Adult Living
I am shocked at my apparent lacking ability to keep my house stocked with toilet paper on a regular basis. I know, on a intellectually level, that this is not a hard task for an adult to accomplish, making sure there is always toilet paper at the ready when you are in need. But somehow this dose not translate into there actually being toilet paper there when I need it. I always seem to be on the last roll, and never noticeing that I am on my last roll...untill it is gone of course...and I pick up that disappointingly brown piece of cardboard that was left to taunt me (perhaps by the last person to use the fading roll of toilet paper, perhaps as a statement to me about my inability to pull off this seemingly important adult task of keeping a bathroom properly stocked)

Personally, i blame the manufacturers and packagers of the toilet paper rolls sold in most grocery stores. Each roll - i am convinced - is engineered to last about a minute and a half . . . a much shorter time than any rational and reasonable human being would ever expect.
My solution - less than perfect, but allowing the avoidance disaster for a much longer space of time - is to purchase a case of industrial toilet paper from the outlets that supply businesses. Okay, it sets one back about $80.00 but - consider the advantages. One roll lasts at least three times as long as those loosely rolled grocery store brands. There are 48 rolls in a case . . . and in our lovely home, our current case was purchased in June 05, and we still have just under a dozen rolls left!
Long term abdication of adult responsibility achieved - check. Clean bottoms achieved - check. Better bank balance achieved - check. Self recrimination for lack of toilet paper majorly diminished - check. What could be better?
