I talked to my 78 year old mother this morning

She's in a retirement apartment complex a few cities away. I was checking up that she'd been stocking up on some things, etc.

We laughed about people hoarding toilet paper, and she said, "You know we make toilet paper here in Wisconsin."

I'm not sure that makes any difference or not. That won't get it to my grocery store, should supply chains break down.

Buuut, the factory isn't that far -- a few hundred miles or so. Could get there and back in a long day.

There are a few days during the year when toilet paper just does not feel it has cleaned thoroughly after a messy poop.
On those days I jump in the tub, use the long hose shower head, and it feels as good as taking a shower.
So yeah, I am not going to hoard TP.
