    I can tell that they’re really going to enjoy being with each other…. – And it’s good to get to observe different things about how the other operates….. makes little things like this become fun, and that cliché: “It’s all about give and take”…. it is true, for what it’s worth… how flexible one is, and how reasonable one is… if someone is a little belligerent or quick to “battle” over a matter, it’s not necessarily going to spell doom and gloom, but it is something to watch out for, when it comes to personalities meshing….

    I hang toilet paper over the front as years ago when I hung it over the back by the wall I noticed these red streaks on the wall, this went on for months til I discovered that nail polish from all the ladies scraped against the back wall when they pulled it down. From then on it has hung over the front and no more polish on the wall. Problem solved.

    Lack of compromise is why few relations last. This behavior, if she is serious, may end this relationship quite soon if not later. Good to have a two bathroom place, one hers and one his.

    The instructions that came with our dishwasher said to mix the utensils. Some should be up, some should be down. Also, types should be mixed. That way, they can’t “nest” with each other, which would impair cleaning. But, some with pointy handles have to be placed handles up, because the pointy handles fit through the holes in the basket.

    I have found that scraping is generally optional with modern dishwashers. Rice is an exception to that. If you don’t remove every last grain of rice off the dishes, utensils and cookware before you place them in the dishwasher, you will regret it.

    I guess I’m “50-50” with both. On one hand, I favor Toni in re: dishwasher utensil placement. Pointy ends down… Much safer, especially when attempting to retrieve them from the flatware bucket. Yes, I do “pre-scrape.”

    OTOH, I’m an “over the front’er.” Much easier to find the “open sheet” when you “need to.” Also easier to tear off without an “uncontrolled unrolling.” I’ve learned to be a over the fronter with paper towels, as well.

    Great comments today! We took out the dishwasher and wash dishes by hand because they get much cleaner. They dry pointed up in a rack in the adjacent basin. TP hangs over the front for utility over aesthetics. My wife and I agree on most things…she gives in to many of my preferences and I ALWAYS give in when she really cares about something.

    Toni, May I make a personal suggestion? If you always do things your way, taking care of the home work (cooking, laundry, cleaning, changing diapers), will always be YOUR job.*On the other hand, if you let him hand the toilet paper the correct way, you can always use that as leverage when getting him to clean & do laundry. (He obviuosly can’t yet be trusted to put a meal together.)

    I wonder if anyone will make it this far down the comments.

    Over the front is more sanitary. No other consideration need be made. This is also why you should always put the lid down before flushing (the toilet sprays water droplets into the air when you flush, and these mostly land in the area 3-5 feet from the toilet).

    Everyone at some time has had the toilet paper argument. I needed extra ammunition, so I checked the internet some time ago. It turns out that:1. Hanging over the back means that someone (after wiping their ass) reaches behind the roll, usually touching the wall with their (possibly disgusting) fingers. That makes me want to puke when thinking about crusty feces and finger nail polish on the wall near the roll.2. The entire hospitality industry hangs it over the front. I have never been to a hotel that hangs it over the back. Who would doubt the “professionals”.3. It is easier to control the unrolling and locate the tear-off perforations over the front.The only reason I would concede to roll it under the back is if you have a pet that likes to unwind the roll.

    Something all men need to learn…

    Speaking in favor of all the single girls here, I’m an over-the-top girl, I hand-wash dishes (and lingerie) and fold towels in thirds lengthwise (they stack better). Change the dishtowel Monday-Wednesday-Friday and handle my own finances, thank-you-very-much.

    Toni, start him off with something simple like laundry, which he’s probably already been doing. Ease him into doing pleats (which are evil!) and other housework while you take care of the fun stuff like gardening.

    However, I don’t have a cat (I’m extremely allergic) and am a geek gurl, so I’ll continue cooking – I love my crock-pot!

    You’ll get him properly broken-in, Toni. All men are fixer-uppers!

    It’s not the specific details that are shown today that’s important – it’s the overall pattern, namely that these 2 people really don’t know each other well. Toni was asking Brad what sorts of food he eats, which is something a genuine couple should know by now if they are planning a wedding. But we have seen that their ignorance of each other extends to the really major aspects of life, when we saw that they have very different daydreams of what their married life together would be. Brad wants to get married because he sees no other chance of ever achieving romantic and physical intimacy, and Toni wants to get married to have a companion to help her forget Dirk. They really just don’t understand each other, and therein lies disaster. The dishwasher and toilet paper incidents show how little effort they have expended in becoming a true couple rather than two people with their own agenda.

