[pct-l] Please HELP me!!!!



I've been following this list for months... and you've all provided so much amazing information.  I've purchase Yogi's book (thanks girl... it is awesome!) and I've bought all my gear, but I still have a few questions left... I have some time, since I'm not planning to leave until mid-june SB. Here are my questions (If these have been answered already.... PLEASE accept my apology)
 
1.   Bounce Box  ---  I have addresses for where to and where not to send these.... but, what kind of things do you typically keep in them?  I can certainly guess, but my best guesses so far have proven pretty far off the beam compared to what experienced thru-hikers actually do.
 
2.  Re-supply Boxes --- I think my opinion has been swayed toward buying supplies as I go, and only mailing to myself those things that I can't purchase on the trail.....  Here is my question.... What are those things that I will need and can't find on the trail?   (I'm already hip to sending ice axe and warm clothes prior to High Sierra)
 
3.  Ok, don't laugh.... please.... but I've been stressing about toilet paper.  I've been saving partial rolls.... to send in my resupply boxes.... is this ridiculous.... do you just carry a whole roll?  
 
I might be a tough and mighty macho mountain mama.... but when it comes to preparing for a thru-hike... I am pretty much clueless.
 
Thank you so very much for your help!

PS...  I'm not coming this weekend, because I'm saving the gas money for thru-hike and shuttles to Manning in June!  Have a blast!
