Some people insist that the new roll should be inserted so that the sheets come under the roll, whereas others argue that the roll must be installed so that the sheets come over the roll. Then, of course, there are those who say it really doesn't matter one way or the other.

Celebrities With Physical Imperfections
Many people think celebrities must be perfect to make it in Hollywood. That is far from the truth. Some of our favorite stars have scars, flaws, and imperfections. Some of them are noticeable, but that doesn't matter to producers and movie directors. Skills are more important. Besides, some scripts call for actors to have certain imperfections.
