Good points, Jay, and, in fact, those are already on my list of future topics. Here’s a preview: I agree with you about the TP roll, but don’t see a clear moral imperative for either approach. The toilet seat debate, however, is currently being subjected to a rigorous statistical analysis, and I anticipate the results will surprise quite a few people. Stay tuned!

Thanks Ed, however you didn’t touch on a few much needed clarifications. The mighty toilet seat. Does it get left up after the man uses it, and if it is to be left up, both seats in preparation for the next use (by a male), or anticipate the ladies needs and leave the top up, while the seat is lowered for her convenience? And how is the toilet paper roll to be installed on the roller, rolling from the top, or bottom. I personally like it rolling from off the top, when you give it a good quick tug, you get 20-30 squares folding neatly around your lap like a soft blanket ready to be your wooby. I miss my wooby.

Thanks for the note, Cathrine. I’m sure you’ll vouch for my non-apeness around the house, in case anyone questions my commitment to my principles.

I think you have shown that this process is simple and necessary. Thank you for the breakdown. Hopefully, no one will want to be in the ape category and will do as you suggest.
