Dear Ann Landers,
There is no right or wrong way to dispense paper towels or toilet tissue. It's strictly a matter of personal preference. My preference happens to be the same as your cousins'. Maybe it's because I'm from Iowa, too, and that's the way my mother used to do it. And here's what happened:

Dear Readers,
Remember the reader who was having an argument with her cousins about the proper way to set up toilet tissue? She was certain the right way was with the paper coming from the top-over the roll. Her cousins insisted the paper should come down under the roll. I sided with her cousins because that's the way my mother did it. Actually, I very nearly didn't print the letter because it seemed so in-consequential. Well, folks, I couldn't have been more mistaken. In short order, I was bombarded with letters from the four corners- including Samoa, Guadalajara, Athens and Mexico City. I had no idea so many people cared about toilet paper. Here's a sampling of what turns people on these days:

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
