Yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down...

Who sticks to this principal?

What is funnier than this question are the "related topics" that pop up at the bottom of the screen

Brown stuff sticking to the unprincipled Principal (tough school!) has possibilities, too.

Way back when the water came by truck once a week, flushing was determined only by the marginal propensity to asphyxiation.

My wife does when it's yellow, but I'm more convinced it's due to laziness and an overactive bladder due to MS (she seems to go every 20-30 minutes at times). For the latter, it does seem less wasteful, but at what point do you say "just flush it already"?

Cruising sailors, at least on the Great Lakes. No discharge overboard is allowed on the Great Lakes, which makes sense since we have 1/5th of the world's available fresh water. Because of the discharge ban, all of the black water goes into a holding tank, which of course fills up and makes you go find a pump-out station. Sailboats don't move very fast, so going to pump out can be a real bummer.

I sold my sailboat (which had a holding tank) last year, and bought a smaller (23') boat which just has a portable head, so now the rule is "hold it!"

That reminds me of the Babe Ruth story...

We do at my house!! Saves allot of stress on the septic system and saves the well too! (Does not apply when company is over the house)

How do the fish feel about this? Is it better to flush more often, or less?
