Toilet Paper Is the 'Icon' of Panic Buying

I fear the internet way more than the virus. The toilet paper run is an example of shear fear. Some idiot said there was a run on toilet paper on the net, others believed him. Then a real run on the stuff ensued. Now, if you step back, and ask yourself, why would there be a shortage of TP? What would cause it- did we run out of trees? I fear the internet will foster blame for the virus on certain groups. Then they would be at risk. And you can't say internet induced fear cannot get out of hand. People said Nazi Germany could never happen.
 

I just bought a 12 pack of Scott a few weeks ago. Good thing I live alone, but I do take a diuretic. If I run out and can't get more, I'll have to resort to the bidet method of cleansing (i.e. step in the shower and aim the shower head extension where it's needed then pat dry).

lots of people doing that with kitchen paper... but be careful, because if you buy the best quality ( thickest) kitchen paper , it will eventually block the drains if you flush it down the loo

Thats a no-no for everyone @hollydolly....no flushing wipes, paper towels, even face tissues down the loo.....they dont break down like TP does....just reminding ppl of this like someone mentioned in another topic.....will eventually make the plumbers rich too, lol....

Becky, I just read it and it is called a severe acute respiratory syndrome. The only reference i found to intestinal disease is that some patients have gastrointestinal symptoms as diarrhea.

don't I know it ?... the drain opening (manhole) for the sewer for the whole road is in my rear garden.....:(

We had to have plumbers come out last year because it was completely blocked by people flushing wipes of all types.. Baby wipes, disinfectant wipes.. every type of wipe.. . It was a disgusting sewerage overflow, I've never seen anything like it in my life... ... ..I was mad as hell, because I've never thrown a wet wipe down my toilets, and yet we had to have this happen in our garden because of other people's thoughtlessness... :mad:
 
An old hermit who lived near my buddy's shore used his shirt tail. Every week he'd launder it using one of those old-fashioned wash machines with rollers (still pretty common in the 1950s).
