Its been so long since i had company and talked to anyone, it now seems it will be hard to do so again, without getting into practice. You fall into new patterns- become lax in some and fiercely accurate in others. Take short cuts you never used to take before. Watch the number of tissues, paper towel and toilet paper you use. Who would have ever thought?
Speaking of toilet paper, I researched “Substitutes for Toilet paper” the other day. I wasn’t awfully surprised at what I found. Dry corn shucks, dry corn cobs, vegetation.
When I was a child in the early 1940s, it was not uncommon to visit somewhere (especially country churches) there were out-houses- corn shucks were handy. Some even used last year’s Sears, Roebuck and Company catalogue. Softness may have been an issue in most cases, but over the years I never saw any ill effects of any of those.
But surprise, surprise! No more Sears, Roebuck catalogues. Few have access to corn cobs or corn shucks. Pluse, if one did, it would play havoc with your sewer system.
I know all paper products are now in short supply. I can’t figure how everybody else knew about it before I did. There was nothing on the shelves more than a month ago. And the situation doesn’t seem be getting any better.
Company? Don’t bring Loo . . .
