People ask about the difference between frugal and cheap. That's the living embodiment of it.
Similar to the difference between "eccentric" and "nuts". I like eccentric. I don't want anything to do with nuts. My Grandpa had a toilet that was a huge energy and water-saver, he called it the "Outhouse". Maybe it's time to go back to those, but maybe in a different manner than is being done in San Francisco.
Couple a browns hanging around for a day or two never hurt anyone. Be gross?
Fixed it for you.
And you never said why in this thread you said you lived alone, but in other threads you have a husband. I guess you just ignore it when others catch you in a lie ... always a good strategy. ()

Could be both scenarios are true, but hubby heads for the hills when the house starts stinking like a feed lot from too many water-saving measures.
Her opening post mentioned living alone. Still, ew. Perhaps her poop smells sweet to her, the "defecator," but I can pretty much guarantee that it doesn't smell good to any one else. This reminds me of that episode of "Hoarders" where that poor afflicted person saved her poop and pee in jugs....
Some disgusting people enjoy their own farts, the smell of their armpits and , unwashed body and analyze their poop. They rub fingers between toes and eat their boogers...
I probably should have wrote, having my own bathroom and living on the other side of the house has its benefits.
Sorry about that.
Water here is sold in BULK at 1000 gallons, so conservation of water is a priority. We can use 1000 gallon up fast.
Couple a browns hanging around for a day or two never hurt anyone. Be honest?
It could help many dial up some humility?
No, it's gross. ANd not sanitary. And even if the defecator doesn't find the initial smell revolting, as it breaks down it is disgusting. Because bacteria growth starts as soon as it exits the body.
4000 years ago the Sumerians invented clay pipes to whisk away their excrement. Outhouses, where plumbing wasn't available, were located, and have been, away from dwellings, so as not to encourage parasites and disease.
Yikes, no. Gross. My household does "if it's yellow", but that's only for family. If a guest comes over, we flush. If it's not yellow any time, we flush. Like someone else said, people urinate multiple times a day, plus it's not breaking down into smelly compost. And it's going to cause plumbing issues to use too little liquid to flush.

Years ago all the tradespeople working in my Facility went out on strike. One small bathroom had a clogged urinal (that was backed up with urine in the bowl). It was a little ripe at first, but after a few weeks of inattention, got pretty bad, and you could smell it out in the hallway. Eventually my Manager said that we needed to do something about it, that it couldn't wait until the plumbers came came back to work. So, I got the rubber gloves, and ladled it into a five-gallon bucket. Well, it got REALLY ripe as it emptied and kept backing into the bowl, I got at least three gallons' worth into the bucket. When I dumped it into a janitorial mop sink nearby (in a small closet) the stench came back and hit me in the face, and I had to literally run out of the closet to avoid vomiting, it was that bad. The Upside was that when we pulled the urinal off the wall so we could rod the drain, a significant amount of residual urine sloshed out the back and onto my Boss' shoes, which leveled the playing field, I'm not sure I was able to suppress my grin enough to be convincing, LOL. That's the day that really reinforced my respect for professional Plumbers, and also K-50 rodders, what a great tool.
Anyhoo, just because it's yellow, doesn't mean it isn't full of decomposing bacteria, at least after some time has passed. "Could knock a buzzard of a schittwagon", as they say. "Managerial role", my azz.
If its yellow, let it mellow.. If its brown, flush it down...
Anyone else leave a couple a browns hangin around to save water?
Living alone, has its benefits.
Ugh......no.....just no. Flush that down.
