Geez Dana...it was half tongue in cheek this thread...mainly because I had my period and was thinking about what wonderful inventions tampons are and how it'd really suck if I didn't have them anymore.
I think most people might surprise themselves if the end of civilization did occur. I know I wouldn't be laying down in a heap on the ground regardless of what might happen, and yes, I know all about skin infections thanks to my skin disorders, but I figure there'll be chemist shops I can rip off if I need to. The druggies wont be stealing the stuff I need.
