I have never heard of it before. Having had to use chamber pots and out houses I certainly am grateful for their creation

I am very thankful for the existence of toilets. They really changed everything for those of us in the developed world.

Well if we are talking toilets. What is needed is a suitable container into which a tablet is dropped to sterilize one's urine Any piece of rag would then do to clean the anus. It is said that the mouth is the dirtiest part of the body, but I think that is open to debate.
Got to go and work on the tablet.

There is nothing wrong with what my parents had. The long drop. Once a year Dad would empty it by lifting the metal sheeting behind it and turn it out into a field. Do it yourself manuring for growing food. Here we have a Septic toilet and when the man comes to empty it...(I disappear) into his big container on a truck he then empties that onto a field as well.

Oh, goodness! Toilet talk! Well, I am thankful for having them! That is an extremely high percentage of people who don't have access. So many problems to consider in this world. Toilets hadn't been on my short list...now they are! Seriously. How sad. Without water, a different kind would be needed!
