Nobody sells regular paper anymore?

Post by Soldier Blue »

I went to the store to buy some much needed notebook paper for college work and they only had sizes 10.5 x 8 in the 3 stores I checked :? . Just need some normal 8.5 x 11 paper, that is what I've used last year and for my entire school career...
Stupid Question, yes, but I can't help but wonder why they have stopped making it. :lol:

Blue lined 'school' notebook paper has always been 8 x 10.5. I just measured a piece with some really old drawings on it from high school. I think you're confusing yourself sir. :)

It's not printer paper I'm talking about buddy. They used to sell NOTEBOOK paper at printer paper size , I have a binder full of completed work in it. I think they also call it FILLER paper and for what ever reason they have stopped selling it where I live. I like it better than the smaller 10.5 x 8.

Nobody sells regular paper anymore, too me its the other way around with a particular number 2 pencil. I had these good unbreakable #2 pencils very light peachy wood (not brown) color near the edge of lead point. I never saw those pencils ever again. I love the Japanese Pilot pens that are not sold in any American stores unless its a Japanese store. One time I bought 5 star Notebook as a kid thought it would be great, but results were bad. The teacher wanted a one page paper handwritten except the notebook had too much room to write making me feel more tired to write. I stop using that notebook after week.
