Toilet Paper

Who the heck moderates this forum.  Place needs a cleanup!

If you go native in a Muslim majority nation, you probably won't even get toilet paper or a bidet.  You will get only a nozzle-operated water hose.  That was my experience in a medical clinic in Indonesia.

I worked and lived in the Middle East for many years and know this to be true.  And the people who inhabit such places make a hell of a mess when they try to use our western facilities.

Who cares?

But in houses with cats who like to play with it, it must go under, else you end up with a pile of paper on the floor.

I said the same thing later in the thread without noticing that you had already said it.  (It's actually kind of fun to watch a cat spooling out the TP onto the floor much like a boxer slapping a punching bag in a fast rhythm.)

See that's your problem, right there.  You've got cats IN YOUR HOUSE!  Everyone knows that cats are only good for target practice....can't do that in the house!   Jeez!  Silly people!

Wait a minute!  I don't have cats.  (I have no use for pets that are not supremely, demonstrably grateful for room and board.)  But I have watched them play with the toilet paper rolls at other people's houses.

I was at the range with my husband one day and I guess we each thought the other one had packed the targets in our range bag.  So I leave hubby on the range and go out to the store area and am looking at the targets they have.  One of the salesmen walks up to me and asks if he can help me find something.  I don't know what put this in my head, but with a straight face I say "I see you've got targets for ground hogs and turkeys, but I don't see any kittens.  Do you have any of those?"  The look on his face...

Lol!  My fault!  Shouldn't have leapt to that conclusion!

I'm not sure he thought it was as funny as I did, but I'm okay with that. :)

The look on their faces seems to always be so nonchalant.  ^-^

I vote for @RoosGirl.  Considering her awful targeting of kitties, we can expect her not to be a very moderate moderator.  (And she doesn't much like Trump.)

I defense of cats at least they bury their crap. Unlike most people on the planet that can't even wipe their own ass.

Omigosh, Fred, you are sticking up for cats but maligning Muslims.  You are an enigma.

I bet you honestly believe that too! Here's some free advice, in a neighborhood where there a free roaming cats, always look in the grass before you step! Aside from being vindictive cats are really lazy too.

Unburied cat poop is a territorial marker. I admit feral cats, or feral anything, is a problem.

My first cat was a sweetheart, but she never could actually bury her waste.  She could spend what seemed like hours in the litterbox scratching around, get out and the waste was STILL on top. 

My present cat, on the other hand, buries his waste as if it were gold.  Have to dig down deep to find it.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

A litter box for humans might be an interesting idea.

Not really. It is called the Middle East.

And you have no selection for corncobs... Jussayin.

Nor pages from the Sears or MonkeyWard catelogs. Or is that just for outhouse use?

As with corncobs, just for outhouses. it seems... a failure attributable to the inferiority of modern plumbing. One thing you won't find in an outhouse is a plunger.

[Applewood]

Regarding the poll:  I can't vote for any of the three choices.  I don't use a bidet and when I install a roll of toilet paper -- whichever way it ends up facing is where it stays.  I can't be bothered worrying about whether it's over or under.  I have more important things to do -- like taking my afternoon nap.

I believe the corncob thing is a myth started by some 18th Century comedian.  I have known a lot of old timers with generations of outhouses, and not one of them has ever said anything about the use of corncobs.  (Sears and Monkey Ward's cataologues, yes [I have used them personally], but corncobs, no.  Anyone who has handled a corncob would say that the idea of using it in lieu of paper is crazy.  Might as well propose sandpaper.)

I wouldn't know... though I have used magazines in the outhouse if the TP is gone.

I can tell you that out in the woods, counter to what one might assume, soft fuzzy leaves are usually a bad idea. stinging nettle as an example. Very, very bad idea.

and cats. No cats... Maybe a rabbit...

I have used sycamore leaves with wonderful results.  BTW, you ought to check out the toilet tissue tablets that you can get on Amazon.  I just got some.  They are nifty wipes for backpackers. 

Fourteen sturdy wipes will fit into one of those little tubes that hikers often use for keeping a small emergency supply of matches dry.  The bottom line, as they say, is that fourteen wipes occupy practically no space at all.

Thanks, but I don't carry buttwipe... Well, I DO, but not much, so I don't use it much... wet weather and emergencies...

 I just use grass or cedar bark or some such... if you know how to make a birds nest for lighting a fire, you don't need TP. Just miff the stuff till it's soft and downy, even more than you would for a fire,  and away you go... Then I ain't got to worry about counting squares to make sure I have enough to last.

Oh hell. I thought those were printed on at first (which would be fun).

So did I but then, how could they print it on the sides? That'd be some damn advanced TP design.

For what its worth, I'm a bread bag twist & flipper.

Strangely, two of the earlier arguments with my spouse focused on:

(1) Position of toilet seat
(2) Toilet Paper sheet placement (over under discussed here)

0 for two with those wars.
