If you live for disaster, that is what you'll get. I've lived through too much and too many threats and predictions to worry about what might happen. This moment is good and this is where I prefer to stay.

If pele comes to take you home go with her, if the ocean comes to take you home go with it, if a foreign country comes to take your home fight to the death. If a world wide disaster comes and you get out alive congrats you live in the newly reformed Kingdom of Hawaii. It's like the Switzerland of the pacific. Expensive homes and great banks. Wait you allready have that.

Condoman, you must be very new to Punaweb. We are a very well prepared, aware, thoughtful population. Many if not most of us have supplies to last us not only through a strike but any natural disaster. Many of us are (or are nearly) sustainable on our land. Take a deep breath and if this truly brings you great anxiety, Rob may be right... this remote place might not be the best place for you.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"

Please do not tell me what is best for me ok? We all have our opinions, and you have yours. I realize your a californian who has lots of money. You can afford to be more prepared than most of us.

Granted I am a single guy and don't use much TP. I figure 6 squares/day. That is 80 days per 500 sheet roll. Of the 45 roll package I bought at Costco well over a year ago, I still have 29 unopened rolls. That is over 6 years worth left. OK to be conservative figure 12 sheets per day. That's still over 3 years worth.

Maybe I just don't use that much TP compared to the average individual. If so however, that means the average individual is using TOO MUCH TP! If the you know what is really hitting the fan, their poor decision making ability and failure to set priorities will be a bigger problem for them than the actual lack of toilet paper.

Cat, The comments on that site had me rollin'!

[MarkP]

I may have underestimated my usage, leaving out other uses. However I could triple my estimated rate of use and still explain why I have never felt the least concern over adequate stockpiles of toilet paper in an emergency. With what I have got under the sink right now I could easily last more than a year.

Pardon the Pun, but are you ****..ng me?I can go through a 1000 sheet role in 4 days just for me! 6 squares? Who can possibly do that unless {I DO NOT MEAN TO BE GRAPHIC} you have the healthiest low residual producing excrement that does not require wiping! LOL Sorry but I had to respond to that. I really do not know what is expected "NORMAL" useageof toilet paer per restroom session but 6 sheets only?Really! I can go through SCOTTS 4 roll in WAY less than month maybe half! LOL
