It's funny, because my grandparents had an outhouse in southern Missouri in the early 70's so I'm one of those "fortunate" folks who can remember using it, yet I had no idea where TP came from. At least I DO know where babies come from, right? :)Autumn Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04783445897373737521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-89336677250830258962010-01-12T08:10:26.088-06:002010-01-12T08:10:26.088-06:00I loved reading this.

What an interesting article. I often wondered how long it took humanity to see the need for toilet paper.

Nothing new to me, and toilet paper was only for those folks rich enough to have indoor plumbing! Can't really say we used old Sears. We used the circulars that came in the mail, newspapers, tore pages from old magazines, etc. And it was especially no fun in winter!<br /><br />Thanks for researching the wonderful invention of toilet paper.
