Today my carelessness almost led to a catastrophe. When I was younger I could shout to my mom to bring me some more toilet paper when I forgot to check the roll before doing my business. She heard innumerable panicked screams of "Hey Mom, I need some toilet paper" from all her children.
As an independent, single adult I have no such person to help me out when I'm in such a bind. So, I typically prepare for emergencies by keeping an extra role in my washroom. Unfortunately paper products have not been on my mind as of late, thus leaving me unprepared. Thankfully I had a few squares to spare... and after the hand washing, quickly resupplied the area with pillowy soft t.p.

I have been in the bind before. In the most desperate of times George Washington helped me out once. It was one of those experiences where you ask yourself, would you buy yourself some help for a dollar? Well too bad, there are no stores in this dingy bathroom.
Now I live in Canada again and my options are fewer and more difficult to make. A metal coin doesn't work the same and I am not sure if I would part with a five dollar bill.
How is that for too much information?
Hahahaha! George Washington!? Hahaha! Aisy did you happen to call out anyways? I have been alone and kind of spaced that I was alone, and called out regardless, "Hey! Toilet... Paper... Me... I... Dilemma."
I used a telephone book page the first week of being in country on my mission.
Speaking of toilet paper and too much information---when ever I go back down to latin america it takes me a few days to remember to throw away the toilet paper. Then when I come back, I always forget for a sec that I'm back in the states and go to throw it away, and then I remember that here in the states you are supposed to put it in the bowl. Um yeah, this past week I've been struggling.
a dollar is well worth it.. five is definitely questionable. and no tod, i yelled out in my head but not out loud.
sherpa... they put it in the garbage? eww. that could get very stinky in the bathroom.
The trash is always removed every night from the bathrooms in most houses and establishments. However, I've used the bathroom in enough places where the bathrooms are pretty stinky. I've been told that the pipes used in latin american bathrooms are smaller and toilets do get plugged if you throw it away--but I wonder if its just a custom. Maybe I should blog about it one of these days.
As for the yellow pages, we used it the first day in that house, and then bought our own toilet paper.
I read that whole Seinfeld script. Guess I haven't quite quenched my yearning to be an actres.
But about the tp, bummer. I stock one whole drawer in each our bathrooms full of the stuff. In fact, today is "go to Costco to buy the 85-pack" day.
