A post from the past

From the archives.....a post from October, 2006

Double your pleasure? I think not.


I think I've talked about double rolls before. Toilet paper, that is. We don't buy double rolls, because they don't fit well on our paper holder. There have been a couple of occasions, though, where we had to pick up some doubles when single rolls weren't available. So, once we tried Kleenex Cottonelle double roll. It sucked. It was rougher than regular roll. Could have been a couple of things - maybe it was a faulty batch...maybe Cottonelle just skimps on the double roll and sacrifices quality for quantity. I didn't think much more about it, since we just get the singles anyway. Then, we switched brands. I think Cottonelle has changed altogether. Not as soft and linty as hell. Or maybe my butt sensitivity has changed. Whatever. We've been giving Angel Soft a trial run. A probationary period, if you will. Things have been going well. But, for whatever reason, **** got the dreaded double rolls last time. Imagine my disappointment when, ONCE AGAIN, I find the double roll to be chintzy! Like, noticeably thinner. Like, my goods actually are shredding the paper. (if that isn't TMI, I don't know what is) OK, so now I'm just vowing to use single rolls no matter what. I'm officially anti-DR and shall begin my campaign of their demise. Or I will just complain about my experiences every chance I get.

Oh, and by the way, I'm pregnant again.

LOL - Mel!!!! OK, so this is what I get for "glancing over" the post before starting from the top and reading down. I read the whole post and then had a Holy Crap moment before going back to the top and seeing the "from the archives" tag.

We (as in me) always buy Charmin, by the way. I suppose it's good for my retirement ;).

I buy Charmin now, too, Kelli. The red package...the strong stuff. :) Yes, I'd need LOTS of TP if I found out I was pregnant at this point, since I'd be shitting myself silly! Also, there'd be that whole immaculate conception thing to marvel over...

My favorite is Nice N Soft, preferably the single roll, but I can't always find those. It's like they've disappeared.
