A lady in my neighborhood went to 4 stores today to find TP.  She says because she needed it.  Anyway while she was carrying in her groceries, someone walked up her driveway and stole the TP right out of her trunk!

 

I will keep my garage door closed from now on.

Very hard to find toilet paper in Westchester County, NY.  I just have 2 rolls left.  I was wondering.  Do you think in an emergency the Beekman 1802 Wipes would work?  I have 3 packs of them in the honey apricot scent.

You could use tissues, napkins and/or paper towels.

If you run out of toilet paper, be careful not to flush things like paper towel or wipes because they can clog your plumbing and cause problems for treatment plants and or septic tanks.

People  have been calling 911 when no toilet paper!!Smiley Surprised

 

history offers many other options for you in your time of need if you cannot find a roll of your favorite soft, ultra plush two-ply citrus scented tissue. Mayans used corn cobs. Colonial Americans also used the core of the cob. Farmers not only used corn cobs, but used pages from the Farmers Almanac. Many Americans took advantage of the numerous pages torn from free catalogs such as Sears and Roebuck.

The Sears Christmas catalog, four times thicker than the normal catalog, could get a family of three wiped clean from December through Valentine’s Day; or Saint Patrick’s Day if they were frugal.”

“Then, of course, there are always alternatives to toilet paper. Grocery receipts, newspaper, cloth rags, lace, cotton balls, and that empty toilet paper roll sitting on the holder right now. Plus, there are a variety of leaves you can safely use.

Mother Earth News magazine will even tell you how to make your own wipes using fifteen different leaves. When all else fails, you have magazine pages. Start saving those catalogs you get in the mail that you usually toss into the recycle bin.

Be resourceful. Be patient. There is a TP shortage. This too shall pass. Just don’t call 9-1-1. We cannot bring you toilet paper.”

Police remind that they can not bring you toilet paper.

Beekman wipes are biodegradable.

I would never put paper towels down my drains, that's called a $600.00 sewer plug up. This virus causes high temp, not runny bowels. Stop hoarding America.
