Having experienced a recent surgery that caused difficulty in this “department” I looked ahead to the coming years and thought this would be a good idea.
I had no idea how good these would work...needless to say, the bidet seats are wonderful and everyone that visits and uses the facility says the same...in addition I ordered ADA compliant toilets ( higher than normal seat height) and we love them.
Surprisingly well made and everything included to convert any seat to a bidet seat...$100
If anyone would like the manufacture and supplier, PM me.

WOW! Any short term rental (like 10-15 minutes), just to try it out)?

I think the city of Laconia is trying to limit "short term rentals".

Not a short term rental. Look at it as a pay toilet, like in the good old days. Out on a date, and she says "I need to use the bathroom, have you got a dime? " "Nope , duck under or climb over! "

Sorry...under the current circumstances, family only!
Perhaps you can start a “go fund me”’ wash my ass fund!

While no rubbing alcohol in the area it seems, use Hydrogen Peroxide. Dollar Store had some, per a friend who bought a few bottles yesterday.

Plenty of mouthwash around and it has 41% alcohol. While may not be AS effective, it's better than nothing and easy to find. Plenty in stock at Wal-Mart. And minty fresh hands, to boot!

Paper towels and tissues and napkins seem to be available at most places and a good backup. Of course, don't flush - after use keep them in a plastic grocery bag and toss in garbage when full. My in-laws have done this for years as they continue to nurse their septic system.

Gilford Wal-Mart restocked the baby/personal wipes (3-packs) as of yesterday.

Oh, and our oldest was here from Portland early this week and we told her to NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TP. Wouldn't that be interesting if everyone in the city flushed what they shouldn't flush (napkins, paper towels, tissues) and a huge backup resulted? Thankfully she is on the 3rd floor...

Someone who is a plumber needs to do a post on this. Really important mention about this on TV last evening.

Plenty at the hardware store. You have to dilute it yourself.

One must be sure that the TC (toilet critter) is not a porcupine.

[Newbiesaukee]

At Heaths around 11:30 am today. Not particularly busy, well stocked (except for TP) and short checkout lines. No wipes for the carts. Not bad at all.

How do you keep 6 feet away from the cashiers? Self check out maybe if available but I usually have one item that does not work. To say nothing of the cashiers who have no control over their own safety. Masks on the cashiers might protect the clients to some extent...less helpful for cashiers themselves.

Have not used elder hours even though I could.

This is a real question, not a criticism of anyone; it does seem high risk for the cashiers.

As Top-Water hinted, there is a very local source available.

I got one of those a few weeks ago. It works great and yes- you use a lot less toilet paper.

Just shopped at Hannaford in Guilford. While some stocking staff were wearing masks, none of the cashiers and baggers were. What gives Hannaford?! You are missing the boat here. It is a courtesy to your shoppers (the majority of whom were wearing masks). Get with it!

[rick35]

We went shopping at Hannaford in Bedford yesterday and I was shocked to see cashiers and baggers not wearing masks and gloves. Yeah, what gives Hannaford’s?

[Top-Water]

Funny how there has been this incredible run on toilet paper, but no mention of tools used to hide the evidence.

I have been a bit obsessed with the whole situation, but I honestly don’t see the problem. I can see face masks, but why toilet paper?

There are many substitutes for things that are currently out of stock...nobody HAS to buy bottled water, we can get that out of our taps. Nobody HAS to eat pasta...plenty of other foods to eat. Toilet paper is a different situation...hoarders who are buying it up are causing us non-hoarders to go on these scavenger hunts. I could easily get by on a roll per week, but that doesn't go for the rest of the house, so we have to "s*** or get off the pot" and make these early morning runs to ensure our families have what they need. It'll pass, but for now you have to play the game...

