According to tp manufacturers and designers, tp is designed to roll over. Haven't seen any color designs for a long time, but much of the white still has a design embossed on it. Can't see the design if its facing the wall. I read about that many years ago in "Hints from Heloise". The original Heloise. Does her daughter still do that column? Haven't seen it for a while. Not in our local paper.
Rat has settled a debate that I have been arguing over for the past 4 years. At first, i didn't care. Then, someone challenged me about my toilet paper-hanging technique. I have been an over-re ever since. Simply put, I don't want my toilet paper against the wall where potential pets could more easily get at it. See? There is a practical reason! There, just one more bean in the crazy comment pot that is the PBS Comments page.
When I moved one time, my sister gave me a house warming gift of a toilet brush. It worked OK, I guess, but I still prefer toilet paper..(man this sight is so fast now, I'm probably saving more than an hour a week..)
I guess I'm a hippie who refuses to bend his will to such denominations as the radical overers or conservative underers. I just have two or three rolls on a little shelf, that way I don't force anyone to be ruled by a denomination they don't completely agree with.
