Dear Ann Landers,
remember only too well the international controversy that resulted when you printed various views on whether the toilet tissue should go over the roll or straight down, next to the wall. I certainly don't want to start anything like that again. But-I do have a similar problem that has bothered me for years. Please tell me what you think. Should the lid of the toilet be left up or down? Please note I'm not referring to the toilet seat, it's the lid I am talking about. In my opinion, the purpose of the lid is to keep it closed when the commode is not in use. I can't understand why otherwise fastidious people ignore this reasoning and keep the lid up. Please comment. -Faithful Ann Fan

Dear Faithful,
Of course, you are right. The lid should be kept down. That is the purpose of it. And since we are back in the bathroom again, I'd like to say, in response to thousands of letters that have crossed my desk over these past several years, that it is poor taste for a man to leave the seat up. Please, gentlemen, consider the next person, who may be a female.

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?
