Toilet paper was always a trying experience where I grew up. Growing up around Wisconsin's Fox River valley, where most of the nation's toilet paper is made, many of the paper mill employees, or friends/family of paper mill employees were often times subject to being guinea pigs for the mill's R&D department. I'll never forget going to the bathrrom at a friend's house when I was a kid. I did my stand-up bit, then had to blow my nose. My pal's dad wound up getting his hands on a batch that Georgia Pacific was testing to help with those who had old septic systems, and was a bit of an easy-dissolve formula. I took about four sheets, halved what I had and blew. The toilet paper didn't hold up and I wound up covering the vanity in snot! I felt horrible, but my buddy's mom was cool about it, and knew that the TP was to blame.
As a public service to my fellow board members, I went through my bathroom and found what can and can't be used to handle the problem if there should be a TP emergency. I'm assuming that many of you have bathrooms like mine, which normally have several catalogs from various companies. After looking, I discovered that a Musician's Friend, Elderly, Sam Ash or JC Whitney catalog is mostly made of glossy paper to facilitate color printing. These won't work well--no "absorbancy," or as I'll call it, "grab factor." However, the cheap SOBs at good ol' Stew-Mac still print on B&W newsprint style paper, which does have some "grab factor," if needed. Plus, I know what a couple of you would like to do to a page with Dan Erlewine's big scowl on it. I guess this qualifies as my PSA for the day--keep TP stocked, but if you don't use the Stew-Mac catalog.
