Withhold payment? Cry? My dad had guys here finishing my shower on the day I had surgery because I cried and freaked out about being medically unable to take baths after the surgery. He also had them doing other finish work because he wanted to get paid. In true contractor fashion he waited until the very last minute. I still haven't paid him though
I did a 203k loan so I'm still waiting for my final disbursement to pay him and payoff everything I floated on my credit cards.
I think I will stop by Whole Foods tonight and look for
dryer balls, they seem Whole Foodsie. I'm a few days into making my bed. The sheets have confounded me, but so has getting the feather bed in its cover w/o killing myself and the order that things go on. I have all this silly cold weather gear that I know nothing about. Does it go heated mattress pad, feather bed, fitted sheet? Martha would be so disappointed in me.
Oh those poor castrati dryers...I thought Italy outlawed castration at the end of the 19th Century? :roflmao:
Seriously though,
Monkeytail, I was always told that electric mattress pads are NOT supposed to be healthy, BUT when you are freezing at night,
that is even more detrimental to your health. (Although I remember reading somewhere that it gives off electromagnetic radiation..)
We chose the electric mattress pad over an electric blanket in order to put the heat beneath us. Putting it under the feather bed provides even better warmth.
TBH, I don't use it often but when I do I turn it on about an hour before DH goes to bed on the "pre-heat" option...(he is always tucked in before me) then turn it off when I go to bed. I don't like leaving it on all night because I'm worried about fires. But the bed stays really warm because of the body heat, and the down blanket we use to cover ourselves.
Soooo, are do you have a down blanket or a featherbed mattress topper? If it's a mattress topper, it goes on top of the mattress, the electric mattress goes on over that, then comes the fitted sheet, then comes the top sheet, then goes whatever you opt to cover yourself with. At least that's what I do because I like a cold bedroom and DH wants it at sauna temp.
I sort of pull down one corner of the top layers and slide in so I don't unmake the bed completely because it's really difficult for me to use my arms and hands during the winter.
But, my DS seems to have come up with the perfect solution to making his bed. He sleeps inside his winter weight sleeping bag on top of the bed.
Note: My kids got DH & me a heated massage mattress pad for Chanukah/Anniversary...problem is it's too small for both of us and I can't pry it out from under his deadweight, snoring, self so guess who gets to use it?
Break over..back to work
try the dryer ball, but the old standby is to throw a can of tennis balls in there.
who gives a shiitake..at this point I am so sick and tired of teaching/editing/correcting everything from grammar/content and more in scholarly research papers in Business/Sociology/History/Art History...now I have to contend with the English/Creative Writing/Comp Lit essays and papers..not just in English but also in Hebrew..egads...Sallyca..shoooooot me now.
