What is Sheryl “just use one square” Crow going to do. I mean if she’s only using one square and it keeps getting smaller she’s gonna get funk on her fingers. Of course on those “pesky occasions,” Crow claims 2 or 3 are necessary and acceptable.

Paper is getting smaller, while America is getting fatter.

I have the same problem, but it’s not consistant. Sometime they fit and sometimes they fall thru. I’m afraid it is a way of keeping prices down and I don’t expect anyone will change back just for us.

I went to a hardware store and found a piece of PVC plastic pipe used under a sink called a 6″ “tailstock” that fits into a toilet paper roll. I cut it down to just a little longer than an older roll I had. Now if a roll keeps falling out, I just insert this prostetic, and then put both back onto the holder.

It isn’t as convenient as just being able to slip a new roll in, but it doesn’t look too much different and it does keep the roll from falling out of the holder.

I feel your pain, keep the faith, and let’s hope they don’t get even smaller.
