I once read a news article about two roommates who got into such a huge fight that one ended up coshing the other over the head and killing him. Know what the fight was over? Toilet paper. They were arguing over whose turn it was to buy more. I thought that was one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard

I don't understand how people can go through toilet paper so quickly. They seem to use a huge wad of it every time. Completely unnecessary. In Russia there were four of us sharing an apartment. I'd buy four rolls at a time and stack them beside the toilet. A couple of days later, we'd be down to half a roll. I think they must have been giving the rolls away. I didn't like the idea of supplying toilet paper for other people in the building, so I'd keep a roll in my closet. When I went to the bathroom I'd take it with me and use it, and then I'd take it back to my room with me and put it back in my closet.

I've already written too much about toilet paper but I have a funny story to tell. A friend was telling me that her pet peeve was people wasting toilet paper. She had a roommate once who picked up on that, and deliberately started wasting toilet paper just to annoy her. She'd leave big wads of it in the toilet and in the garbage cans. Well, one day the pipe behind the toilet burst and all the water seeped through the wall into the room of the person who had been wasting the toilet paper. When the plumber came, he said that the pipe had burst because someone had been flushing too much toilet paper down there. So I guess her roommate's plan backfired.

It's strange how some people get pregnant easily one time, but need fertility treatment the next time. My aunt's friend tried for years to get pregnant, without any luck. So they went with in vitro fertilization and ended up with triplets. When the triplets were 9 months old she unexpectedly got pregnant again.

Heh. That is funny. It's good to know I'm not the only one with toilet paper anxiety. Early on we'd agreed to share such supplies, I'm thinking now that was a bad idea. You have a much better concept of how to deal.

It is weird. I guess the human body is screwed up in ways even doctors don't understand.
