happyrobert Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Does anybody know where I can buy 365 sheets of paper and a pen with which to, in about 10 minutes time, write the date at the top of each page? I need to keep track of my schedule for 2011. No, wait, I only need 260 sheets. Unless you don't read this until tomorrow, then 259 sheets. And, don't waste my time with where you think I can buy it. Where you have bought it in the last 24 hours and know they have it in stock. Not a diary or day planner, organizer or calender. Not a journal or digital planner. Just paper and a pen. I've looked everywhere. No smart a$$ answers, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Standard copy paper is 450. If you give away 190 then you will have 260. Good idea is to put it your printer and make 260 Pages in word and print date on each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Location not provided but I have seen sheets of paper and pens for sale at the newsagent shop. Paper can come in reams of 480 sheets in the A4 format, pens come in singular format or up-to boxes of 20, hope that helps.

happyrobert Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 The earliest replies were succinct, informative and thoughtful. But, maybe someone could post a photo so that there is no room for misunderstanding. I prefer college-ruled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd miss all my appointments in my busy, busy schedule. But I do like things that come in a golden tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Why not buy a day-per-page diary (desk planner), this thread will help you find one Personally, I used to have them coming out of my ears, every contractor was giving them away, this year I got one! Obviously belt tightening is going on everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonrakers Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 365 sheets would suggest that you only intend to use one day per sheet. I find this very wasteful and think you should be more mindful of the environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpoint Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) 365 sheets would suggest that you only intend to use one day per sheet. Or indeed, one sheet per day. I find that with a bum gun that is more than enough. Combine it with a diary and you can say goodbye to your breakfast and yesterday's plan at the same time.

Not me. I'm a masochist. I set my bum gun to "stun" and finish off with a sheet of number 5 sand paper. Unlined and undated.

borowolf Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I use a different solution that does not need you to buy any paper at all. If I want to make an appointment I call my girlfriend and ask her if I am available at that time. The answer is always yes. So lately I saved myself time and telephone costs. I do not call her anymore. Every morning when she goes to work (another little change I made compared to my European wife I had before), she tells me what appointment I have for the day. She always sais I have nothing to do. So lately I do not ask her any more and I sleep late. Another advantage of this approach is that I lost most, if not all of my friends giving me all the time I need to write posts like this. Helping other people to discover the solutions that work for me. And this really gives me a good feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconsequential, as the highly invented Western ideal of a "leap year" won't apply in Thai circles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregb Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm not sure they sell real Western style paper over here. Last time I was up north though I saw them making a Thai style of paper from elephant dung. Perhaps if you went to Lotus and purchased several large, black trashbags, and attached these bags to the backsides of several pachyderms, you could collect enough raw material to build the paper yourself.

IanForbes Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Keep em coming, Robert. I enjoy a morning laugh. I'll tell you where to get the paper and pen if you will tell me where I can buy a good Padt thai with some bottled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
