Buy some wash rags and wash and reuse them. Problem solved.

I can't even post one photo on this site and you posted not only a photo but an insert of ANOTHER photo. You, Malsua, are my hero!

EDIT: I wonder why the photo did not show up when I quoted your post?

Now I see them (kinda blended in with the background). While I'm not gonna picks nits on the number of rolls or if it's TP and paper towels or how large the crowd size is in the closet, yes, I do see some. Doesn't quite look like "well over a hundred" but that could likely be a major selling point of the house. Considering what TP was selling for on eBay last spring (up to $5/roll) it could have been an investment for their grand-kids college. Maybe during their next open house we can ask for an audit. ;) This thread is really going down the sh1tter.

I've been in tech for all of my adult life 35+ years. I worked in the medical field in the 90s and I now work industrial. I also do video production and have been into digital cameras and amateur photography for the past 20 years. Oh and I grew up on a farm, built, repaired and raced cars up through college. Inserting one photo into another in Photoshop is something I do probably 3 times a day at least :). Doing a 4 camera shoot of my buddy's Dodge Hellcat in the Nevada desert is on my to-do list this next year. It will be a joy to spend weeks editing all that footage. I say all this only to cement the idea that my technology experience is hard won :)

I prefer paper towels, but I agree.

I would also say the same for any bathroom with a shower. You CAN survive without paper. I did a work trip to China in 2003, and only the hotels had western toilets. Everywhere else had the hose, the bucket, the rag and the squat toilet hole.

I still don't quite understand it even though I've been to a number of third world countries since then.

The only thing that comes to mind is that you take the hose with the spray nozzle, whilst squatting and fire it backwards through the, uhm, problem spot. This would splatter the back wall of the stall with debris(watch out for backsplash). When finished you hose down the wall, and dry with the towel. The bucket is there for short people to stand on. ;)

Thank you for making me feel not so tech challenged. :)

Just saw empty store shelves on NBC's The Today Show. I guess the cat is out of the bag now.

NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX are all good at creating bad news and panic.

I have a large kitchen drawer filled with old towels that I open and use EVERY DAY. I use them to wipe off, mop up, cover couches from cat hair..(The cats always choose to sit on a chair or couch without the old towel) I use them for ALL kinds of things. I will dampen them and wipe around the floor between floor washings. They are the old fashioned way to save trees and energy. P.S. Yes the globe is warming....I just don't think we have any answers to throw money at yet.

Unfortunately they are only reporting FACTS.

Installed a bidet and love it. Check out the info on the web. Simple to install.

i was curious how that works? does it use 'clean' water, or the non-potable kind we water lawns with?

They tie in directly to the toilet supply water which is the same as the rest of the water in your house.

:ho:

Masala said they are 6 packs of 6 paper towels. Look closer , they are 6 packs of 8 jumbo towels , that are visible. I'm sure that anyone that hoards that many also is hoarding equal toilet paper somewhere.

By choice choosing to ignore informative, calming, reassuring information!!!

Their so called reporting is nothing more than special interest messaging.

In my humble opinion.
