Dad used to burn the used cobs in the wood stove when the pile got to big..

Didn't toss them in the privy after Ernie? . . . boy they were poor . . .

I guess thats too much for personal use.
Or he could play the medicinal use card.

Nope didn't toss them, they lived in Minnesota out in the woods, they only went into town 2x a year.
They bought thread, salt, molasses, nails, kerosene and 22 bullets. He said they never went hungry, but there was a lot of work to do on the farm
This was when he was younger, but he worked hard all his life and he died pretty wealthy by today's standards.

My wife came home with this.
It's all there was.
It appears to be about 36 grit.
I kinda like it.
But it would be nice to finish with a finer grit.

LOL, 200 followed by 100?
Like in woodwork finishing?

Glad to hear it. Wifey went to wal-mart supermarket today and got about everything she wanted. Of course not TP, but she did come home with 1 box of Kleenex tissues. Limit 1 box per person. Guess if we run out of TB we could use that. . But we have enough TP to last for a while so not worried. Surely the hoarders will get tired of hoarding pretty soon.

Facial Tissue can be problematic in sewers because it is slower breaking down

Yeah, I thought of that...We are in no danger of running out of the real thing.

I've used a lagoon for 42 years.

I have no use for cheap TP. It will float in the lagoon for days before it decomposes. Dang sure don't want to see Kleenex and paper towels floating around.

Imagine an urban sewer system and the numbers involved.....

Is downstairs just the bathroom or do we not believe in doors?

Looks almost like a pocket door in the end of the wall next to the sink to me.

The only thing that I don't keep stocked ahead on is bread... I do miss having a decent slice of toast in the morning. I've been in the grocery store a couple of times in the last week, early in the morning; what got me both times was the old retired people trying to find what they needed. Call me a sentimental old but if I was a hoarder, seeing them would be enough to make me repent and start giving out toilet paper at the supermarket entrance.
