I have returned safely from my trip and everyone is still alive and well and it was a wonderful five days of adventure. Anyway, since I think like two people read this, I will need to hear back from you gals.
I have two things to ponder: Carnies and toilet paper.....no connection what so ever (carnies don't use toilet paper, or soap, or have ever heard of washing...gag....)
Carnies- what is up with the people who work at carnivals? I was just at the local fairgrounds and almost gagged at some of the people who worked there. I was scared that this one hideous guy with a fingernail fungus and black teeth may try to help my daughter on his staph infected ride. I don't know what allowed me to let her go on it, but she didn't like and got off right away, she felt the icky, icky vibe.....Thank goodness for antibacterial wipes. Anyway, a neighbor just told me that there was an article about carnies saying how they are hiring homeless people and scary ex convicts, druggies and what not to work at these "family entertainment" venues. What the f*ck? Shouldn't there be some kind of ordinance, or anything that would make these places safer, (like they care if everything is screwed on tightly, they are total wasteoids) and cleaner and overall appealing? I was with a preteen and she came to the realization why they always use carnivals and carnies in horror movies. Pretty scary and observant. Keep away from the nasties. Oh, one final thought. Last year, I think it was at the same fair, we went to play a game and the Freakshow (anyone see Harold and Kumar) working took my money with filthy hands, a long dirt encrusted pinky nail, and a fluorescent snot hanging from his nose...oooh, hitting my gag reflexes even a year later.... Needless to say we did not play games this year. .. gotta go make dinner now...yum..... Word to the wise, 'step away from the carnivals'...
Toilet paper-this is quicker. I recently heard that someone made a comment to a friend that they had their toilet paper on backwards. I didn't realize there was a backwards. I guess, this person, (and new to me,) my husband like it where it rolls off the top. I found out that the man I have lived with for over 12 years even changes it! I can honestly say that I have never taken a moment to ponder the roll. Of course now that it has been brought to my attention, it will bug me.....comments.

Ok, so, since I'm the only one commenting on this, I'm feeling a lot of pressure to say something significant and witty at the same time. A definite struggle for me. But, I'll give it the old college try!
First, Carnies: Yeah, I've made a point to avoid those disease-infested, pedafile ridden events at all costs. I've explained the exact reason to my kids, too. And yes, it is true that the people hired to run the rides and travel around the country with complete and total anonymity are NOT background checked at all. They have found that not only are they are ex-cons, but they LOVE little kids. LOVE them in a way that is not healthy. I'd rather pay the extra money to go to Great America or, As GFD mentioned, Kiddie land, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of my kids AND myself!
As for the toilet paper, I've heard that rumor before -- from the top or from the bottom - doesn't it just matter that it does the job - whichever way it spins off the roll? I'm going to do a study in my household to find out if anyone cares how their paper comes off the dispenser. I'm led to believe, though, that we are mostly worried that there IS some toilet paper in the lav, vs having to scream "TOILET PAPER" so someone else can run around, find a new roll and shove it through the sliver-opening of the bathroom door. :-)
Thank goodness for people like your husband... I too am quite particular about the toliet paper roll and have been known to change it when it is dispensing from the wrong side. Some things are just better on the top! :)
Toilet paper...let me ponder the situation. Oh yes, from the top is the way this household places its TP.
Now, I have an even deeper thought/theory/question for deep thinking...
we moved @ 6 months ago and the toilets at this house are elongated. It looks kind of nice, BUT the poop sticks in the elongated part of the bowl that doesn't reach the water. So my toilets always look dirty and I already feel that some days are just filled with shit. So... any ideas? Whoas me, what is a girl to do? -Oliver
okay Oliver, I understand your dilemma and there is nothing nastier,(although there really is) than a shitty toilet. Here is a totally off the wall idea...what if....just hear me out...after you clean the toilet you wipe or spray a coat of vegetable oil on the part where the poop sticks and the water doesn't hit. Maybe, just maybe...the shit will slip. I have never tried this albeit, I have normal toilets and when we poop it is all in pretty little packages that go down smoothly. Just for fun try it and then thank me publicly....good luck.
