I didn't think I'd be this upset

I still would put soiled magazine or catalogue pages—if it comes to that—in throwaway trash. Unfortunately, I avoided all physics and chem classes that I could manage, but with just the basic required science courses, I’m thinking that septic tanks have a very fragile ecosystem that need us to be careful about what we’re . . . uh . . . depositing into them 😬, or they rebel, forcing a big plumbing bill. 🤑
 
With the toilet paper idea, consider this: any paper can be made to suffice. As someone else here said: “don’t flush”. Makes you rethink throwing out that phone book some places still give out huh? Napkins, paper towels, newsprint, it all works. (Fitting somehow considering the content in certain papers.) As I was taught by my dad long ago, “You just have to crumple and un-crumple more with some to make it usable”. And, there is always leaves, grass, and water.
Skip the paper hoarding, and just buy a bit more food. Eating is more important first anyway.
Went to a store yesterday here, no sliced bread. “Limit of two per variety” until the supply ran out. Nobody seemed to buy the tortillas they had plenty of, bought those instead. (More calories than bread anyway)
Dominus vobiscum
 
On the subject of toilet paper, just get each person in the house a pack of washcloths. White is good, if you can bleach them when you wash them. Good luck finding bleach here, though. Anyway, use the cloths, then store them in a bucket w a lid of some sort. Wash daily, with bleach if you have it. Do NOT flush paper down a septic system! Very bad idea. You won’t have a septic system, or money to buy food with, if you do. 🙂
 
A local reporter told me that’s what she did as a university student. “If I had to choose between seeing a movie and buying toilet paper, the movie won. I had my bucket of bleach water by the toilet.” (Not unlike how we dealt with cloth diapers back in the day.)
 
Odd isn’t it ? We do this thing at least weekly and for some it becomes like going through the motions and then one day we wake up and we’re told ok, you can’t do that for now and you’re left feeling … Empty inside. It’s been about a month since I’ve attended mass as well my wife was sick and then Covid-19 moved in and she decided I wasn’t going to be going due to my underlying health concerns… We had some conversations about that but she always won :S Then the ArchBishop shuttered the church when things really started to pick up here

On the plus side tho it’s actually helped to strengthen my spiritual life: Scripture every morning as well as prayer time before work … Also funny enough I also had a dream related to church I don’t really remember too much of it now except for the fact that someone, somewhere has the nicest voice and a great version of Ave Maria… and then I woke up
 
I will be at adoration tomorrow at my usually scheduled time.Exposition in the church rather than the small chapel.
 
Washing is even better than toilet paper. It takes more time but nothing is fresher.
 
For the sake of privacy, I don’t name my Diocese online.

However, I am working on a list of ALL US Dioceses and their policies. Stay tuned!!
