No one mentioned a bidet? And we pride ourselves here of not being scared of the French (threads)

You know what I find odd about this hysteria in the USA going on right now? I remember the Cuban missile crises, I remember when Khrushchev said he was going to bury the US, I remember those days when the threat of nuclear war was at the highest level ever...yet people didn't go into hysterics and run to the store to clean off the shelves. I don't about you but I would think the threat of nuclear war would be just a tiny bit scarier than this stupid virus, and yet here are, us Americans, showing the world what a bunch of scaredy cats we really are. I bet China and Russia and other such places that don't like us all that much are laughing their collective arses off at us...I know I would be if I were one of them, tough Americans...riiiiight.

. Its pure panic and heard mentality ruling people right now.There are plenty of leaves and old news papers around
, what's the big problem
. A guy in my platoon went up to the DI to tell him only one roll of TP was in the head, on our first night, in house. He was told to use one piece, hang it up and let it dry, then shake the flakes out.

Never mind the TP, how many of you are using this opportunity to stocking up on lugged steel now that the Craigslist flippers are flipping out?

My brother in law works near Atlanta with Toto, big mfg of bidet seats - He's been suggesting I get one of their setups for years. Tempting - when I go to his house it's always amusing to push a button after which the seat lowers itself while it plays a little tune and heats up. Gotta love the Japanese... Still, I have yet to avail myself of it's cleaning functions...

If a restriction never comes to pass (let's hope it doesn't get that bad), then I'll hold onto them until September and sell them to returning undergrads.

If you've saved those long multi-language Shimano tech sheets...
...then you need only tear them into 4.5" strips. Best use of those sheets that I can envision.

Sears Catalogs worked out well for my parents when their families were running away from the Japanese during WW2......

It’s funny though, she was a great baker, but not so much of a cook. 🤔 Good thing I had older sisters, who were passable cooks. 🙄😉
