I guess I'll have to see if I can get toilet paper. The paper towels I have are the cheap thin ones. I'll tear into quarters, until I go to my supermarket tomorrow. Early when they open. Maybe I'll get lucky?

Sports Organizations are having a growing disagreement, with the International Olympics Committee, insistence of still having the Summer Olympics in Japan. This Coronavirus has cost lives and the economy of many countries. Especially the USA. The money lost from the Olympics will be devastating.

anyone traveling to Japan for the olympics before this crisis is resolved is very foolish or very greedy..
Japan would be foolish to allow an influx of fans from all over the world..
Probably will be/should be called off..If it hasn't already..especially bad for the athletes who
have been training so hard....No winners in this deal!!!
Maybe let Olympics go on with No fans permitted...quarantine all athletes/ officials/media,etc afterwards?? just a thought..

dont flush em...unless you want a visit from plumber!!!!
We had to call a plumber several years ago. The system was blocked and the basement floor was flooded. The plumber quickly fixed it. Our daughter had been flushing the sanitary hand wipes on a regular basis. They were the cause.

We had a blockage at the point where the pipe from our house connected to the main sewer pipe.

I plan to tear the paper towels sheets in half. I did a test flush on one torn sheet, and the flushing was complete. No, I don't want to call the plumber. Especially, what they charge nowadays.
DO NOT flush paper towels down the toilet!!!
They WILL clog your main drain to the septic tank or street and backed up sewage is a mess.
Go old school.
Method one.
Keep a paper sack (preferred) or plastic garbage can liner next to the toilet and toss used paper towels in there.
IF it starts to smell, toss a dryer sheet in it.
(You might be surprised at how little it smells.)
Think of them as adult diaper hampers.
Dispose of plastic bags in household trash when full.
Paper bags decompose, so can be used in compost.
They can also be burned, if desired.
Method two.
Dedicate a washcloth for each user, wet before use, wash in sink with anti-bacterial soap, afterwards, and dry for next use.
Method three.
Eat less, drink more.
You, most likely, are not moving as much as usual, so cutting back on the calories not only keeps you from gaining weight, it reduces body waste.
Good luck!
