Well.
Seriously unmotivated to post anything, really, but I guess I can. Might fall in the category of TMI, but these are the things we deal with:
The PTB here on base complained via official email that people needed to quit using Wet Wipes in the toilets, because the sewage pumps "can't handle it." Ok, granted, we aren't in the 1st world out here, but I have an opinion on this:
My butt should not be bleeding after three days of toilet paper usage.
With this oh-so-pleasant image in mind, let's consider solutions. Possibly, we could bite the bullet (so to speak) and come up with a genuinely functional system that CAN handle flushed wipes. Perhaps, (like much of the 3rd world) we could put small, plastic-lined waste baskets in each stall, and all the paper products go in there to save the precious plumbing. The latrines are all cleaned 3 times daily, so there should be no problems that way.
Or, and this is a completely off-the-wall idea I know, how about we splurge a little and buy actual toilet tissue, INSTEAD OF THE ROLLS OF 60-GRIT SANDPAPER we're currently using!!!!
It's probably a good thing I'm not in charge....
