Well then, live it up.

The only reason I know this was, my kids were flushing them and it clogged the sewer line in our house. Plumber said we were very lucky it didn't get out into the yard or they'd have been digging it up.
Right. I did have to have my yard ripped up which I thought was due to the wet wipes but a tree branch actually just grew through the clay sew pipe and caused one hell of a mess. 4 grand later it was back to normal.

OT: Over the last few years several insurance carriers have begun offering coverage for this and it's a pretty inexpensive add-on, like $19/year or something for me. Check it out.
 
At work I am required to rinse - soap and scrub for 10-15 seconds then rinse clean. This is due to studies showing how effective it is each way and that scrubbing for over 15 seconds is accomplishing nothing extra, so this all translates to my personal life and is how I have taught my kids to wash their hands also.

Aren't you a proctologist? And you're curious why your fingernails are dirty???
 
I think bar soap is actually making a big comeback. Combination of being better for the environment and premium soap most women I know buy.

I’m sure sales of bars of Dial and Irish Spring aren’t bouncing back though.

As a soap-crafter homemade soaps are awesome and my wife thinks I'm a man's man. One of those things is true...

I wet first then soap. Mrs. Velo applies soap first then water. She always complains because I get water on the counter top. I respond that I wouldn't get water all over if people would quit moving the soap farther away. Most vanities have that little indentation around the sink where any water runs back into the sink where your soap should sit but people tend to move it out of that area for no reason. I do dry up any water mess if I should happen to make one around the sink.

Married people find so much stupid stuff to argue about.
 
Hand sanitizer has germ-killers in it. Soap and water still has germs in it!
Great. Do you sprinkle sanitized urine on your food? Hand sanitizer kills germs but it doesn't wash urine, **** or anything else off. It is better than nothing but it doesn't replace washing.

Good point. And very poignantly made. :eek:

Once when travelling I came upon a rest area and had to take a major dump. Toilet wouldn't flush, no water to wash either. Thankfully I had hand sanitizer and used it quite liberally.
