Critical Toilet Paper Poll

Onkel Neal · 03-18-20, 11:25 AM

Put down your AR-15 and do a quick inventory: how many rolls of TP do you have on hand currently?

If you are in the middle of an activity that requires the use of TP, complete this business then take your count.

I have 12 rolls all brand new still in the package they came in willing to trade for any old classic automobile or truck

Bilge_Rat · 03-18-20, 11:45 AM

I have over 20, bought on sale at Costco a few months back. Nothing to do with the crisis, it was just a good deal.

Sorry, I don't answer personal questions.

Over 20 rolls purchased a few months ago?

Good grief man didn't you use any in those few months?

u crank · 03-18-20, 12:09 PM

Ok you made me look. We have an unopened 30 pack of TP and an unopened 12 pack of paper towels from Costco. I guess I will sleep soundly tonight.

ikalugin · 03-18-20, 12:16 PM

Our local store still has toilet paper.

Skybird · 03-18-20, 12:17 PM

Quite some more. For bartering.

As decribed on another day, I run a warehousing regime since long, and what gets consumed, immediately gets replaced.

Its also often used over here like cotton balls - for any other purpose than its primary one.

after my midnight trip to Lucky's for the only three packs on the shelf as the stockperson(s) were just gearing up; I'm good for the month! However my boat captain's 103 year-old mom recalled using pages from the Sears catalogue growing up with a two-holer out-house in Wisconsin...and so I'm holding a stack of similar old phone books in reserve! I hauled paper from every papermill in the country in my trukkin' days: paper is paper; no need to get particular about style.

it's a Canadian thing, we like to "be prepared". You never know when a massive storm will dump 3 feet of snow on the ground….

I think we're ok here, but like someone else said, I'm not putting down my AR.... because TEXAS!

Relating to TP and ammo.... I think we may have enough.

Otherwise, I'm really happy to see that some of the big stores seem to be rationing. The greed and hoarding I've seen with my own eyes is shocking. I'm sure I'm not saying anything new so far.

That being said, in Neal's own hometown, I've also seen some of the best humanity has to offer.

Try to remember to check on your neighbors. Someday it will be our turn to need help.

Hey Todd, you are still an EMT, correct? Please stay safe out there and check in, mate.

In a week or so there will be TP on pallets everywhere, more than anyone can possibly use, so hang in there.

Yeah, they may say flushable but you are right, don't

I made Paramedic shortly after you and I met right after Hurricane Ike. (2008 I think it was?)

I've been medically retired since May of last year due to injuries after 17 years on the streets.

Recovering from another surgery now. Wish I could have made it to 20 years, but it wasn't in the cards. I really miss some things about being out there, but it is nice in some ways to sit out the latest crisis. Awesome Mrs. Lehmann though, is mostly glad I'm not out in the middle of it all anymore.

On occasion she asks me to go play in the freeway.

At any rate, I think we'll be okay.... if not, we'll die side by side fightin' ta save the ship!

Shipmate, I really hope you and yours fair well.

Yeah even if they don't clog the plumbing they will fill up my septic tank too fast. We normally use one ply.
