There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Joyce ,'Never Leave Me'


Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh! I thought you were continuing the joke about my own, personal clinginess and was just kinda stumped there for a minnit. I am better now.

Carry on.

Okay, but I was sort of continuing the joke at first, into nonsequiturland, silly miss Literalist!Empress.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Add it to the list.

If I only had a brain...

That is (to the best of my understanding) how dryer sheets work. They're essentially made of fiberglass, and they soften your fabrics by abraiding the fibers, thus degrading fiber strength and reducing effective lifetime of the fabric.

Nope. They work by redepositing the waxy film of fabric softener that's on the nonwoven fabric of the softener sheet.

Okay, you're right often enough on subjects like this that I'm reluctant to question you, Betsy. But I've heard confirmation of this from several people, including at least one garment industry professional, so I'm now googling for back up, but you're also faster and better at googling. If you could provide a debunking link, I'd really appreciate it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm allergic to dryer sheets.

Me too. At least, I stopped getting random rashes wherever the elastic of my clothes hit when I stopped using them, and being around clothes dried with the stronger smelling ones makes me sneezy and teary.

Sean, here's the Materials Sheet for Bounce.

If Bounce were made of fiberglass, they wouldn't be so casual about ingestion. The instructions for what to do if somebody eats one boil down to "Wait till it shows up on the other end."