    I have solved the over the front / over the back problem once and for all. I am ordering three of these commercial electric toilet paper dispensers – one for each bathroom.

    The “Paper Towel” versions have been around for quite some time. Still, the problem is the same with both… never enough paper dispensed to get the job done! These are also used for “economy/accounting reasons…” (i.e. to control the amt. of paper consumed in an effort to save costs).

    I have, however, figured out how to trick the electric eye into dispensing 2-3 times before ripping off the sheet. It takes just the “right touch.” I mean, I’d be using the same amt. of paper either way… individual sheets or one continuous sheet. I’d rather have the continuous sheet and fold it up/over.

    I thought of that, as the house we lived in in Spain has bidets in both bathrooms. The main trouble is, you would have to switch bowls for each operation – and you would still have the wiping/drying problem. Plus, nobody likes finding poop in the bidet in case someone decides to take a shortcut.

    Japan to the rescue: Toto Toilet with Washlet

    I saw these on my trips to Japan. As it turns out, the use of “paper” for this vital activity is not traditional in most of Asia. You’re more likely to find a “bucket of water and scoop” in many “public” facilities, as did I on several occasions.

    One side effect, though – The washlet can be rather “powerful” (from a “current/flow” context), and can result in some undesired “soreness” in the most critical places, if not properly acclimated to it.

    Always scrape; Always over the front; forks go in points up or down, it doesn’t matter since you scraped first anyway. NO cutlery in the dishwasher, they get done in the sink all the way, but NOT in a filled sink (that can lead to major cuts from searching underwater for a lost blade)!And put the damn seat DOWN afterward, Brad!

    It would be nice if you could program it to dispense the amount of sheets you would desire. Even Sheryl Crow could set it for just one sheet. If the machine could also be programmed with a sense of humor, it could be programmed to give out a sinister little laugh if you program it to dispense two sheets or less

    That’s probably what the store management would like to call the sales… but… you know… – Would also be fitting if it would happen on a hot summer’s day, while the neighborhood had a brown-out….

    I noted the Washlet has a ‘massage’ feature – I wouldn’t want everyone sitting there all day… :)

    A quick glance at the brochure indicates that this feature is not intended for the “Eastern Frontier” (insufficient trajectory). Strictly a “Southwestern” thing, but delivering a “Water Pik” like experience…

    Unless, of course, one sits in the “opposite direction.” ;-PPP

    And to also round out the comments number, to borrow a phrase, “Shave and a haircut….two bucks! (due to inflation…)”

    One thing we forgot…. the dilemma when it’s the end of the roll.. do you use the last bit, or just replace it outright? Pertinent issues of the day!!! Lol!…

    My wife used to be over the top with the TP, as I am; but for some reason she can’t explain, she started putting it over the back about five months ago. Well, we don’t have a cat, which is the only reason I can see for over the back; so I keep reinstalling the rolls after she puts them in. And it turns out that my DW manual and my wife both agree with Brad; so I now put my forks in points up, except for some lovely place settings I got off a Lufthansa flight: The handles are so narrow that they’ll fall through the basket; so they have to go in points down.

    Over the top is technically correct. You can tell because if there are pictures on your paper towels, that is how the go the right way up. I’m still more comfortable if it hangs in the back.

    I was going to mention the “Ciallis” commercials earlier… Jay Leno showed an ad for a bathroom with a double toilet, and mentioned the commercial with two people holding hands… I’m so glad that that’s not an experience that people like to share together!…

    If you were serious about not remembering the song, it was from the TV series “Branded”, with Chuck Connors who starred as Jason McCord. – Here is where the lyrics are cited, in this /Wiki article….

    Reminds me of a little ditty I haven’t heard since probably the 1970’s:

    Ah, you don’t remember your "Chuck Connor’s TV Series – "

    Branded

    “My way”. Had a relationship like that. My way or the highway was her motto.

    It was a long and lonesome road.

    Hey, that’s good to know!Actually, I usually only have arguments about wiping with other guys, like in our office kitchen.I always suggest they drink from the washcloth, and when they look repulsed, I say “please don’t wipe it over my clean glass then.”
