I like the happy middle ground. Stiiff enough to hold together.
My wife likes the stuff that explodes in your hand like a feather pillow ripped open.
For any who like to sit around a fire at night with friends and have a few drinks you need to get your best "voice" to read this to you

For all who've turned around and said "Oh, my Gawd" this book is for you.

Any article that discusses TP, while quoting the WWF, has to be suspect??
The shortage could impact those who choose toilet paper with a bulky amount of recycled material, but most household tissue products contain very little recycled paper, according toWWF, an international environmental organization.

...or that heavy brown coarse German toilet paper that's similiar to what's used for wiping hands here. Maybe that's why those folks over there are so harsh. :D
My father once told me that when he was a kid growing up on a farm in the mid-west during the depression they couldn't afford the luxury of toilet tissue so they kept and old Sears & Roebuck catalog in the outhouse. As you were answering the call of nature you could actually read at the same time and wish for better things.

my Dad also grew up in the midwest during the depression. He said they used corn cobs:eek: by todays standards that sounds incredible but its true. At that time they did not have an out house and since they fed out their hogs with un-shelled corn there was always an ample supply of cobs in the barnyard:D

And there was the Sears-Roebuck, and "Monkey Wards" catalogs that were present in the outhouse - and not just for reading purposes.
Corn cobs weren't too bad, if they were fresh! Eeee-uuuuuuu! :boohoo

Is this how the habit of "reading whilst on the throne" got started? :munchin
Watching the old paper mill towns in the Northeast lose their mills to South America and Russia, I think I have an idea why "high quality paper" is in short supply now.

We are destroying the Earth, and need to rein in our rampant consumerism by using recycled paper.
Dinky cars with dinky engines, headache producing flourescent bulbs, and now this.
It's starting to chap my ass.
