Several times I have been surprised by a sudden urge, for example when out in the woods picking berries. My experience is that it almost always is possible to find a secluded spot where to get things done. Then it is good to know that the duty can be finished the normal way, without any improvisation. As written above, it lets me keep a feeling of basic decency in an otherwise embarrassing situation.Anitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621613202600179197.post-30736359864631093962023-08-14T02:10:48.152-07:002023-08-14T02:10:48.152-07:00This is a very sensible list.

For five consecutive days I couldn't wait for the next village. I had to duck behind the bushes several times to relieve myself. (And, yes, I put the used paper in my waste bag, so no paper left. Not everybody did that, I saw.)<br /><br />Therefore, I experienced a lot of embarrassing moments that really had been even worse without the ordinary paper! Going in the bushes is quite uncomfortable for an aging woman, but the paper allowed me to preserve some sense of decency!Marianoreply@blogger.com
