Do you put your TP on the roll with the end on the top (over hand) or on the
bottom (under hand)? I read somewhere that the vast majority of genius level people place their TP on the rolls with the end on the top, which I find funny as I've always placed it that way. So, over the top or bottom. And do your owners have a preference? Mine prefer over the top as well. I haven't found a correlation between kitty intelligence and toilet paper placement, but then I haven't been looking all that hard. Pam S. |

I haven't found a correlation between kitty intelligence and toilet paper placement, but then I haven't been looking all that hard. The correlation is that cats can pull the entire roll off the core and drag it through the house if it comes off the front (as they pull down with their claws, the TP feeds off the roll), but there isn't much they can do except claw it up if it comes off the back (clawing rolls up any loose end). I learned to mount mine to come off the back many years ago and haven't had trails of it through the house since. The current batch of fourteen cats all just leave it alone. -- T.E.D. ) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla). |

They say you use less if you pull it over the bottom than over the top is
the only thing I know. I keep mine on the back of the stool as the cats tend to grab the end and run through the house with it. Later when they get bored, they tend to shred the stuff.

Somewhat easier to get at if there isn't a whole lot of extra room. Never had placement stop a determined cat. But they have all outgrown it. Now if I could figure out why male DNA prevents placing a tp roll on the roller.... My guys do laundry, iron, vacuum, cook, wash dishes etc. But have never been known to place a roll of tp on a tp roller. (They also seem not to comprehend the notion of putting the empty roll cardboard in a trash can) Jo |

@flpi147.ffdc.sbc.com: Over the top here. Somewhat easier to get at if there isn't a whole lot of extra room. What could possibly be in the way? I've used many cramped bathrooms, but never one so cramped that an overhand feed would help. As a kid, it was always underhand feed, and I just can't conceive of it being any other way. And it has the added benefit that it slows down the furkids in unwinding it, although the more clever ones will just grab the end and run. But you can't logroll it when it's underhand, and running with it is only effective until the first corner, when it tears. Now if I could figure out why male DNA prevents placing a tp roll on the roller.... My guys do laundry, iron, vacuum, cook, wash dishes etc. But have never been known to place a roll of tp on a tp roller. (They also seem not to comprehend the notion of putting the empty roll cardboard in a trash can) I'm a guy, and I can't stand using a loose roll. It's gotta be in the dispenser. Drives me nuts in the men's room at work, with the rolls sitting on top of the grab rails instead of in the dispensers. OTOH, I'm a "toss the dirty laundry on the floor" guy, so I'm not completely free of the effects of my Y chromosome. |

And a person wide enough that said elbow touches the roll. On second thought - don't. |

My husband did the laundry few times in our 30 year marriage. He wondered
why his underwear was blue, washed a pair of blue men's sock with it. He wondered why his favorite shirt didn't fit because after all he hadn't gained weight, he ran the dryer full time on hot, thought things would dry quicker that way and save money. When he did the really dark things he wondered why they had green fuzzy things all over them. "Well, there was only one towel so I threw that in to get it done." Thus the fuzzies. wrote in message ... On Sun, 2 Nov 2008 19:04:48 -0800, "Jofirey" wrote: "tanadashoes" wrote in message news:T4SdnbcMRMbT2ZPUnZ2dnUVZ_rzinZ2d@earthlink. com...

This goes in hots, this goes in colds, this stays with colors, this goes with whites, this has some color but *not enough* for colors, this goes in the dryer - but only for a few minutes then hangs to take our the wrinkles, this NEVER goes in the dryer, this goes in the dryer for the full cycle, this goes in the dryer but set on cool......yada, yada, yada. :O Men OTOH have simpler processes for our clothes: 1. Throw dirty clothes in washer with detergent 2. Throw wet clean clothes in dryer set on hot 3. Put away dried clean clothes (optional) Alternative process: 1. Have SWMBO do it.

It's usually red socks that are washed with underwear, I'm sure I'n not the
only man with pink y-fronts. ;-) -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy, Bagheera & Shadow) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk Granby wrote: My husband did the laundry few times in our 30 year marriage.

Now my mother was the 'queen of laundry' so I know all the rules and follow them. But shortly after we were married, nearly half a century ago, I washed, ironed, and hung up Charlie's Air Force uniform shirts in the closet. He took them back out and fixed the hangers to where they were all facing the same way. I never ironed another shirt for him. He didn't learn. Next he decided he didn't approve of the way I folded undershirts. I fold them in half (side to side) first. He thinks they should be folded in thirds so there isn't a crease in the center front. (Like undershirts hold a crease!) That took care of that. Haven't done any of his laundry since. A few years after we were married he lived with my parents for six months and learned all the finer points as well. So he even does a lot of my laundry too, and knows which things to leave for me. Its worked out well for all concerned, or at least for me. Jo |
