Thank you for the posting! I will try to go to the place.

I used to go to The Jangle at Washington Blvd.
I love the place more than rolling greens.
(people are more friendly and have more knowledge of the care of the plants) The shop is gone, but it seems to still be at Sawtelle (or moved?)

(When I think about finding a parking space at Sawtelle,
I am shy to go to the jangle...)

I don't think farting after meals in Japan is good thing either.

My Indian friend said that white is used only for funeral.
So don't use white if you are invite to a Indian wedding.

We recently found the article and follow the steps,
and just started using the system last week.

We have two 40lb dogs, and the their poops were big issue.
We picked them up with a plastic bags from grocery shops
and dumped them to our garbage bin. The garbage bin smells AWFUL, especially in summer (I mean now)

We use a plastic laundry hamper that already has holes on the side.I also got a container powder for one of the pet waste composting systems, like Doggie Dooley. (If you type 'septic powder' in amazon, they show up. So I think they are same concept.)

I also found a couple of articles that using worms for the composting, but one of them says that you have to 'feed' fresh one, otherwise worms don't take.

We have been using paw plunger for about 1 year.
It is washing the paws in the bottle, so it is better than wiping.
We wipe the paws with dry towels afterward.
The water goes to to patio plants, and the towels are washes every weekend; which mean no wasting.
We walk with our two dogs twice a day. It looks silly and kind big, but we need something to clean their paws. It works for us.

I think it may look cool because the space are filled with the toilet papers. Once you pull out a paper from the wall, it probably does
not look wall or partition at all.
(Or you might have another space to keep the extra papers so that the wall is always filled?)
Eventually, the top papers get dusty, and really bottom one may
catch some splashes from floor...
It does not work for me.

> why not just use rags?
I thought so, but it sound more durable than regular dish-cloths. I may try it.

By the way, I came from Japan, and we use dish wiping clothes (we call 'hukin') because dish washer is not popular like here. When they get old, they turn into 'dai-hukin,' which are used to
wipe kitchen-counters and table. (I think we name them different so that we don't mix them.)
When the clothes get really dirty, we use them for cleaning really dirty area
like window frame or toilet bowl before we throw them away.
(my mom also keeps worn-out socks and underwear for the purpose)
Since my husband (american) and I have been using so much paper towels, I start thinking to go back my culture (and any alternative solutions)

I think it is theremin
