Share my triumph.

Question

Finally took delivery of some toilet rolls.

Congratulations! Was it a boy or a girl?

Now comes the hard part. Now you have to divide your toilet paper amongst all of the people in your household. Does the female portion of your household get more or less toilet paper? Do the children get the most? What about the cat? They love to unroll the tp. Head of the household, how much should he be allotted? It's all one big headache in my opinion. It's like winning the lottery. Everybody wants a piece of your prize.

Joke: My house got tp'd last night. It's now appraised at 678 thousand dollars.

If you want to know how long it will last, here’s a TP calculator: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/21/us/toilet-paper-calculator-coronavirus-trnd/index.html

The Mennonite grocery store down the street has TP and doesn’t seem to run out. They do limit purchase to 1 package each trip.

---

Haha that was so funny Betty.   I had a good laugh.  I've forbidden the cat to use TP,  LOL.

Answer 1

But will you share your TP?

Comments

Would you borrow it?  Can you see it on ebay or Am*zon prices - 'used' 

---

I have TP.

Am willing to exchange for bread, half-and-half, and saltines.

---

Melanie,

What's your exchange rate?

---

I have TP and there's nothing I'd trade it for.

---

Things you can substitute for toilet paper:

Leaves

Corn Husks

Paper towels

Facial tissue

Wash cloths

Lined paper

Moss

Baby wipes

Restaurant napkins

Grass

---

Just go to Mcd's and get you a bunch o' napkins.

---

Just don't flush!

---

Mcd's all closed in the UK besides have you seen those horendous pics of blocked sewage pipes?  

Glad you got some C. We had a spare pack of 12 and were contemplating  sending it to our  son in Abingdon. Two adults, two under 10s and running out but they've also 'scored'.

---

Congrats C. Now anyone know where we can get flour? Everyone here thinks they’re the new Mary Berry 

---

Try one of the wholesalers who served the restaurants and hotels. They were desperate for customers a couple of weeks ago.

---

I have noticed that too, Lizzie, very surprised that is hard to find, maybe someone has discovered how to make TP from flour xxx

---

Flour around here is scarce as well. I'm not sure what people are doing with it. I hope they're not making toilet paper. :)

---

In my childhood days out in the Aussie country on the farm, where the loo was a tin can in a small shed, a good distance away from the back door, we cut up newspaper into squares and used that.  Then we joked that while we were seated, we read the newspaper but we got "Printer's Poisoning" from it afterwards.   I kid you not!  hahaha

---

Linda, that sounds very similar to what happened when we visited my grandparents in Ireland, they had no indoor plumbing, and it was great because it was so different to what we were used to xxx

Actual conversation with mum today:

Lizzie: mum you said you needed flour? We’ve just had a delivery of plain do you want me to buy a few bags for you, I can leave on the step.

Mum: No darling, I need self raising.

Lizzie: Why?

Mum: Because I need to bake bread.

Lizzie: Why mum, you can buy bread?

Mum: To pass the time, and I do sometimes bake, and I always have it in. If you get some can you get me 3 bags?

Lizzie: Mum, this is why we ran out of loo roll and why no one can now buy Flour. If we get some I’m limiting to 1 per customer including you.

Mum sighs: what the point in having key worker children?

 I kid you not, she’s actually a bit peeved with me lol.

Answer 2

If you liked Beavis and Buthead and wish to see something funny there is a skit online about Beavis needing TP.  (The skit is not for everyone, just those who enjoy their humor.)

Answer 3

I don't understand what the fuss is about.  Just do as they say, use your sleeve.

Comments

Or, preferably, someone else’s !

Answer 4

I just spoke to a family member today, and was upset to find that she is buying toilet paper one roll at a time for $1.99.  It isn't the price that bothers me as much as her need to go out to a store frequently.

If anyone who reads this is hoarding TP (and the odds seem to suggest it), at least please share with your family and neighbors.

Answer 5

Water is included in rent in my building so I don't have to pay

extra water bill. I "go" then just step into the shower and hose

my ..... clean

Answer 6

I cannot understand why this is a global problem. Who sends these hordes to buy the TP? Luckily, at least we have a flour mill nearby.
