We are getting a short break from the cold. Yesterday, it hit 48F, and today is expected to get up into the 50s. We have sub-zero temps coming our way, so today I will have to brave the wild jungles of Walmart to stock up on supplies.

It's not that I get to, it's that I've got to. I haven't learned how to make toilet paper out of polished rocks yet, so I still need to go shopping. Ugh.

When COVID hit and toilet paper was scarce... I was in line at 5:30am waiting for Walmart to open, and I started talking to someone else in the queue. We were both there for toilet paper. I mentioned that neither of us would be in line if Sears hadn't gone out of business. Those giant catalogs they used to print were really useful.

Maybe you could try shells, like 'Demolition Man'.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Stock up on the toilet paper.  I try to keep about six to a dozen "double rolls" as spares. 

I think you would rather not go out in the much colder weather you said was coming your way.  Who would?!

I survived the chaos of that place.

Lots of shoppers doing the usual "storm shopping" to get supplies. So the shelves were empty in many places. Contractors blocked the aisles as they restocked. Then employees are pushing huge carts while they shopped for people who ordered delivery service. What a mess.

I have commented to the General Manager, Assistant Manager, and Front-End Manager that they need to do restocking at night when no customers are trying to shop. The reply is always the same: "No one wants to work."

Well, maybe if you didn't discriminate against certain "classes" of people and paid a decent wage, people would be eager to work there. Nope. It is cheaper to annoy customers who will shop there anyway.

I'm stocked up, so I should be good until the end of the year.

Hi All

Have you heard how people who live in India wipe their bums?

You could use a 'face flannel' that is wet and that will suffice in an emergency or an old trick, use news paper strips.

Even down here in Australia there was a run on toilet paper and the shelves in the major stores, Coles and Woolworths were empty for a long time.

Lucky, I always buy in bulk for items like that.

Happy Wiping!!!

Hugs
Sarah B

Toilet paper has as its favorite pastime role play.  Maybe roll play in this case, huh?

Toilet paper does not fry well but it can be browned on one side.

That was kinda nasty. ;D  :embarrassed:

While I may not hesitate to use brown, recycled paper napkins
I would not want to use brown toilet paper. 

Although toilet paper made with recycled paper is sold, I do not buy any although it probably is okay to use.

Okay, that enough of the toilet paper jokes, at least from me.
