So, in connection with @antonbunot's discussion about curiosity, I am showing you 2 stones or small rocks from a hill from where we evacuated during the Gulf War. The hill was where the evacuees would do their number 2 or poop. They dig a hole, and that was where they excrete their poop. Then they wash their behind with the water they bring, in bottles.
I cannot do my number 2. But I took 3 stones or small rocks from this Jordanian hill to serve as a remembrance.
One has a mounted camel - rider because the 'leg of the camel was cut off' and my sister fixed it by attaching the camel on the Rock. The 2nd one is that bigger stone or small rock at the bottom. The other one is a paper - weight in my brother's cabinet.
These stones or small rocks are mementos of my experience as an evacuee during the Gulf War.

@antonbunot At least she was able to get those precious stones as mementos before she escaped the wrath of the Gulf war.

So they used bottled waters to wash off poopies from their butts. This guy in my drawing may not be doing the same thing because he is in a real washroom not at the summit of Jordanian hill.??

i would go out of the house dirty, messy, and as if a man. i did not want to appear like a lady. we would stay awake at night and sleep during day time.

@antonbunot some persons do not use tissue paper to wipe their butts; they prefer water splashed on the hole.

yes it really was. we were a group of nurses who rode on their cars from Kuwait to Iraq where the owners of the cars sold their vehicles when we reached Jordan.

@ridingbet so good you and your family are okay 
. It was an awful time in Kuwait, sorry you had to wait for all that before you could be evacuated.

@bluesa we really preferred to live the city after all the invading soldiers have taken everything they can steal from the foreign workers, that is why i was able to sneak out my precious rice cooker, Ricoh camera, and other items too. the big Yamaha organ that is my goft for my mother was also stored in the house of a Kuwaiti friend, which he sent when the war ended.

we are safe now from the super typhoon that hit our region last week. we evacuated from Kuwait when all of the Iraqi soldiers were full with the riches stolen from houses, and women were no longer threatened to be raped by them.
