Our local K-Mart just stopped carrying our toilet paper.
If that doesn't sound like a disaster, I'm just not selling it hard enough. We once spent a good, solid half-hour in our intermediate Spanish class, talking about this exceptional papel de baño. There was plenty to say. And the K-Mart was the last place we could find it, after Safeway/Vons, then Albertsons, then Target all slowly, quietly, one-by-one tipped over like little toilet-paper-store dominoes. We'd go to the store in a rush, left with only boxes of tissues at home (Puffs Plus! nothing else!), and stand stricken in front of the shelf, empty, tag removed--or worse, newly filled with stacks of something useless. We always found it somewhere else, but now our last source is gone. No more Charmin Plus (unscented, with aloe) for our tender regions.
Add this to the short but growing list of the things we can't live without, but can't actually go buy in the LA area (SporTea, Celestial Seasonings Lemon Ice cool-brew tea). Well, thank goodness for the internet. Last night, Noah found that we can buy online at Amazon! what a site!--it also has lively discussions and ratings of our TP, and lesser brands. I pass on this information as a public service, and as our celebration.
