    I remember using newspaper in Ukraine in the early 90’s. Only lived there for a year or two.

    Good lord who would have time to pulp and press and dry your own TP? Sounds like an arts and crafts project.

    I agree. However, it is a bodily function that can’t completely be ignored. Not so sure I’d put the resources into it like this post states but there will be something as opposed to nothing at all. Running around with a crappy butt will make you uncomfortable at the least, people can smell you out at worst.

    And still others have taken care of all those loose ends. Because there is just some things that have more importance in life. Used Sage Brush in the past just not something to return to at 60 years old.
