Hi folks,

I'm sitting here listening to Coast to Coast. George Noory continually mentions, as do his callers, something BIG is coming to a town near us all. Of course, no details on C2C, but just look at the World around us, there's heavy stuff getting ready to come down.

I found an article, and also saw variations on ATS; the article illustrated a point that I didn't want to bring forth in this forum until some evidence. I know during the collapse of the USSR toilet paper was gold; so was hot water for that matter. Here's a link to a current situation in Cuba regarding the economy, and no toilet paper:
english.pravda.ru...

So, as to the title, when the dollar crashes, many will feel a "fire, and brimstone" because of lack of prepardness. Also, due to not thinking outside the box. We will be living in a system for a while, soon, where the US dollar will not buy anything. Until something is reestablished as a common means of exchange We will need to barter.

Gold, and silver won't feed a family so in my opinion it won't be worth much. I am encouraging People to think outside of box; think about what will be a necessity. Toilet paper has proven itself to be a highly valued commodity in down trodden places.

I personally have loaded up on enough to actually barter a little with it. It's cheap now, and so far has lasted pristine for over a year, and a half. Sure it takes up room in the shop, but I don't wanna use leaves.

Any thoughts on this, or other pertinent goods for barter feel free to post.

Toilet Paper- Bahhh.
When times are tough, just do, as they do in south-east asia; use your hand and a bucket of water.
Its only s__t! Once you can get over that fact, you can survive.

That's what i was gonna say, and you know what hand you're supposed to use, right? You know WHY it's proper to shake with the right hand? In africa left handed handshakes are proper for the same reason.

And yeah, what's the big deal if poo touches your hand? Poo was just touching your butthole wasn't it? Your mouth is dirtier than your butt, and your hand is probably dirtier than your butt too.

Too right!
You see I dont really care for that left hand, right hand custom!
Wouldn't we use soap and water if available; if not, only then would it be an issue.
And If no paper (ANY PORT IN STORM). Leaves and phone books (as have been suggested; are indeed an obvious choice)- maybe even some religious texts- ooooppppsss!

Could it be that middens where actually piles of discarded food-scaps etc (rubbish heap); why not crap where the rest of the rubbish is?
