Me too!
Me too. :lol:

If you put papertowels on the roll holder with the flap in the back, the pictures don't show up. So I figured that if the Paper company says it's to be the front, the TP should be like this too. The Paper Co. should know.

Cheers,
Kathy :)

Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I once fired a part-timer for putting it on the wrong way.

Tell us something.: Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Part of what I love about celtic/folk style music is the sound of a handful of handmade instruments that remind me of simpler times.

I suppose it is executed with a slow, wiping motion. First up, then down...

My mother used to tell me stories about using old catalogs....

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

I wish I could count on it being in the same direction each time. Really frustrating when you get used to the over-the-top method and find yourself on a dark night and can't figure out why the stuff will not roll off. Then to discover that it is down the back this time. Argh!
