172. I'm not trading the ones in my house

Wed Dec 11, 2019, 12:01 AM

Dec 2019

the pre-regulation version. I like them. We have well water & a septic system that returns the water to the water table. So it is a far easier question for me than if I lived in the southwest for example.

I don't own the ones giving me trouble - and no one is likely to do a darn thing until they (meaning me & others with illnesses like the intransigent c dif) make someone ill because our poo is repeatedly splattered all over the walls, the tissue dispenser, the flush handle, the door handle, etc. And the cleaning crew doesn't. Clean, that is. Day 2 no towels. Fortunately I have a secret supply.

Flush count today: 3 pees - 7 flushes - fortunately no showers (fecal or otherwise).
