O.K. everyone. When it comes to hanging the toilet roll, which way do you hang it? Does it unroll from the top or under? I bet this can be an obsessive thing with some people. As for me, I don't know. I have 3 bathrooms in the house and I can't tell you which way I hang it. This would be a good question for Monk.

Over the top. Looks better, easier to access, not 'backwards" looking, and less of a cat toy.
Also, DON"T USE COLORED TOILET PAPER! It's made with dyes that aren't good for you!
I'd like to suggest to folks to try an ecologically friendly and healthier product for washing dishes and clothes called "EcoVer". It's pure, natural, cleans as well or better than Cascade, Tide, All-free, etc. You can buy it at Stop and Shop or health food stores or in the organic section of many supermarkets. it's a bit more expensive perhaps but SO MUCH HEALTHIER! I am slowly switching out all my household and personal products to natural, chemical and dye/additive free ones. I believe it makes a big difference with tics, mood, allergies, and general immune system functioning. You can also use a product line called "Seventh Generation" which is good too. They make paper products as well. Also Simple Green for cleaning or basically baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, and tea tree oil and you can clean almost anything in your house cheaply and toxin free!
And while I'm on the subject, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM LYSOL! It's a neuro-toxin!!!

Over the top, but I don't go off the deep end if it is done otherwise. I have read that it really does matter to some folks.

We are all short here, and it is much easier to reach if it comes from the top. Not a moral issue. More one of easy access. -- WWWSC #4 Charter member of the Wicked, Wicked Woman Shrew Crew Formerly known as Karen R.

Trader Joes also has a non-phosphate dishwasher soap that works well. I'm making my own laundry soap these days. Borax, washing soda (a stronger form of baking soda) and real laundry soap -- Fels Napatha or Zote. Goggle homemade laundry detergent for several recipes. I only use a tablespoon in each washload, and my clothes are coming out so clean and soft. I've also been using a mix of borax, washing soda, and oxygen bleach to substitute for half of my dishwasher detergent. And vinegar in the rinse dispenser. With a child in college I need to save everywhere I can. :-)

Where do you buy laundry soap? I've been looking for laundry soap locally without success, although I did find a web site selling a brand of laundry soap on-line.
My new (and pricey) fabric shower curtains (extra wide to fit my "L" shaped rod) need to be washed with "soap," and not "detergent" according to the care tag.
I found out only when I started looking that production of Ivory Soap flakes stopped years ago. Darn.

From the top.
Unless I'm not paying attention to how I'm replacing the roller, or I'm doing it in the dark, and I accidentally hang it the other way.
How about bed sheets? If your sheets have a pattern, do you put the top sheet on the bed so the right side of the pattern faces "up" or "down." I'd always thought the pattern was supposed to face "up," and that's the way the catalogs usually show the beds made.
But apparently that's "incorrect" according to the bed making expert(s) who write about such things. I've read articles that say that the patterns should go right side facing the mattress, and ultimately the sleeper. Here's an example of one such expert opinion. http://www.ehow.com/how_2070733_bed-print-top-sheet.html
How will I ever sleep, worrying about the fact that I may have my top sheet upside down?!

They go pattern down so that you can fold it back over the top(s) of the blanket(s) and the pattern will show when you first pull back the bedspread. I can't say I get any great thrill out of it either way.

My father-in-law saved bacon drippings and ashes from his fireplace, leached the ashes to get potash/lye, and made his own for a while after he retired. You could use Crisco instead of lard but I don't think you can buy lye in a hardware store any more.

Not sure, but Ivory soap is not so pure; like people think it is.

Bed sheets- my mom taught me to put them pretty side down, so when you turn down the top over the blanket to make the bed, it shows nicely. BUT, I put them nice side up, because my quilt or comfortere/pillows covers that part when the bed is fully made. and I think the softer side tends to be the underside.....but then if you throw the blanket off, the nice side is up. Unless you spend time UNDER the sheet looking at it (heh) it seems more logical for the nice side to be on top!
