The Toilet Paper Dilemma

 

NOT earth shattering.
 Which way do you hang the roll 
of toilet paper?


HOW MANY RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BROKEN UP 
OR SPLIT INTO OVER THIS SUBJECT MATTER?
KIND OF LIKE....do you leave the toilet lid up or lower it when finished using the toilet?
Do you squeeze the tube of toothpaste in the middle or at the bottom of the tube?
Throw the empty milk carton away.  Don't put it back in the 'fridge when empty.
Were you born in a barn?  Shut the door.
Pick up your undies and put them in the clothes hamper.


I've wondered...which way the toilet paper is suppose to hang 
on the toilet paper roller. 
 Know what I mean?  Have you wondered? 


Is it suppose to be positioned where the pieces of tissue are closest to the user (over the roller) or is the tissue suppose to hang to where it rolls off the back of the roll of toilet paper???



Not a bad dilemma......just wondering.
WHAT'S THE PROPER WAY? 




If ANN LANDERS said that this was the most controversial issue in her column's history, than I am in pretty good company.   

Well Eppie....you did well.   
Ann Landers was Eppie Lederer.

Esther Pauline "Eppie" Lederer (née Friedman; July 4, 1918 – June 22, 2002), better known by the pen name Ann Landers, was an American advice columnist and eventually a nationwide media celebrity who began her career writing the 'Ask Ann Landers' column in 1955. She wrote the column for 47 years, by which time its readership was 90 million people. A 1978 World Almanac survey named her the most influential woman in the United States.[1] She was the twin sister to Pauline Phillips, aka Abigail Van Buren, known for writing the 'Dear Abby' column.
She was a profile-raiser for several medical charities, and in 1977 President Carter appointed her to a six-year term on a cancer advisory board.

In her later years, Lederer wrote her column at home, sometimes while in the bathtub. She had numerous friends and was a regular part of the Chicago social scene.

Toilet paper orientation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The over orientation

The under orientation
Toilet paper when used with a toilet roll holder with a horizontal axle parallel to the wall has two possible orientations: the toilet paper may hang over (in front of) or under (behind) the roll. The choice is largely a matter of personal preference, dictated by habit. In surveys of American consumers and of bath and kitchen specialists, 60–70% of respondents prefer over.[1]
Despite its being an apparently trivial topic, some people hold strong opinions on the matter. Advice columnist Ann Landers said that the subject was the most controversial issue in her column's history. Defenders of either position cite advantages ranging from aesthetics, hospitality, and cleanliness to paper conservation, the ease of detaching individual squares, and compatibility with a recreational vehicle or a cat. Celebrities and experts are found on both sides. Some writers have proposed connections to age, sex, or political philosophy; and survey evidence has shown a correlation with socioeconomic status.[2]
Solutions range from compromise, to using separate dispensers or separate bathrooms entirely[citation needed], or simply ignoring the issue altogether. One man advocates a plan under which his country will standardize on a single forced orientation, and at least one inventor hopes to popularize a new kind of toilet roll holder which swivels from one orientation to the other.[3]


Okay....what do you think?  

I decided from this day forward, 
I will be using the OVER the roll method.






Next dilemma...what do you do 
with the cardboard rollers???

That's fodder for a different post.


Do you throw them away or flatten them out for keeping and use for fireplace starters?  Save for Craft Projects?  Use for extension cord holders?  Scarf holders?  Use for package stuffers like mailing peanuts? 



Enough for today.

So glad we have TOILET PAPER,

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