Actually... I have! I know what you're saying, it's crappy water, but it's still water.... drinking it would be nothing like wiping your butt with a critter! :-)

You are no doubt gonna pay for that statement, I can hear the animal lovers lining up for a shot at you now ;-)
This pandemic would have been so much more convenient at a time of year when the leaves weren't so dry and crunchy ...but at least I have an endless supply of hot water. The sales of bidets should go through the roof, I wonder how much Crocodile Dundee would charge for an endorsement??

I suspect most PETA members are not NRA members, so, he'll be safe.

If they didn't come after me for stationing the cats up on the roof for " rodent search and destroy ", I think they'll let this one slide as well...

A story on WMUR early news today had a story on re-usable toilet paper.

Yes : you read that correctly, re-usable toilet paper.

Has Market Basket in Tilton instituted the changes announced on Saturday and shown in the media? I.e., 6-foot distancing in the line outside the store?

Media reports do NOT say that Market Basket is enforcing a 6-foot rule at the checkout. Is that correct?

I can't understand why Market Basket has been so slow to implement these changes, behind other stores.

I can tell you that I was in the Rochester MB last week (Wed or Thu), and they were practicing the 6' "rule" at the registers. When it was my turn to approach the register, I put my articles on the belt, pushed my cart ahead for the bagger, and stood by the credit card machine. Suddenly, the cashier says "Sir, you need to get back behind the line on the floor. " I looked back and a gentleman with gloves and a mask on was loading his groceries on the belt. The checkout areas were set up quite well defining each checkout line, with gray floor markings showing the 6' areas. Not sure how things are at all MBs now, but my guess they are compliant.

FWIW

The Safeway markets in California have implemented one-way aisles. Painted arrows on the floor provide the guidance and 6' distancing remains.

My Market Basket has that too, but I did not notice right away.

Heard it through the grapevine that Wolfeboro state liquor got closed about a week ago because its' workers were scared to work there during the coronavirus scare?

Any one know if that's the reason and is Wolfeboro state liquor really closed?

Looks like the announced plan for state liquor to stay open with outdoor service where you place your order at the front door, or something, was switched to limiting the number of customers allowed inside the store.

Some states like Pennsylvania have totally closed their Pennsylvania state liquor stores, but here in NH, state liquor is essential. Probably, one big reason that NH state liquor is essential is the big revenue it brings in for the State of NH.

So, coronavirus or no coronavirus, seems like the great majority of our 77-NH states liquors are open for business, and ready to serve ...... here, here! ...... cheers and good health to you ...... so, bottoms up!

[fatlazyless]

So, what is the smart shopper wearing during the current C-19, coronavirus pandemic?

Gov Sununu has strongly recommended everyone wear face masks for now while inside the grocery store, and www.theedgetiedye.com in Center Harbor has excellent quality, all cotton, tie dye bandanas for five dollars that are to die for ....... ha-ha-ha ..... ho-ho-ho ..... get it ..... tie dye ..... to die for .... probably a wee bit inappropriate here!

Also, same tie dye bandanas, made by The Edge, are sold at Heath's Hardware store for the same five bucks ....... and after the virus leaves town .... you will still be here and can use your bandana for fishing that big lake and as a pandemic keep sake.

Highest quality, five dollars, 100% cotton, many many different tie dye designs from low contrast color to high contrast colors .... sold at the hardware store in Center Harbor.

[fatlazyless]

As of Monday, April 20, Walmart requires all its employees to wear face masks.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/walmart-...es-face-masks/

As the employer with the most employees in the U.S. that will probably expand the wear-a-mask message, and send that thought coast to coast, even to Route 109 in Moultonborough.

I was at the exit 20 Demoulas in Tilton this AM during their special old poopies hours and the procedures they had in place made what could be considered a bit scary just fine. Almost all of the clients entering the store had masks on and seemed to respect the spacing recommendations. There was a momentary delay getting in but it really wasn't an issue. The staff was as always polite and friendly ...but surprisingly none seemed to wear masks??

Was there enforced 6-foot distancing at the cash register?

How many people were waiting between 6:00 and 7:00?

Any empty shelves or missing products?
