Here in my neck of the woods right outside Augusta, GA every store is wiped out for toilet paper and most of the food shelves are empty or severely depleted as well. A work buddy of mine has been out of toilet paper at his house (with two adults and four kids) for a few days now. They are using baby wipes and making due while until they can find some. It's only going to get worse as people panic with their hoarder mentality. | |||

4 stores tonight. I needed groceries. No TP or PT at Costco/Target/TomThumb/Whole Foods. I hate fucking whole paycheck. No TP or PT anywhere around here. I'm gonna get the fucking virus going to a bunch of stores to find PT. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
As a word of caution...I have been hoarding AR15 magazines...BUT they make terrible toilet paper...the PMags are somewhat less painful to use than the GI aluminum magazines with the sharper edges...the jury is still out on the Lancers  ...Glock magazines are better...they are sorta like corncobs without the soaking in water thing!******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

Has nobody heard of a wash cloth and soap to clean their butts??? Sure, it's a bit of hassle to clean the wash cloths but it can be done. We did that a few years ago when my ill dad was bed ridden and had to be kept in diapers before he passed away. People are too damn spoiled and lazy these days and it's damn ridiculous to be hoarding toilet paper at all! | |||

How a family of 6 doesn't have a case of TP in the house at all times, I just don't understand. | |||

I don’t plan to switch because I don’t need to, but I remember what my parents did in the days before disposable baby diapers, and there’s evidently still a whole nondisposable diaper movement out there. A pile of cheap washcloths and a bucket to put them in until they’re washed would save many people much angst.

You don't understand? How can people have a case of it when it doesn't exist anywhere? People have been hoarding for weeks now. A family of 6 is going to go through a case rather quickly. You want an idea of this? Go to amazon and punch in Charmin and tell us all what you get? It does not exist anywhere around my parts, at all. The stores are finally putting limits on it as assholes have been showing up at the crack of dawn, and filling an entire shopping basket with nothing but toilet paper. Hard for anyone else to buy when people are being hoarding fucks. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Earlier this year my first round of chemo and radiation made me very sore. Down there. For awhile I used something my wife bought me, basically a water bottle with a fancy nozzle for use in cleansing. If you fill it with warm water it is comfortable and effective. Lack of TP is the easiest issue to solve in this whole ordeal. | |||

As I was already in town I stopped at Kroger this morning and followed a couple hobbling in who were probably in their 60's and retired, each taking their own shopping cart, then went straight to the toilet paper isle where there was an employee stocking the shelves from a pallet of cases of toilet paper. People were standing taking them off almost as fast as he put them up. Said couple were studying the cases still unopened and waited. After getting milk and fresh vegetables (of which there was plenty of) I saw the couple pushing their two carts, each cart had two super bundles of 12 rolls, that's 48 fricking rolls of toilet paper! People like this make me sick. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Oh I understand, it's just a lack of for-sight, resiliency, and planning. They live week to week. I have a family of 5 and about 5 years ago I got sick and tired of the "we are out of XYZ" and I put the following on auto monthly orders from Amazon. Stuff that never really goes bad and you will always need --> TP / Paper Towels / Trash Bags / Laundry Detergent / Soap of all variety / Dog Food & treats / etc. I let it stock up over time and then figured out our rate of consumption and tweaked the delivery months (some every / some every other / etc). It builds up over time, then I skip a month, etc. My parents were in town for January, so the TP stock depleted, so I ordered more in early Feb. Just last week I received 2 more TP orders from Amazon as I knew my March order would not be fulfilled with everyone freaking out so I ordered early - I know we are good for 1-2 months, even after giving a rack to my son when he went back to school which should last him a month or more. I'm not hoarding, I'm prepared - I've passed by TP in the local stores; in fact I haven't bought TP or Paper Towels locally in 5 years. | |||

Yes. Get several 5-gallon plastic buckets with lids. Water, bleach. From left to right. First bucket, plain water (rinse, and dump down the toilet as required) Second bucket, bleach/water, soak. Third bleach/water, soak. Fourth bleach/water, soak. To the wash. When the first bucket is no longer useful to remove greatest amount of soil, dispose of in the toilet. When the second bucket is no longer useful to remove the soil, dispose of in the toilet, move third and fourth buckets to the left. Refill the empty (second) bucket with clean bleach/water, and move to the right (fourth) place. Continual "replenish" and least amount of bleach is used over time.

I just got back from hitting four stores and barely have six little bags. Most of it was curiosity, and just to see how the panic is transpiring. Who knew when I went through Manning SC last Friday I should have bought two packages. I guess I will be eating more pork chops and start eating red meat again. Now that we are in a new house and with a smaller refrigerator/freezer so we do not have the capacity like we used to. Plus right we really don't have the money to buy an extra freezer. On the other hand every time we had stocked up before (dating way way way back in 2003) something bad happens like a tropical storm, hurricane etc.. that knocked out the power for 13 days. Since the other half just bought a house in a new neighborhood, she has been visiting neighborhood.com or something to get a feel for the area. The other half posted if anyone needed help post a message and we would help. A young lady responded that she has a sick child and her husband is deployed and she cannot leave the house. SO, I have been out looking for supplies in case they run out of something. This whole thing is crazy. With the food shortage and everything closing there is no way I am relocating to Bismarck in the next week and a half. | |||

On the bleach issue, if you can find a swimming pool supply store open, just buy some pool chlorine. Grains or small tabs. Same substance, just cheaper. No bleach or chlorine is good for human consumption, it'll kill you real dead. But for sanitizing, the pool stuff will work just as well. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||
